3 Safety precautions

WARNING

Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable Controller), including the following items, to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC or another (external) factor affecting the operation of the PLC. Not doing so may result in serious accidents.

• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits and similar safety measures must be provided in external control circuits.

• The PLC will stop operation when its self-diagnosis function detects any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed. As a countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.

• The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.

• When the 24 VDC output (service power supply to the PLC) is overloaded or shortcircuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs being turned OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.

• SmartSlice I/O Terminals will continue operating even if one or more I/O Units is removed from or falls out of the SmartSlice I/O Terminal, i.e., the other I/O Units will continue control operations, including outputs. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.

5 Application precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit.

Caution

Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of the Unit or the system. Always heed these precautions.

• Install double safety mechanisms to ensure safety against incorrect signals that may be produced by broken signal lines or momentary power interruptions.

• When adding a new device to the network, make sure that the baud rate is the same as other stations.

• When adding a new SmartSlice I/O Unit to the Communication Unit, make sure that the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit is powered down, to prevent unexpected results when starting up the new station.

• Use specified communication cables.

• Do not extend connection distances beyond the ranges given in the specifications.

• Always turn OFF the power supply to the personal computer, Slaves, and Communication Units before attempting any of the following:

• Mounting or dismounting the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit,

Power Supply Units, I/O Units, CPU Units, or any other Units.

• Assembling a Unit.

• Setting DIP-switches or rotary switches.

• Connecting or wiring the cables.

• Connecting or disconnecting connectors.

• Be sure that all the mounting screws, terminal screws, Unit mounting screws, and cable connector screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect tightening torque may result in malfunction.

• Always use the power supply voltage specified in this manual.

• Double-check all the wiring and connection of terminal blocks and connectors before mounting the Units.

• Take appropriate measures to prevent foreign objects from entering the unit when mounting or wiring it. Failure to do so, may result in unit damage, electric shock or fire.

• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to terminals.

• Observe the following precautions when wiring the communication cable.

• Separate the communication cables from the power lines or high-tension lines.

• Do not bend the communication cables.

• Do not pull on the communication cables.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the communication cables.

• Be sure to wire communication cable inside ducts.

• Use appropriate communication cables.

• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied in places where the power supply is unstable. An incorrect supply power may result in malfunction.

• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuits in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuits may result in burning.

• Double-check all the wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power supply.

• When transporting or storing the product, cover the PCB’s with electrically conductive materials to prevent LSI’s and IC’s from being damaged by static electricity, and also keep the product within the specified storage temperature range.

• When transporting the Unit, use special packing boxes and protect it from being exposed to excessive vibration or impacts during transportation.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units.

• Do not remove the network cable during operation. Removing the network cable result in communication failures.

Conformance to EC Directives 6

WARNING

Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury. Always heed these precautions.

• Always connect to a class-3 ground (100 Ω or less) when installing the Units.

• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes.Not doing so may result in serious accidents.

6 Conformance to EC Directives

6-1 Applicable directives

• EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) Directives

• Low-voltage directive

6-2 Concepts

OMRON units complying with EC Directives also conform to related product standards making them easier to incorporate in other units or machines. The actual products have been checked for conformity to product standards. Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer. Product related performance of OMRON units complying with EC Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or control panel in which OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that units and the overall system conforms to product standards. A Declaration of Conformity for the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit can be requested at your nearest OMRON representative.

6-3 Conformance to EC Directives

PROFINET IO units should be installed as follows, for the complete configuration to meet the EC directives: 1 The units are designed for installation inside control panels. All units must

be installed within control panels.

2 Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies

used for the communication power supply, internal circuit power supply, and the I/O power supplies. Ensure that stable outputs can be provided even if a 10 ms interruption occurs at the input.

3 The GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit meets the generic

emission standard. However as EMC performance can vary in the final installation, additional measures may be required to meet the standards. It should therefore be verified that the overall machine or device also meets the relevant standards. You must therefore confirm that EC directives are met for the overall machine or device, particularly for the radiated emission requirement (10 m).

1-1 Overview of GRT1-series SmartSlice I/O Units

The GRT1-Series SmartSlice I/O Units are building-block style I/O Devices, which can be expanded in small I/O increments. This provides the possibility to configure I/O systems which exactly match the various customer applications. SmartSlice I/O Units communicate with the PROFINET IO Controller Unit by remote I/O communication through a PROFINET IO Communication Unit. The figure below shows a typical I/O configuration.

1-2 GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit

1-2-1 Features

The GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit for SmartSlice I/O controls data exchange between the PROFINET IO Controller and SmartSlice I/O Units over the PROFINET IO network as an IO Device. For an overview of the PROFINET IO technology refer to Appendix A PROFINET IO technology.

I/O Data Exchange Cyclic I/O data exchange is used to exchange I/O data between the

PROFINET IO Controller and SmartSlice I/O Units through the PROFINET IO Communication Unit. In addition to I/O data, status information in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit can be accessed from the PROFINET IO Controller Unit.

FINS/UDP Interface The PROFINET IO Communication Unit is provided with a FINS/UDP

Interface. This enables not only the PROFINET IO Controller to access the SmartSlice I/O Units using OMRON FINS messaging, but any device which supports a UDP interface (such as a Personal Computer using CX-Server Lite). This allows for configuration and monitoring of the from remote stations.

SmartSlice I/O Units

Simplified Start-up The PROFINET IO Communication Unit can be set up easily, just by wiring the

Unit, configuring the PROFINET IO network using CX-ConfiguratorFDT and making simple DIP switch settings. The Unit's configuration is read automatically when the power is turned ON and I/O is also automatically allocated in the SmartSlice I/O Units.

Device Name Store In GRT1-END-M Memory End Unit

Easy PROFINET IO Network Layout

MRP Ring Redundancy To avoid a single network failure causing communication failure within a large

Facilitating IO Controller Redundancy

The separately available GRT1-END-M Memory End Unit facilitates easy replacement of the PROFINET IO Communication Unit. It optionally replaces the standard GRT1-END End Unit. No re-configuration using CXConfiguratorFDT is required in case of replacement of the Communication Unit. The PROFINET IO Device name, used for identification of the Communication Unit on the PROFINET IO network, is backed up and restored to and from the GRT1-END-M Memory End Unit.

The PROFINET IO Communication Unit is equipped with two ethernet ports. The built-in ethernet switch functionality allows for easy line configuration of the network, as additional external ethernet switches may not be necessary.

part of the network, the units can be set up in a ring topology. MRP Ring Redundancy as specified in the PROFINET standards ensures communication to all remaining devices through the redundant path.

