61158) and AS-Interface master (complying with the AS-Interface specification V3.0 according to EN 50 295) and allows transparent data access to the AS-Interface from PROFINET IO.
PROFINET IO controllers can exchange IO data cyclically with the lower-level AS-Interface slaves. Acyclic services can also be used for AS-i calls (parameters, diagnostics).
Apart from the digital I/O data, analog data is also stored quickly in the cyclic I/O area of an SIMATIC S7 CPU (no separate communication block call necessary).
The IE/AS-i LINK is available as a single or double master (applications with large numbers of slaves > doubles the configuration limits).
The complete underlying AS-i line can be configured on an integrated operator display in the IE/AS-i LINK (for example addressing the AS-i slaves, I/O test of all digital and analog slaves).
During operation, you have detailed diagnostic information available on the display allowing a fault to be localized immediately, when necessary.
The essential features are as follows:
S Single and double AS-Interface master (complying with AS-Interface
specification V3.0) for the connection of 62 AS-Interface slaves per master and integrated analog value transfer
S Support of the real-time function (RT) of PROFINET IO
S Integrated ground fault monitoring for the AS-Interface cable
S Convenient diagnostics and commissioning on site using full graphics display or
over Web interface with standard browser
S Configuration with STEP 7 or integration using the PROFINET type file
(GSDML file)
S Vertical integration (standard Web interface) over Industrial Ethernet
S Power supply from the AS-Interface cable (line 1), therefore no extra power

Functional earthing
IE/AS-INTERFACE LINK PN IO has a connector for functional earthing. This connector is required if the integrated ground fault monitoring is used. It should be connected to the PE conductor with as little resistance as possible.
LAN Connectors (PROFINET IO, PC with WBM)
As connectors for PROFINET and a PC (or network) there are two RJ-45 jacks (recommendation: 90° FC connector).
One LAN connector is intended for the PROFINET system, the second LAN connector of the IE/AS-i LINK is used, for example, for configuration with Web Based Management and for diagnostics. The two LAN connectors have equal status.
The IE/AS-i LINK supports autocrossing, in other words, both crossover and straight-through cables can be used.

1.8 C-PLUG (Configuration Plug)

Area of Application
The C-PLUG (order number: 6GK1 900-0AB00) is an optional exchangeable medium for saving the configuration and project engineering data of the basic device (IE/AS-i LINK) and the AS-i slaves.
When powered down, the C-PLUG retains all data permanently. This means that configuration data remains available when a basic device is replaced (module replacement without PG is therefore possible).
The C-PLUG is accessible from the top of the housing.
The IE/AS-i LINK has internal memory for permanent storage of the configuration data of the basic device and the AS-i slaves. Replacing a module without a PG is, however, possible only with the C-PLUG.
Inserting in the C-PLUG Slot
The slot for the C-PLUG is on the top panel of the device.
To insert the C-PLUG, the cover of the receptacle must be removed. The C-PLUG is inserted in the receptacle. The cover must then be replaced over the receptacle and closed correctly.
Notice
The C-PLUG may only be inserted or removed when the power is off!

Function
1 Technical Description, Installation Guidelines, Operation
If an empty C-PLUG (as supplied) is inserted, all the configuration data of the IE/AS-i LINK is written to it when the device starts up. Changes to the configuration during operation are also written automatically to the C-PLUG.
If the C-PLUG is inserted, the basic device automatically uses the configuration data of the C-PLUG. This assumes that the data was written by a compatible device type.
If a fault occurs, the basic device can then be replaced much faster and more simply. If a device needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply taken from the failed component and inserted in the replacement. As soon as it starts up, the replacement automatically has the same device configuration as the failed device.
Notice
If a C-PLUG is inserted when you reset to the factory settings, the factory settings are stored on the C-PLUG !
Using the C-PLUG
When using a C-PLUG, the following situations must be distinguished:
S Inserting an empty C-PLUG:
The IE/AS-i LINK detects when a C-PLUG is inserted and automatically writes the data of the internal memory to the C-PLUG.
S Inserting a C-PLUG of a different device type:
If you insert a C-PLUG that is not intended for the IE/AS-i LINK, this can also be used. The IE/AS-i LINK signals an error and changes to the error state (WBM and display, see also Section 5.2.7). To clear the problem, the message must be acknowledged. At the same time, this triggers the transfer of the data from the internal memory to the C-PLUG.
S Inserting the C-PLUG of another IE/AS-i LINK:
If a C-PLUG with valid data of another IE/AS-i LINK is inserted, the device changes to operational (starts up with the data of the C-PLUG). The data from the internal memory is, however, not transferred automatically to the C-PLUG. The transfer must be triggered manually using the keypad and display (or WBM) (System > Configuration > C-PLUG > Internal memory > C-PLUG; see Section 4.4). The next time the module starts up, the internal memory is deleted.

1.11 Restrictions due to broadcast or multicast communication

The IE/AS-i LINK PN IO is designed for operating on PROFINET networks where the configured participants are connected and communicate error-free. It is imperative to prevent high levels of broadcast or multicast communication on the PROFINET network.
Notice
If the level of broadcast or multicast communication is too high, the Ethernet interface of the IE/AS-i LINK can become overloaded, resulting in data transmission delays, or even device failure.
Broadcast or multicast communication arises when the PROFINET controller is looking for PROFINET nodes, for example. The search is periodically repeated, especially when configured PROFINET nodes are not available on the PROFINET network. Depending on the PROFINET controller and its settings, it is possible that the communication cycle time is subject to significant fluctuations.
This scenario can occur during step-by-step commissioning of a PROFINET network. Broadcast or multicast communication can be reduced by adapting the network configuration to the actual design, e.g. via STEP 7 hardware configuration or by calling the SFC "D_ACT_DP" SIMATIC system function (Deactivate/activate distributed I/O devices; SFC 12) in the user program.
Distributing the PROFINET or Ethernet nodes into separate networks can also reduce broadcast or multicast communication.
Broadcast or multicast communication usually also arises when other network devices such as computers or PCs are connected to the Ethernet network.
Using SCALANCE managed Industrial Ethernet switches also makes it possible to limit broadcast or multicast communication at the IE/AS-i Link by filtering Ethernet communication.
