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.

1.1 Application, modes and operating modes

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

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.

Requirements for use

Configuration and downloading

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.

When used as a PROFINET IO device: Only the PROFINET device name and the I&M data are stored retentively on the

C-PLUG. Configuration data is transferred from the PROFINET IO controller at each new startup and entered in the temporary memory.

If the C-PLUG for the LINK does not contain valid configuration data, the device does not start up. In this case, use the

diagnostics of STEP 7 for further clarification and possibly to format the C-PLUG.

If the C-PLUG has not been written to (factory status), when the device starts up all configuration data of the LINK is automatically backed up.

Changes to the configuration during operation are also backed up on the C-PLUG.

A basic device with an inserted C-PLUG uses the configuration data of the inserted C-PLUG when it starts up unless the internal memory is full. This is, however, only possible when the data from a compatible device type was written to the C-PLUG.

Saving the configuration data on the C-PLUG makes it simple to replace the LINK. If a LINK needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply taken from the replaced LINK and inserted in the replacement device. After it starts up the first time, the replacement automatically has the same configuration data as the replaced device.

The configuration data is adopted only after reloading or after turning on the power supply again.

To format use STEP 7 special diagnostics > Operating mode > C-PLUG. For more detailed information, refer to the online help in the topic "General Diagnostics Functions - C-PLUG Diagnostics Object".

Alternative ways of assigning the address parameters

4.2 IP configuration

You can decide the route and the method with which the IP address of the local interface is obtained and assigned.

● Set IP address in the project

This is the default setting. You specify the IP address when the device is networked. The IP address CP is therefore fixed. With this option, you need to configure the communication connections.

The configuration can be achieved in the following ways:

– PST, see section Assign the address and network parameters with the Primary Setup

Tool (PST) (Page 48).

As an alternative to STEP 7, you can use the PST to assign the address and

PROFINET parameters. – STEP 7 V5, see section Configuration with STEP 7 V5.5 (Page 51).

– STEP 7 Basic / Professional, see section Configuration with STEP 7 Basic /

Professional (Page 57).

● Obtain IP address from a DHCP server

This is an alternative method if the LINK is operated in standard mode as a gateway.

With this, you specify that the IP address is obtained from a DHCP server when the device starts up. To do this, the MAC address of the interface or the client ID that can be entered in the configuration or the PROFINET device name is transferred to the DHCP server.

You will find further information in the configuration manual for S7 CPs /3/ (Page 90).

4.3 Assign the address and network parameters with the Primary Setup Tool (PST)

To save you time-consuming troubleshooting in the network, during startup the LINK detects double addressing in the network.

If the LINK recognizes double addressing during startup, it changes to the RUN status and can no longer be reached via the IP parameters. The LEDs "ER" and "R/S" are lit and the LED "BF PN" flashes.

The IP address and the PROFINET device name of the LINK remain stored retentively:

If, for example during startup, the LINK detects a duplicate address in another network, the LINK is not connected to the network. The LEDs "ER" and "R/S" are lit and the LED "BF PN" flashes. The LINK is not reachable via the IP parameters.

To connect the LINK to the network, remove the retentively stored IP address as follows:

Using DCP with the Primary Setup Tool (PST), set the IP address of the LINK to 0.0.0.0 without configuration or set a new address.

This removes the retentively stored IP address of the LINK. The LINK can be connected into the network.

With PST you assign the IP parameters and the PROFIBUS parameters to the LINK for the first time.

You then download the configuration data to the LINK.

Note the required version of the PST, see section Requirements for use (Page 19).

1. Connect the PC to the LINK.

2. Start the PST using the start menu:

1. Assign the LINK a device name the first time.

The LINK ships with a fixed MAC address. Without further configuration, the device can only be reached via the Ethernet connection using this MAC address.

During configuration, an IP address is assigned automatically. This IP address is later transferred to the LINK (IO device) when the IO controller starts up.

To allow the IO controller to identify the IO device during this procedure, first assign the link a PROFINET device name - like every other IO device.

See section Overview: Installation, configuration, commissioning (Page 35) for information on this.

To do this in the SIMATIC Manager or in HW Config use the menu command "PLC" > "Ethernet" > "Edit Ethernet Node" > "Assign device name".

As an alternative you can also use the PST to assign the PROFINET device name.

2. Download the configuration data to the PROFINET IO controller.

With this action, the IO controller receives the configuration data of the LINK.

When the IO controller starts up the LINK is configured automatically like all other PROFINET IO devices.

Configuration data loaded during start-up is not stored retentively. See also section Changing from RUN to STOP (Page 44).

Configuration and operation

NTP

SIMATIC mode

NTP mode

4.7 Time-of-day synchronization

Both in NTP and in the SIMATIC mode, the time-of-day is transferred as UTC (Universal Time Coordinated).

With the SIMATIC mode you require a time master in a network.

If time-of-day synchronization is enabled in the configuration, you can set whether the LINK simply adopts the time-of-day or adopts it and forwards it. The following options are available:

●

– Adopt the time of day

– Adopt the time of day and forward it to PROFIBUS

●

– Adopt the time of day from Ethernet (no forwarding to PROFIBUS)

– Adopt the time of day from PROFIBUS (no forwarding to Ethernet )

– Adopt the time of day from Ethernet and forward it to PROFIBUS

– Adopt the time of day from PROFIBUS and forward it to Ethernet

With the NTP method, the LINK sends time-of-day queries at regular intervals to one to four NTP servers in the subnet (LAN).

● The update interval (synchronization cycle) specifies the interval between the time queries.

● "Accept time from non-synchronized NTP servers" option

If the option is enabled, the LINK also accepts the time-of-day from non-synchronized NTP servers with stratum 16.

If the option is disabled, the response is as follows: If the LINK receives a time-of-day frame from an unsynchronized NTP server with stratum 16, the time of day is not set according to the frame. In this case, none of the NTP servers is displayed as "NTP master" in the diagnostics; but rather only as being "reachable".

5.2 Clearing and for resetting to factory settings

In the configuration you can activate monitoring of the C-PLUG and the redundant power supply. When the monitoring is activated, when certain errors occur a diagnostics entry is made in the diagnostics buffer. For details, refer to the STEP 7 online help .

The CP has a two-level function available for resetting memory:

●

Following the memory reset, the LINK retains the retentive parameters. The LINK is therefore immediately ready for downloads using the IP address.

The retentive parameters include: – IP address, subnet mask and, if applicable, router address, PROFIBUS device name

– LAN settings

– I&M data

●

After resetting, the LINK only contains the MAC address (as shipped). The content of the C-PLUG is completely deleted, the formatting is retained.

The LINK restarts.