To ensure a safe implementation of the application, the PROFINET IO Communication Unit and the PROFINET IO Controller offer the possibility of PLC system redundancy. Two IO Controllers (active and standby) are present in a network connected to all I/O Devices. This feature ensures a fast change from active to standby PLC / IO Controller in case of malfunction.

Simplified I/O Wiring All SmartSlice I/O Units that connect to a PROFINET IO Communication Unit

are equipped with screw-less clamp terminal blocks. Wiring to external I/O is accomplished just by inserting the wire into the terminals, eliminating the need to tighten terminal screws.

GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit Section 1-2

Table Registration The configuration of the SmartSlice I/O Units (mounting order and I/O size)

connected to a PROFINET IO Communication Unit can be registered in a table simply by setting a DIP switch. Once the table has been registered, the actual configuration is compared to the registered configuration each time that the power is turned ON. If the configuration does not match, a status flag is turned ON in the PROFINET IO Controller to indicate the error.

On-line Replacement of I/O Units

The SmartSlice I/O Unit's circuit section can be removed, so it is not necessary to turn OFF the Communication Unit’s power to replace a Unit. Communication can be maintained in the remaining (connected) Units.

Parameter Backup and Restores

Before replacing a SmartSlice I/O Unit for maintenance, the parameter data set in all SmartSlice I/O Units can be backed up in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit by toggling a DIP switch. Another DIP selects the mode to automatically write the back-up parameter data to the replacement SmartSlice I/O Unit.

1-2-2 System configuration

The PROFINET IO Communication Unit connects to the IO Controller by an Ethernet network cable and it connects to the SmartSlice I/O Units by directly coupling the Units together.

I/O Data Exchange The I/O Unit data in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit is shared with the

IO Controller's Input and Output Areas through the PROFINET IO network. The I/O Units' data is collected in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit and exchanged with the IO Controller cyclically.

Messaging Services The GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit also supports messaging

services using FINS/UDP, allowing the user to send acyclic message commands addressed to the GRT1-PNT Unit or individual SmartSlice I/O Units. This can be sent from the PLC or for instance the Personal Computer.

End Unit for PROFINET IO Always install an End Unit on the last I/O Unit in the system. For the

PROFINET IO Communication Unit there are two options:

Type I/O points Model number Description

End Unit -- GRT1-END End Unit to be mounted to the end of the

SmartSlice I/O Terminal.

Memory End Unit

2 input bits GRT1-END-M End Unit to be mounted to the end of the

SmartSlice I/O Terminal. The unit has a backup of the IO Device Name of the Communication Unit.

In case of replacement of the PROFINET IO Communication Unit, the PROFINET IO Device Name will be restored from the GRT1-END-M Unit to the new Communication Unit. In case of the standard GRT1-END, additional configuration download using CX-ConfiguratorFDT is required after replacement.

Note 1 Unlike the standard End Unit, the Memory End Unit will count as one SmartSlice I/O

Unit. Up to 63 SmartSlice I/O Units can be connected to one PROFINET IO Communication Unit when the GRT1-END-M is used.

2 The GRT1-END-M Memory End Unit functionality only applies to the PROFINET IO

Communication Unit. Although the Memory End Unit has the basic End Unit funtionality, the Unit is not aimed to be used together with other Communication Units.

PROFINET IO Configuration Means

GRT1-PNT Configuration DTM

GRT1-PNT I/O Configuration

The PROFINET IO Controller Unit requires a configuration before it can exchange I/O data with any of its IO Devices. For this configuration information on the IO device must be available. OMRON provides two means to facilitate IO Controller Unit configuration.

• A GRT1-PNT DTM

• A GRT1-PNT GSD file

The GRT1-PNT DTM is an executable component, provided by OMRON, which requires an FDT Container program like OMRON's CXConfiguratorFDT (see also Appendix A PROFINET IO technology, FDT/DTM Technology). The DTM runs inside this FDT Container and provides its own User Interface. It can access GRT1-PNT and SmartSlice I/O Unit data using FINS/UDP and present that to the user. It can also save the settings, using the features of the FDT Container program. The GRT1-PNT DTM provides the user with the following features.

• PROFINET I/O Configuration

• Configuration of individual SmartSlice I/O Units

• Monitoring of the SmartSlice I/O System

The I/O Configuration User Interface allows the user to define the configuration of SmartSlice I/O Units attached to the PROFINET IO Communication Unit. It also allows the user to make parameter settings for individual SmartSlice I/O Units. The I/O Configuration is used by the PROFINET IO Controller Unit when mapping the I/O data of individual SmartSlice I/O Units onto the PLC memory areas. It is also sent by the PROFINET IO Controller Unit to the GRT1-PNT for verification when establishing communication. The I/O Configuration sent by the PROFINET IO Controller Unit must match the physical configuration attached to the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit, in order to proceed with I/O data exchange.

Monitoring the SmartSlice I/O System

Configuration via GSD File The GSD file concept is other way of configuration. The GSD file for the

Third-Party IO Controller Units

The Monitoring User Interfaces allows the user to read information from individual SmartSlice I/O Units. It also provides a means to read the Error Log of the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit.

GRT1-PNT is an XML-based file, which contains all options required to configure a PROFINET IO Controller Unit. The file can be loaded by the configuration software of the IO Controller Units, which will then present the information to the user to allow the appropriate selections to be made. The drawback of the GSD file is that - unlike the GRT1-PNT DTM - it only provides setting options for configuring the PROFINET IO. The GSD file does not provide the means to access data of the SmartSlice I/O Units directly.

The GSD file for GRT1-PNT can be used to configure most third-party I/O Controller Units. The GRT1-PNT GSD file contains all the necessary parameters to allow the user to configure the IO Controller Unit for I/O data exchange.

GRT1-PNT configuration Section 1-4

Note 1 The GRT1-PNT DTM can also be used in third-party configuration software pro-

vided that this software supports the FDT/DTM concept.

2 With the CX-ConfiguratorFDT FDT Container OMRON also provides a Generic IO

Device DTM, an FDT/DTM interface between the FDT Container program and GSD files. Alternatively, this DTM can be used to set up an IO Controller Unit, using the GRT1-PNT GSD file. This Generic IO Device DTM however, does not provide the means to access data of the SmartSlice I/O Units directly.

Downloading the configuration

After setting up the configuration, it must be downloaded to the PROFINET IO Controller Unit. The download process depends on the IO Controller Unit used.

Basic operating procedure Section 1-5

1-5-2 Preparations for use

The following procedure shows the basic steps required before using the PROFINET IO Communication Unit and the SmartSlice I/O Units.

Initial setup procedure 1 Mount the GRT1-PNT Unit and the SmartSlice I/O system on the DIN rail.

