Preface
Firmware
SIMATIC NET glossary
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit
Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under
Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens
can be downloaded to the device.
Explanations of many of the specialist terms used in this documentation can be found in the
SIMATIC NET glossary.

Figure 1-1 IE/PB LINK PN IO as PROFINET IO proxy
The LINK provides the connection between a PROFINET IO controller on Industrial Ethernet
and PROFIBUS slaves visible as PROFINET IO devices via the LINK.
From the perspective of the PROFINET IO controller there is no difference between
accessing PROFINET IO devices on Industrial Ethernet and DP slaves on PROFIBUS.
The LINK adopts the role of a proxy for the DP slaves connected to PROFIBUS.
As a PROFINET IO proxy, the LINK supports among other things the following functions:
● PG/OP communication, e.g. for loading programs and configuration data.
● Data record routing, among other things, for configuring field devices, for example with
SIMATIC PDM.
● Gateway to a DP master system
● S7 routing

1.1 Application, modes and operating modes
The LINK has two operating modes:
●
This is the mode that the LINK adopts during normal operation both in PROFINET IO
proxy and in standard mode.
●
Functions that can only be executed in maintenance mode:
– Firmware download
– Restart
– Resetting to factory settings
Access to the three functions of the maintenance mode depends on how the LINK is set to
the maintenance mode.
●
After startup the LINK is in maintenance mode for 10 seconds and then changes
automatically to normal mode. In this status only the following function can be executed:
– Loading firmware
●
After pressing the button the LINK is in maintenance mode for 10 minutes. The following
functions are possible:
– Restart
– Resetting to factory settings
To change from normal mode to maintenance mode using the button, refer to the section

means outside the configuration.
●
Within an Ethernet network with a ring topology, the LINK supports the media redundancy
protocol MRP. You can assign the role of "Client" to the LINK.
●
As an SNMP agent, the LINK supports data queries using SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol).
For more detailed information, refer to section SNMP (Page 75).
●
The LINK supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol.

1.2 Communication services and other properties
●
The LINK serves as a gateway between Ethernet and PROFIBUS. The LINK is operated
as an active node on a PROFIBUS network.
●
Field device parameter assignment (data record routing)
You can use the LINK as a router for data records intended for PROFIBUS nodes.
Devices that are not directly attached to PROFIBUS and that therefore do not have direct
access to the PROFIBUS nodes can transfer data records to the field devices via the
LINK, e.g. via SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager).
●
The LINK can be selected as a gateway in standard operation between an MPI subnet
and an Ethernet subnet.
To do this, you need to network the PROFIBUS interface of the LINK with the MPI
subnet.
●
– Loading programs and configuration data
– Running test and diagnostics functions
– Operator control and monitoring (HMI systems) of a system.
●
Cross-subnet S7 connections, for example for HMI operation.
The LINK forwards communication via S7 connections. This service is used, for example,
by HMI applications (PC stations).
●
The LINK supports time synchronization using the following methods:
– SIMATIC mode
– NTP
The LINK uses the synchronized time-of-day, for example for forwarding and time
stamping diagnostics buffer entries.
●
The LINK supports firmware updates using the firmware loader. A firmware file can be
loaded from a PC/PG via PROFIBUS, see section Loading firmware (Page 71).
●
The LINK supports storage of configuration data on the optional exchangeable storage
medium C-PLUG. This simplifies replacement of a defective module by simply inserting
the C-PLUG in the new module.

1.4 Requirements for use
Recommendation: Avoid writing data cyclically. The flash area allows a limited number of
write cycles.
You will find details in the section C-PLUGs (Page 86).
Dependent on the number of PROFINET IO devices operated in the same Ethernet subnet:
STEP 7 automatically sets the lowest possible value for the update time for the IO devices.
When necessary configure the update time for the IO devices via the properties of the
PROFINET interface in STEP 7:
● STEP 7 V5.x
"IO Cycle"
● STEP 7 Basic / Professional
"Advanced options" > "Real time settings"
In the following cases, configure a higher update time:
● Alongside the cyclic communication via PROFINET IO, you use non-cyclic
communications services, e.g. S7 connections, data record routing, HMI connections.
● Diagnostics or alarm frames occur often in the DP Master system.
You can configure the LINK for all modes via Industrial Ethernet. If you use the device as a
gateway in standard operation, it is also possible to download the configuration data via
PROFIBUS.

At the top right beside the PROFIBUS interface, there is the interface X3 for bus adapters of
the ET 200SP device family.
As an alternative, you can use this interface for connection to Ethernet if, for example, you
require an optical connection to the LINK.
The interface is constructed in the ET 200SP design and pin assignment.
You will find further information in the catalog, in Siemens Industry Mall and in the system
manual of the ET 200SP, see /4/ (Page 90) and in the appendix BusAdapter (Page 85).
For information on configuring the bus adapters in STEP 7 V5 refer to the section
Configuring bus adapters (Page 56).

Do not press the button if there is a potentially explosive atmosphere.
The button serves the following purposes:
● Changeover to maintenance mode
● Restart
After the restart a new firmware file can be loaded, see section Loading firmware
(Page 71).
● Resetting to factory settings
For information on using the button and changing to the maintenance mode see the following
section.
The connector X80 (socket) for the external 24 VDC power supply is located on the bottom
of the LINK. The external power supply is redundant (optional use).
The power supply is connected to the LINK with the supplied 4-pin plug-in terminal block.
The plug-in terminal block is designed so that it can only be inserted in one position in the
X80 socket of the LINK.
The connector X80 has electronic reverse polarity protection.