The maximum number of SmartSlice I/O Units can be 64 (including GRT1-

END-M End Unit). 2 Wire the SmartSlice I/O Units and the GRT1-PNT Unit's power supply. 3 Wire the PROFINET IO network, to connect the Communication Unit to the

PROFINET IO Controller Unit. 4 Turn ON the power to the Unit and the I/O. 5 Turn ON (from OFF to ON) DIP switch 1 on the front of the PROFINET IO

Communication Unit. When switch 1 is turned ON, the existing SmartSlice

I/O Unit configuration (connection order and I/O size) is registered in the

PROFINET IO Communication Unit as a registered table. After the table is

registered, leave pin 1 ON to enable the table.

Note The next time the power is turned ON, the actual SmartSlice I/O Unit configuration at

power on is automatically compared to the registered table. Any SmartSlice I/O Units that do not match the registered table (connection order or I/O size) will not participate in I/O communication. I/O communication will start with the other SmartSlice I/O Units.

Configuration procedure Use the following procedure to configure the IO Controller Unit together with

the PROFINET IO Communication Unit using CX-ConfiguratorFDT and the IO Controller and IO Device DTMs: 1 Turn ON the PLC power supply and the power supplies of the IO Devices

on the network. 2 In CX-ConfiguratorFDT, create a network and define the parameters and

I/O configurations for the PROFINET IO Controller Unit settings and the

allocated IO Devices. Choose the update rate for each IO Device. 3 Use the PROFINET IO Controller DTM to assign Device Names to the

actual IO Devices in the network. 4 Download the network configuration to the PROFINET IO Controller Unit.

After downloading the configuration, CX-ConfiguratorFDT will restart the

PROFINET IO Controller Unit. 5 After restarting the PROFINET IO Controller Unit it will automatically start

communication when the PLC goes into RUN/MONITOR mode.

Power is not supplied through the Turnback Cable.

Do not exceed 80 W power consumption in one block.

Evaluating the Power Supply Requirements

Unit Power Supply The maximum power consumption for SmartSlice I/O Units is 80 W per block.

1,2,3... 1 Calculate the power consumption of all SmartSlice I/O Units connected to

the PROFINET IO Communication Unit (including other Units like Turnback Units and End Unit). Refer to the GRT1 Series SmartSlice I/O Units Operation Manual (W455) for the power value for each SmartSlice I/O Unit.

2 If the power consumption exceeds 80 W, mount a Right Turnback Unit

(GRT1-TBR) on the SmartSlice I/O Unit at the point where the power consumption still is less than 80 W.

3 Connect the 24 V

Unit power supply to the Left Turnback Unit (GRT1-

TBL) of the next expansion block.

Note 1 The GRT1-TBL is equipped with separate power supply terminals for the Unit power

supply and I/O power supply.

2 When dividing the supply power, always wire (supply) the power from the

same power supply, as shown in the wiring example above.

Wiring the GRT1-PNT Unit Section 2-4

I/O Power Supply The maximum I/O current consumption is 4 A.

1,2,3... 1 Calculate the total current consumption used by all external I/O of the

connected SmartSlice I/O Units (including other Units like the Memory End

Unit). Refer to the GRT1 Series SmartSlice I/O Units Operation Manual

(W455) for the (maximum) current value for each SmartSlice I/O Unit. 2 If the current consumption exceeds 4 A or you want to provide separate

systems for inputs and outputs, divide the SmartSlice I/O Units at the

desired point with a GRT1-PD2 I/O Power Supply Unit and provide a

separate external I/O power supply. 3 It is also possible to provide a separate external I/O power supply at a Left

Turnback Unit (GRT1-TBL).

Note 1 The GRT1-TBL is equipped with separate power supply terminals for the Unit power

supply and I/O power supply. 2 Always use isolated power supplies for the power supplies. 3 Power is not supplied through the GCN2-100 Turnback Cable from one block to the

next, as shown in the wiring example above.

Setting up the PROFINET IO network Section 2-5

2-5 Setting up the PROFINET IO network

2-5-1 Network structure

Various configurations are possible.

When connecting GRT1-PNT unit within a network, the following precautions apply:

- Please be aware any additional Ethernet communication may influence the PROFINET IO Communication.

- It is recommended to separate the PROFINET IO network from the other (IT) network.

- Severely overloading the built-in Ethernet switch with traffic may cause the switch to temporarily block the ports, interrupting all traffic including PROFINET IO communication.

2-5-1-1 Line

A line topology consists of placing multiple IO Devices in series. Many IO Devices, such as the GRT1-PNT Unit, have an ethernet switch integrated in the Unit. This creates an easy way to connect the IO Devices.

Switch

Benefits:

• For bigger networks this topology implies lower cabling effort.

• This is a traditional field bus structure (compare PROFIBUS-DP).

• The Ethernet Switch is optional.

Disadvantages:

• Communication paths through many switches affect transmission times.

• A malfunction of a single integrated device will result in disconnecting part of the network.

Part Recommendation

Switch (optional) Industrial Ethernet Switch (either managed or unmanaged).

Setting up the PROFINET IO network Section 2-5

2-5-1-2 Star

The star topology is the standard-most topology for Ethernet networks. A central switch will allow communication to all individually attached devices.

Switch

Benefits:

• Flexible adding and removing devices without interrupting the network.

• Easy monitoring and diagnostics of the network.

Disadvantages:

• Cabling effort.

• Error state of switch will fail complete network.

Part Recommendation

Switch Industrial Ethernet Switch (either managed or unmanaged).

Setting up the PROFINET IO network Section 2-5

2-5-1-3 Tree

The tree topology is a hierarchial combination of multiple star topologies interconnected with each other.

Switch

Benefits:

• Shorter data communication at local node. Avoiding excessive traffic through a single switch.

• Hierarchy enables better transparency of the network

Disadvantages:

• Cabling effort.

• Error state of switch will fail complete network.

Part Recommendation

Switch Industrial Ethernet Switch (either managed or unmanaged).

Setting up the PROFINET IO network Section 2-5

2-5-1-4 Ring

The ring topology is achieved by closing both ends of a line. A network redundancy ring protocol such as MRP (see section 2-5-2 MRP Ring Redundancy) will provide a method of monitoring the state of the network and switch the communication path in case of problems.

Switch / MRP Manager

Benefits:

• Malfunction of a single switch / IO Device will not result in disconnecting part of the network. The network redundancy mechanism will automatically maintain the connection with the other devices.

Part Recommendation

Switch Industrial Ethernet Switch supporting MRP manager protocol. Suggestion:

The internal Ethernet Switch in the GRT1-PNT Unit supports the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP). This protocol, which is part of the PROFINET IO Specification, enables the Unit to be part of a ring-shaped network structure. This ring network structure will give network redundancy.

In case one of the line connections fails, the MRP ensures communication to all IO Devices remains possible through the redundant path. The ring structure can contain up to 50 Units and typically switches to the redundant path within 150 ms (max 500 ms).

The network requires an MRP manager to facilitate the redundancy. As an MRP client, there are no specific settings required for the GRT1-PNT Unit. Please refer to the manual of the used MRP manager unit for details on how to set up and operate the MRP network.

Setting up the PROFINET IO network Section 2-5

Switch Switch Switch

In case a connection fails, MRP Ring Redundancy ensures communication to all devices through the alternative path.

2-5-3 PROFINET IO Controller redundancy

The PROFINET IO Controller redundancy feature ensures seamless changeover of active PLC / IO Controller to the standby PLC / IO Controller in case of malfunction. To support the PROFINET IO Controller redundancy, a redundancy Function Block can be downloaded from the OMRON website.

Both the active as the standby IO Controller have data exchange with all IO Devices in the network. Only the active IO Controller is in control of the output of the IO Devices.

In case of malfunction of the active IO Controller, the Function Block will transfer control to the standby PLC system. In order to avoid momentary changes in output data during this control change, the Data Hold parameter should be set high enough for the standby IO Controller to take over. This value should be determined experimentally.

For details about setting the PROFINET IO Controller redundancy refer to PROFINET IO Controller manual (W12E).

Installation of Configuration Software Section 2-6

2-6 Installation of Configuration Software

In order to operate the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O system the PROFINET IO Controller needs to be configured for communication with the GRT1-PNT. For this purpose OMRON provides the GRT1-PNT DTM via the OMRON web site http://www.omron-industrial.com/

After installation the DTM will run in the FDT Container, allowing the user to set up the I/O configuration and set the parameters of the GRT1-PNT and of the individual SmartSlice I/O Units.

2-6-1 Installation requirements

The following are the minimum requirements for a PC to install the GRT1-PNT DTM configuration software:

• PC Pentium III or higher, 500 MHz minimum

• Operating System: Windows 2000 SP2 or Windows XP

• RAM: 256 MB minimum

• Hard disk space: 256 MB minimum

• Graphics resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels minimum

• Installed FDT Container software, e.g. OMRON’s CX-ConfiguratorFDT.

2-6-2 Installation procedure

1,2,3... 1 Open the Device Catalogue window in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.

2 Press the Update button to initiate the update sequence.

After updating, the GRT1-PNT DTM will be shown in the list of available devices. It can now be used to setup a PROFINET IO network and configure the Controller Unit.

Note In case the required PROFINET IO Controller DTM has not been installed, this needs

to be done first to allow the full features of the GRT1-PNT DTM to be used.

Installation of Configuration Software Section 2-6

2-6-3 GRT1-PNT GSD File

Apart from the GRT1-PNT DTM, OMRON provides a GSD file to allow configuration of third-party PROFINET IO Controller Units, which do not provide an FDT Container. The GSD file - GSDML-V2.1-OMRON-GRT1-PNT-20081205.xml - is available through the OMRON Web site http://www.omron-industrial.com/

Section 3-4-3 Set-up using the GSD file discusses the configuration of the PROFINET IO CX-ConfiguratorFDT using this GSD file.

Using the GSD file for configuration allows the user to configure the Controller Unit for I/O data exchange with the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O System. It does not however, provide the acyclic messaging capabilities to access parameters and status information in individual SmartSlice I/O Units. The GRT1-PNT DTM does provide this capability.

The next section will discuss the features of the GRT1-PNT in detail as well as how to set up, configure and operate the SmartSlice I/O System in a PROFINET IO network.

SECTION 3

Set-up and operation

This section describes the operational aspects of the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O System. It first discusses the operational features which can be used, prior to describing how to set up the system and how to operate and monitor it on a PROFINET IO network.

Device name setting and I/O allocation Section 3-1

3-1 Device name setting and I/O allocation

In order to identify the PROFINET IO Communication Unit on the PROFINET IO network, it needs to be assigned a PROFINET IO Device Name. This Device Name is an ASCII string, which is written to the IO Devices by the PROFINET IO Controller DTM or configurator. Using the Device Name the PROFINET IO Controller can configure parameter settings and establish I/O Data Exchange.

For the OMRON PROFINET IO Controller the IO Device is also assigned an IO Device Number. This number is used for the Device-related status and for the acyclic (FINS) communication to the IO Device. This IO Device number is set for each IO Device in the IO Controller DTM and is part of the configuration downloaded to the IO Controller Unit.

Similarly, the individual SmartSlice I/O Units need a unique address to identify each of them to the GRT1-PNT Unit. Contrary to the GRT1-PNT Unit, the individual SmartSlice I/O Unit addresses are assigned automatically at startup.

3-1-1 Device name setting

For the OMRON CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET IO Controller, the Device Names are set using the Network Scan View:

The actual IO Device can be distinguished either by the MAC address printed on the Unit or the Flash or Signal function of the Scan Tool. This function flashes the indicator LEDs for 3 seconds, identifying the Unit on the rack.

Note 1 Be sure to have unique Device names for each of the IO Devices in the network. As

the name is used as identification, duplicate names will result in communication failure.

2 It is not required to set IP addresses directly to the IO Device using the Scan Tool.

The addresses are set by the IO Controller at startup. Please define the specific IP addresses in the IO Controller configuration.

3 The Device Name should comply to the PROFINET naming rules, for instance no

CAPS are used. This is checked by the Scan Tool.

Device name setting and I/O allocation Section 3-1

3-1-2 Device number setting

The Device Number setting for each IO Device is used for the Device-related status in PLC CIO memory and for the acyclic (FINS) communication to the IO Device. This IO Device number is set in the IO Controller DTM and is part of the configuration downloaded to the IO Controller Unit.

3-1-3 SmartSlice I/O Unit number allocation

The SmartSlice I/O Unit numbers are used to identify the individual SmartSlice I/O Units in the SmartSlice I/O system. These unit numbers are assigned automatically at start-up, when the power is turned ON. The numbering starts from #1 and runs from left to right. It is not necessary for the user to set these numbers.

PROFINET Communication Unit

Note 1 The presence of Turnback units and cables does not influence the automatic

allocation of Unit numbers.

2 The unit numbers allocated automatically to the SmartSlice I/O Units are not related

to the PROFINET IO Addressing.

3-1-4 SmartSlice I/O allocation to the GRT1-PNT unit

The SmartSlice I/O Units’ I/O data is mapped on the I/O memory of the GRT1PNT, from which it is transferred to the PROFINET IO Controller unit. This allocation is done automatically and determined by the SmartSlice I/O Unit’s type. The figure below shows this mapping.

Connected order

I/O Data is mapped in the order in which the Units are connected, from low to high. I/O Units with bit allocation are mapped from the rightmost to leftmost bit, in 2-bit units. I/O Units with word allocations are mapped from the low to high word address

Order of allocation

SmartSlice I/O Units

Note 1 One block of mapped Output data (from the Controller Unit) and one block of

mapped Input data are maintained in the GRT1-PNT and transferred to/from the

Controller Unit. 2 The first Input data word always contains the SmartSlice I/O Status word. 3 The GRT1-END-M End Unit must be configured in the SmartSlice I/O allocation. It

contains two input bits and should be allocated to the last slot of the configuration. 4 Bit-sized SmartSlice I/O Units, e.g. GRT1-ID4, GRT1-OD4 are grouped together in

words. They are mapped from the right-most bit to the left-most bit, in 2-bit units. 5 Word-sized SmartSlice I/O Units, e.g. GRT1-AD2, GRT1-DA2V are mapped to one

or more words, from the low to the high word address. 6 Total size of mapped I/O data can be 64 words output and 64 words input.

I/O Allocation Example I/O data is mapped to the GRT1-PNT Units I/O data blocks in the same order

the SmartSlice I/O Units are connected to the PROFINET IO Communication Unit, regardless of the I/O Units’ models.

3-2-1 Table registration function

Function Overview This function registers the configuration of the SmartSlice I/O Units connected

to the PROFINET IO Communication Unit in a table within the Unit, to allow the registered I/O table to be compared automatically with the actual configuration each time the power is turned ON. The configuration is registered by turning ON (OFF to ON) DIP switch 1 of the PROFINET IO Communication Unit while the SmartSlice I/O Units’ power supply is ON. The registered table is enabled if DIP switch 1 is ON when the power is turned ON. If DIP switch 1 is OFF when the power is turned ON, the registered table is disabled and the Communication Unit will automatically detect the actual I/O configuration and start communication.

Creating a New Registration Table

The SmartSlice I/O System’s actual I/O configuration can be read and registered in the table just by switching DIP switch 1 (REGS) from OFF to ON while the PROFINET IO Communication Unit’s power supply is ON. If the registration table is being refreshed, the old contents will be erased.

nected and the I/O size (input or output, number of bits) of each SmartSlice I/O Unit. The I/O Unit model numbers are not recorded.

Comparison with the Registered Table

When DIP switch 1 (REGS) is ON and an I/O configuration table has been registered in the Communication Unit, the actual I/O configuration is automatically compared to the registered table when the power is turned ON. A verification error will occur if a registered I/O Unit cannot join I/O communication or an unregistered I/O Unit is detected. In case of verification errors, the affected SmartSlice I/O Units will not participate in I/O communication. I/O communication will start with the other SmartSlice I/O Units.

There are the same number of Units, but the I/O data size does not match, so a verification error occurs and this I/O Unit does not participate in communications.

Registration table

The actual configuration is compared to the registered table. Units that do not match the registered table do not participate in I/O communications. I/O communications start with the other I/O Units.

Note 1 Register the I/O configuration table when all of the SmartSlice I/O Units are

communicating, i.e., when the PROFINET IO Communication Unit’s TS indicator is lit green.

2 A mismatch (verification error) with the registered table is indicated at the

PROFINET IO Communication Unit’s TS indicator (flashing red). The error details can be retrieved using the GRT1-PNT DTM. Also, the error history can be read with an explicit message command.

Unit functions Section 3-2

3-2-2 Backup function

Function Overview The backup function records the parameter data of all SmartSlice I/O Units

connected to the PROFINET IO Communication Unit. The parameter data recorded in the Communication Unit can be restored to the SmartSlice I/O Units later with the automatic restore function when a SmartSlice I/O Unit has been replaced.

2 Turn DIP switch 4 (BACK) ON, then OFF, and then ON again within

3 seconds to start the back up.

3 While the data is being backed up, the PROFINET IO Communication

Unit’s TS indicator will flash green every 0.5 second. The TS indicator will stop flashing (not lit) when the backup is completed. If the backup operation fails, the TS indicator will be lit red for 2 seconds.

Note 1 Do not turn OFF the power supply or reset the Configurator while data is being

backed up. The data will not be backed up properly if the power is turned OFF.

2 The backup data will be erased along with the registered I/O configuration table if

DIP switch 1 (REGS) is turned OFF.

3 Backing up the parameter data is recommended to allow easy replacement of faulty

Units in the future.

3-2-3 Automatic restore function

Function Overview When a SmartSlice I/O Unit has been replaced, this function will automatically

download (restore) SmartSlice I/O Unit parameter data that was previously backed up in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit. The following conditions are required to execute the automatic restore function:

• DIP switch 1 (REGS) was ON when the power was turned ON, and the registered table is therefore enabled.

• DIP switch 3 (ADR) was ON when the power was turned ON, and the automatic restore function is therefore enabled.

• Parameter data has been backed up in the PROFINET IO Communication Unit.

2 Release the locks on the front of the SmartSlice I/O Unit that must be

replaced and remove the terminal block. The wiring can remain connected.

3 Remove the main block of the SmartSlice I/O Unit and replace it with a new

SmartSlice I/O Unit of the same type.

4 Mount the terminal block that was removed in step 2 and latch the locks

that were released.

5 When the power is turned ON again, the Communication Unit will

automatically detect the Unit that was replaced and download the backup data. The SmartSlice I/O Unit’s TS indicator will indicate the results of the restore operation.

• If the download was successful, the Unit will be reset automatically and join I/O communication normally. The I/O Unit’s TS indicator will be lit green.

• If the download failed, the I/O Unit’s TS indicator will flash red.

• If the connected Unit is the wrong model, the I/O Unit’s TS indicator will be lit red.

Note 1 Do not turn OFF the power supply or reset the PROFINET IO Communication Unit

while data is being restored. The data will not be restored properly if the power is turned OFF.

2 When a SmartSlice I/O Unit has been replaced with the power ON and the new I/O

Unit joins I/O communication, the new Unit will be compared to the previous one and the parameter data restore operation will start automatically. While data is being restored, the PROFINET IO Communication Unit’s TS indicator will flash green every 0.5 second. The TS indicator will stop flashing (not lit) when the restore operation is completed. If the restore operation fails, the Automatic Restore Monitor Flag (bit 13 of the Communication Unit status flags) will be turned ON and the Communication Unit’s TS indicator will be lit red for 2 seconds.

3-2-4 On-line replacement function

Function Overview When one of the SmartSlice I/O Units connected to the PROFINET IO

Communication Unit must be replaced, the Unit can be replaced without turning OFF the power. The Units can be replaced on-line because the SmartSlice I/O Units are made up of 3 blocks: the base block, main block, and terminal block.

Unit functions Section 3-2

When replacing a SmartSlice I/O Unit, leave just the base block connected and replace the main block. I/O communication will continue with the other I/O Units even while the problem Unit is being removed and replaced.

To keep the system online, leave the communications block connected.

4 Remove the main block of the SmartSlice I/O Unit and replace it with a new

I/O Unit of the same type.

5 Mount the terminal block that was removed in step 2 and latch the locks

that were released.

6 Turn ON the I/O power supply.

Note 1 When a Unit withdraws from I/O communication during replacement, the

corresponding SmartSlice I/O Unit Communication Withdrawn Flag will go ON and the PROFINET IO Communication Unit’s TS indicator will flash red.

2 Before using the automatic restore function, the preparation for automatic

restoration (creating backup data and turning ON DIP switch 3) must be completed. See section 3-2-3 Automatic restore function for details.

3 Always turn OFF the I/O Unit’s I/O power supply before replacement in order to

prevent false output signals, false input signals, and electrical shocks. In addition, if external power is supplied to the terminal block for a Unit such as a Relay Output

Unit, turn OFF that power supply before replacing the Unit. 4 Only replace one I/O Unit at a time. 5 Always replace the I/O Unit with the same model of I/O Unit. If a Unit is replaced

with a different model, there may be unexpected outputs and the restore operation

may not be completed properly. 6 If the base block is faulty or damaged, turn OFF the power supply and replace the

entire Unit. Even in this case, the I/O Unit’s parameter data will be restored

automatically if the automatic restore function is enabled when the power is turned

ON.

3-2-5 I/O Communication error history monitor

Function Overview The PROFINET IO Communication Unit can record the 64 most recent

GRT1-END-M Unit functions Section 3-3

3-3 GRT1-END-M Unit functions

The GRT1-END-M Memory End Unit ensures a quick and easy replacement of the GRT1-PNT in case of malfunction. The END-M Unit contains the Device Name of the IO Device, which is used for the identification within the PROFINET network. When configuring the PROFINET network, any Device Name written by the Scan Tool of the IO Controller DTM to the IO Device will be written immediately into the END-M Unit.

Be sure to execute the Backup function (see section 3-2-2 Backup function) after setting the Device Name at configuration time and afterwards to enable the Automatic Restore function of section 3-2-3 Automatic restore function. In this way also a replacement of a malfunctioning GRT1-END-M can be done without additional configuration actions.

At power-up of the system, the Device Name in the GRT1-PNT is compared to the Device Name that is stored in the GRT1-END-M and updated according to the following rules.

Name in GRT1-PNT Name in GRT1-END-M Resulting Name in GRT1-PNT

Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration Section 3-4

3-4 Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration

Setting up a PROFINET IO Controller Unit to exchange parameters and I/O data with the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O System involves defining the I/O configuration to the IO Controller Unit and setting parameters needed at run-time. Refer to Appendix A PROFINET IO technology for more information on PROFINET IO network commissioning.

For configuring the PROFINET IO network with the GRT1-PNT Units, it is required to connect the Personal Computer directly to the ethernet network. It will be able to:

• Configure the IO Device names directly on the network.

• Use the online functions of the GRT1-PNT DTM to access detailed

SmartSlice I/O Unit parameters.

A direct ethernet connection of the Personal Computer to the PROFINET IO network can also be used to connect to the PLC CPU through the IO Controller. It can be used to configure and monitor the PLC and the PROFINET IO Controller. Please note this is also possible using the other communication interfaces (for instance Toolbus) of the PLC CPU.

This section discusses the methods of configuration.

3-4-1 Defining the PROFINET IO network

Defining the PROFINET IO network in the CX-ConfiguratorFDT, starts with defining the PROFINET IO Controller Unit and assigning the IO Devices to it. Defining and assigning devices can be achieved using drag & drop from the CX-ConfiguratorFDT Device Catalogue. Refer to the CS/CJ-series PROFINET IO Controller Unit Operation Manual (W012E) for more information on how to assemble a network. The figure below shows CX-ConfiguratorFDT with an assembled network in the left window pane and the Device Catalogue opened in the main window pane.

To define the I/O Configuration of the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO Communication Unit, double-click the device in the Network View. A separate configuration window will pop up, which is described in the next section.

Note 1 Not shown in the list is the first input word, containing the GRT1-PNT Unit status

word (refer to section 3-1-4 SmartSlice I/O allocation to the GRT1-PNT unit for an

explanation on this word). The GRT1-PNT DTM automatically inserts the status

word in the I/O Configuration. 2 The sequence of I/O Devices selected in the I/O Module tab must match the

sequence of physical devices attached to the GRT1-PNT. Otherwise I/O Communi-

cation will not be achieved. 3 The grouping of bit-sized SmartSlice I/O data into words is performed automatically

by the GRT1-PNT.

As an alternative to selecting the I/O Configuration manually, the complete I/O Configuration can be uploaded from the GRT1-PNT Unit. To accomplish this, perform the following steps.

1,2,3... 1 In the Network View, select the GRT1-PNT and right-click the mouse.

2 From the context menu, which pops up, select the option Go Online. 3Press the Upload button. This will initiate an upload of all SmartSlice I/O

Information, i.e. I/O Configuration, Unit types and Unit parameters. From

this upload, the I/O Configuration in the Configuration list will be assembled

automatically.

Note Uploading may take some time, due to the amount of parameters.

Editing SmartSlice I/O Unit Settings

After making the I/O configuration selection, the settings of individual SmartSlice I/O Units can be set or changed. To do this, perform the following steps.

Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration Section 3-4

1,2,3... 1 Select the SmartSlice I/O Unit in the I/O Configuration.

2 Press the Edit button below the I/O Configuration list. The appropriate

setting window will pop up.

Using the On-Line Functions

Note 1 In order to download/upload settings for individual SmartSlice I/O Units, the DTM

has to be on-line with the physical GRT1-PNT Unit, i.e. it has to be able to establish a connection with the device.

2 In the case of the GRT1-AD2 some parameter settings will affect the I/O Configura-

tion, i.e. it will change the I/O size for that particular SmartSlice I/O Unit. In that case, the I/O Configuration for the PROFINET IO Controller Units needs to be (re-) downloaded. If this is required, an appropriate warning window will pop up.

3 The configuration options and windows for individual SmartSlice I/O Units are

described in detail in the GRT1 Series SmartSlice I/O Units Operation Manual (W455).

4 The GRT1-PNT Unit does not support the Output Hold/Clear settings for the

SmartSlice I/O Units in case of host communication/PROFINET IO fault (Idle action). The Output Hold/Clear settings for SmartSlice bus fault (Fault action) is supported.

In order to use the online functions of the GRT1-PNT DTM, be sure to connect the Personal Computer directly to the ethernet network. The communication will go directly to the GRT1-PNT unit, not through the IO Controller.

At the bottom of the GRT1-PNT DTM are four buttons which will be enabled after the DTM has established communication with the physical device. Switching to on-line must be done via the FDT Container. To switch to on-line, perform the following steps in the configurator.

1,2,3... 1 In the Network view, right-click the GRT1-PNT.

2 From the context menu, which pops up, select the option Go Online.

The functions of the buttons are discussed below.

Upload Button Pressing the Upload button will initiate an upload of all SmartSlice I/O

Information, i.e. I/O Configuration, Unit types and Unit parameters. From this upload, the I/O Configuration in the Configuration list will be assembled.

Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration Section 3-4

Note Uploading may take some time, due to the amount of parameters.

Download Button Pressing the Download button will initiate a download of all SmartSlice I/O

Information, i.e. I/O Configuration, Unit types and Unit parameters.

Compare Button Pressing the Compare button will initiate a comparison between the I/O

Configuration and parameters of all SmartSlice I/O Units and the data stored within the DTM. In case a mismatch is found, a warning screen will pop up to notify the user.

Reset Button Pressing the Reset button will initiate a system reset, i.e. the GRT1-PNT as

well as the attached SmartSlice I/O Units will be reset. A Reset will also force the connected SmartSlice I/O Units to restore their settings from their non volatile storage. In some cases a reset is a necessity to force the SmartSlice IO Units to use newly written parameters.

Note If changes have been made via the SmartSlice I/O Unit’s parameter windows, which

require a system reset, the user is notified of this through a pop notification window.

3-4-3 Set-up using the GSD file

In case third-party IO Controller Units are used, of which the Configuration software does not support FDT/DTM technology, the GRT1-PNT GSD File can be used to configure that IO Controller.

Note 1 Using the GSD File allows for I/O Configuration and I/O data exchange with the IO

Controller Unit. It does not provide easy access to other Unit parameters. 2 PROFINET IO Controller Units can also be configured using the GSD File, although

the DTM is available and has many more features.

The figure below shows the Generic IO Device DTM, used in CXConfiguratorFDT to handle GSD Files.

Defining the I/O Configuration

To define the I/O configuration, perform the following steps.

Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration Section 3-4

1,2,3... 1 Select the Configuration Modules.

2 Select the individual I/O modules in the same sequence as they are

physically connected to the Communication Unit GRT1-PNT by clicking

Add Module. 3 Click on the added module to show the available modules. 4 Select the required module. 5 If applicable, repeat the previous steps to add another module.

Observe the following.

• The 2- and 4-point Digital Units occupy 2 or 4 bits of I/O data. Adjacent

digital Input Units or Output Units must be assembled in to 1 word.

• To assemble multiple Digital Units, first select the appropriate Unit listed in

the available Modules list, which is not marked with a asterisk. This will

indicate the start of a new word. For the subsequent units the I/O modules

marked with an asterisk must be selected until a word has been filled up.

• When using digital input (or output) units after an analog input (or output

unit), a new word has to be allocated. Select a module which is not marked

with an asterisk.

• After a word has been filled up, a new word must be started by selecting

again the next I/O module not marked with an asterisk.

• Do not attempt to put Input Units and Output Units in one and the same

word. This will result in a parameterization error, after downloading the

configuration to the Controller Unit.

• The 8-point digital, analog and counter Units occupy whole words.

To further explain the mapping sequence, an example is given below.

Example To illustrate how the Digital and Analog SmartSlice I/O Units are mapped on to

I/O words, and how to implement this using the GSD File, consider the table below.

SmartSlice I/O Unit Selected I/O Module I/O Word/Bit

3-4-4 Mapping I/O data

The I/O Configuration can now be mapped on to the PROFINET IO Controller Unit. The PROFINET IO Controller Unit provides a means to map individual I/O Configuration modules to specific memory areas.

Example As an example, the I/O mapping of the I/O Configuration made using the

Generic Device IO DTM is shown in the window below.

The window above shows the SmartSlice I/O Input data, mapped onto CIO 3300 to 3304. The first row indicates the COM Status word, the other rows indicate the GRT1-ID Units.

After setting up the I/O Configuration, it needs to be downloaded to the Controller Unit.

Set-up the GRT1-PNT Configuration Section 3-4

For information on how to map the I/O data on to the PLC memory, refer to the PROFINET IO Controller Unit Operation Manual (W12E).

Monitoring the GRT1-PNT Section 3-5

3-5 Monitoring the GRT1-PNT

After network commissioning has been finished and there is communication between the PROFINET IO Controller Unit and the GRT1-PNT, there are multiple ways to monitor the status of the GRT1-PNT and its connected SmartSlice I/O Units.

The monitoring status is available are displayed by the DTMs or can be accessed from the IO Controller and used within the PLC program.

Monitoring Features There are three types of monitoring information

• The Communication Unit's Status Flag as part of PROFINET IO Data

• The PROFINET IO Communication Status as indicated by the PROFINET IO Controller

• The GRT1-PNT status information using the DTM

3-5-1 Communication Unit's Status Flags

The Communication Unit's status or in short COM status flags are allocated as the first word within the PROFINET IO Data with the PROFINET IO Controller.

These flags can be used to monitor the status of the connection between the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O Units as well as the status of the SmartSlice I/O Units themselves. The table below defines the individual bits in the Status word.

4-1 Overview

The PROFINET IO Communication Unit and the Configuration DTM provide extensive means for troubleshooting, which can be used to quickly determine errors in the Unit, in the SmartSlice I/O Unit configuration, and/or in the network.

Troubleshooting on the GRT1-PNT Unit

For troubleshooting purposes, the following error indicators can be used:

• LED indicators on the front of the Unit Two red error LED indicators and four status LED indicators show Unit and SmartSlice I/O system status and errors.

• PROFINET IO errors The PROFINET IO Configurator or DTMs can be used to find detailed information about the errors on the PROFINET IO network.

This section provides a number of procedures for troubleshooting, based on the error indicators listed above.

Troubleshooting using the LED indicators Section 4-2

4-2 Troubleshooting using the LED indicators

The figure below shows the available LED indicators on the PROFINET IO Communication Unit and on the SmartSlice I/O system attached to it. The GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O Units are operating normally when all of the LED indicators are lit green.

PROFINET IO technology

A-1 Introduction to PROFINET

As a common solution for the industrial communication, the PROFIBUS International organisation introduced the PROFINET Industrial Ethernet standard. PROFINET is the next step for building on the current:

• PROFIBUS DP, the well-known and established fieldbus;

• Industrial Ethernet.

PROFINET is the innovative and open standard for Industrial Ethernet. PROFINET satisfies all requirements for automation technology. With PROFINET, solutions can be implemented for factory and process automation, for safety applications and for motion control. PROFINET is now standardized in IEC 61158 and IEC 61784.

The use of PROFINET minimizes the cost of installation, engineering and commissioning.

PROFINET IO Distributed field or I/O Devices are integrated through PROFINET IO. This

uses the usual IO view of PROFIBUS DP, whereby the IO data of field devices are cyclically transmitted to the process image of the PLC.

The PROFINET IO device model is based on the PROFIBUS implementation, consisting of insertion (slots) and groups of I/O channels (subslots). The characteristics of the field devices are described via a General Station Description (GSD) on an XML basis.

The installation, monitoring and maintenance of PROFINET IO will be familiar to engineers accustomed to PROFIBUS DP. The distributed field devices are allocated to a controller during configuration.

PROFINET CBA The PROFINET component model has its application in distributed automation

systems. This is mainly used for intelligent field devices with programmable functionality as well as controllers. PROFINET CBA divides distributed, complex applications into autonomous units of manageable size.

A distributed automation system based on these autonomous units simplifies the modularization of plants and machines, permitting separate and crossvendor development.

PROFINET based on a component model is described using a PROFINET Component Description (PCD), which is XML-based.

A-2 PROFINET Communication

PROFINET uses Ethernet and TCP, UDP and IP as basis for the communication between the devices.

TCP/IP and UDP/IP For non-time critical messaging PROFINET uses standard Ethernet

mechanisms over TCP/IP and UDP/IP.

Field devices are addressed using a MAC and IP address. This is similar to the standard Ethernet communication. In these protocols, the networks are identified based on the IP address. Within a single network the MAC address is used for the addressing of the target devices.

This addressing features enables integration with the IT world without limitation. The OMRON I/O Devices can accordingly support the OMRON Ethernet protocols, enabling additional communication with OMRON PROFINET devices.

TCP provides an error-free transmission of data from sender to receiver. It establishes a connection between the two stations before the transmission is complete. This connection is monitored during operation and disconnected after the transmission is complete.

UDP does not guarantee an error-free transmission of data. However, the UDP is connectionless. Each message is an individual transmission. Because of the lack of overhead (connection establishment, monitoring, etc.), this protocol is more suitable for time-critical applications.

RT and IRT The TCP/IP and UDP/IP communication protocols apply a considerable

amount of control overhead which will slow down data transmission speed which is required for PROFINET applications. To facilitate Real-Time capabilities for data exchange, the PROFINET uses a specific protocol of Real-Time (RT) Communication. This protocol cancels some of the flow control and addressing in comparison with the TCP/IP and UDP/IP.

For the prioritized transmission of RT-frames, Real-Time communication uses the VLAN tag as defined in IEEE 802.1Q.

For demanding communication tasks of high performance within PROFINET, for instance Motion Control, the Isochronous Real Time (IRT) has been developed. This communication requires specific hardware to establish integrated switch functionality and cycle synchronization.

A-3 PROFINET Distributed I/O

The focus of PROFINET IO is to have cyclic data exchange between a controller and multiple often simple communication devices. The aim is to have high performance and ease to use. The experience of the PROFIBUS fieldbus has been integrated into the PROFINET IO from user’s point of view.

The PROFINET IO distinguishes the following different device roles. Please note a single device can have multiple roles.

6 IO device DP slave Device for receiving sensor signals and

controlling actuators like valves, switches and frequency converters.

IO Controller A PROFINET IO Controller is the central device in the PROFINET network. It

has the control over the state of the network and processes the data and alarms. The IO Controller typically is a PLC Unit that processes the data and alarms in the user program. It establishes the connection to the devices on the network during system start-up.

IO Supervisor A PROFINET IO Supervisor is an optional device in the network, which has

temporary access to the field devices. It is typically an engineering station for monitoring or commissioning of the system.

IO Device A PROFINET IO Device is a remotely connected field device, close to the

manufacturing process. It is configured by the IO Controller to cyclically interchange process data with the IO Controller. The IO Device can have multiple connections to different IO Controllers / IO Supervisors in the network and will generate alarms if problems occur with the communication or the manufacturing process.

Device Model The PROFINET IO application layer describes the modules of an IO Device in

a similar way as for PROFIBUS DP. A PROFINET IO Device consists of slots for which the modules/submodules can be inserted. The technical data concerning the slots and subslots are defined in the GSD file of a device.

Slot A Slot is the physical place of insertion of a module in an IO Device. Various

subslots are located in the various slots, which contain data for cyclic data exchange.

Subslot Subslots provide an additional addressing layer. They enable grouping of

similar channels within a slot. Each slot has to comprise at least one subslot with [1:n] I/O channels.

Index The index specifies the data related to a specific subslot, to be read or written

acyclically.

The device model is shown in the following graph:

Number Description

1 Communication Unit

2 I/O Module

3 Submodule

4 Channel

2 2 2

Provider/Consumer Model The data exchange between IO Controller and the IO Devices is carried out

based on the provider-consumer model. The provider sends its data to the consumer without a request from the other device. The consumer processes the data. The provider (as the consumer) is either the IO Controller or the IO Device.

The Input Output Provider Status (IOPS) indicates the status of the data source (valid or invalid) for each of the modules as part of the data exchange message. This can be the Output data for the IO Controller and the Input data for the IO Device. The provider status is either bad or good, implying the received data is either invalid or valid for use. For example the Output data of the IO Controller is set to bad in case the PLC is in Program mode.

The Input Output Consumer Status (IOCR) indicates the feedback on the provided data received before. This status (Bad or Good) is indicated in the Input data for the IO Controller and the Output data for the IO Device. As an example when considering the IO Controller Redundancy: an IO Device will only feedback to the active IO Controller it has consumed its output (status Good). The standby IO Controller will get IOCR Bad status as response.

A-4 PROFINET Communication Services

The IO Controller establishes a connection to its IO Devices based on the configuration which has been given by the user. The Application Relation (AR) includes all data needed to achieve this data exchange. A single AR can include multiple Communication Relations (CRs). For implementation of different communication profiles, such as PROFIdrive, the PROFINET IO contains special addressing elements. These elements are called Application Process Identifier (APIs).

The following CRs are possible for each API.

• IOCR, consisting of input, output or multicast

• Record data CR for exchange of acyclic data

• Alarm-CR for communicating alarms and other events

The data exchange between the IO Device and the IO Controller occurs in a poll cycle as configured by the IO Controller. The user is capable to set this update cycle in the IO Controller configuration for each of the IO Devices. This results in mutual monitoring of functional operability (watchdog function). All cyclic data is provided with a status that encodes the validity of the data.
