1.1

Task and Solution


Task
Its flexible architecture and seamless integration into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) from Siemens allows SIMATIC PCS 7 to be used in various applications and sectors. SIMATIC PCS 7 allows the implementation of requirements at all hierarchy levels of industrial automation, from the corporate management level through the control level to the field level. Additional requirements to performance and the quantity framework in the field level push the integration of new technologies into PCS 7. The basis for such a technology is provided by the open Industrial Ethernet standard of the Profibus&Profinet International (PI) Organization.

1.2

Solution
With the integration of PROFINET (PROcess FIeld NET) as field bus, SIMATIC PCS 7 supports a great number of technologies for the communication on the field level. The PROFINET, based in the international standards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784, combines the advantages of the open network standard Ethernet and the field bus system PROFIBUS. PROFINET can be used as the only field bus or in combination with the proven PROFIBUS DP for the communication between automation systems and process periphery. This description gives you a practical procedure for planning and configuring PROFINET in the PCS 7 environment. This application provides a quick introduction to the topic, gives you an overview of possible topologies and supports you with numerous step-by-step instructions (Getting Started character).

Terminology PROFIBUS and PROFINET
PROFINET differentiates between two different message applications: PROFINET CBA (Component Based Automation), not supported in PCS 7 Communication across manufacturer borders (control level) of intelligent automation components and system parts PROFINET IO Cyclic communication (IO data) from the controller with distributed field devices. While the function models of PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET are similar, a different terminology is used for the individual technologies. These expressions are compared in the table below.

2.2

Media redundancy
The availability of the IO devices in an IO controller is increased by ring topology with media redundancy. If the transmission path in a ring is interrupted in one place, for example due to a disconnection of the ring line or because a node fails, then the redundancy manager immediately activates the alternative communication path.

2.3

System redundancy
The system redundancy (System Redundancy Protocol) is a mechanism for maintaining the PROFINET connection between the IO controller and the IO devices. It is characterized by a form of the PROFINET IO communication, in which every IO device builds up a communication link via the topologic network with one of the two IO controllers (active and backup CPU) of an AS Redundancy Station. In contrast to a unilateral connection of the IO device to only one IO controller, a failure of the CPU will not automatically lead to a failure of the linked IO device connections. For the system redundancy, the following components can be used:

Advantages High-performance access Failure of one CUP is compensated by switching to others Not affected by broken wires (process level) or in case of an IO device failure

CAUTION

For configurations with redundant automation system processes all connected IO devices must support the system redundancy regardless of the connection path. If one IO device does not support the system redundancy, stopping an AS sub-system may lead to a failure of the IO devices.

Typical PCS 7 architectures


System level
PROFINET is basically designed for common use in system and process level. In order to meet the security aspects and the real-time requirements in process automation, both system and process level needs to be built up and integrated separately from each other. The known architectures involving Ethernet can be implemented in the system level

NOTE

An overview of SIMATIC PCS 7 architectures is described in the document PCS 7 Standard Architectures using the entry ID:32201963.

2.4.2

Process level
In PCS 7 many different configurations can be implemented with PROFINET as the field bus (process level). The right configuration is to be selected depending on the size of plant and the number of nodes. The general topologies are presented below as well as their corresponding advantages and disadvantages relating to PCS 7 For the connection of the field level to the automation system (AS), the internal PROFINET interface (from CPU with FW V6.0) is to be preferred. As an alternative, the CP443-1EX30* can be used in combination with the standard CPU (414-3, 416-2, 416-3 and 417-4) with version V5.3.1 and higher.

2 Basics

PROFINET configuration of a single automation system A MRP ring or a tree structure can be used for a single configuration (comparable with the monomaster system for PROFIBUS topology) according to required reaction time and number of IO devices. The MRP ring is the most cost-effective solution since no additional components are needed. The IO device internal 2 port switches are used for the ring structure. In doing so, the IO device takes over the function of ring master. With a single automation system all the basic structures are supported which include: Line: simplest structure, but more prone to failure, since a device failure causes an interruption in the line Star: implement an effective wiring with additional network components. The number of nodes is depending on the switch. Ring: robust configuration with up to 50 IO devices and a maximum reconfiguration time of 200ms (for 50 ring nodes in use) Mixed configuration: any theoretical structure and flexible extension possible, partly prone to failure and complex
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

A mixed configuration (ring/start) with an MRP ring provides the best possible reliability. The MRP ring is composed of an IP controller and the switches. The IO devices are to be connected to the switches. The tree structure (a mixed configuration of line and star) with multichannel switches ( 8 ports) enables short reaction times. Up to 250 IO devices and up to 62 switches connected in series, characterize this topology. Depending on the requirements, the adequate ring, tree or ring/star configuration must be chosen.

2 Basics

PROFINET configuration of a fault-tolerant automation system For the topology of a redundant configuration (can be compared with the redundant master system in the PROFIBUS topology), the requirement concerning the availability of the IO devices is decisive. If simple availability is sufficient (no redundant connection paths), the topologies of the single PROFINET configuration can be used. If the connection paths need to be redundant, we recommend a line topology with an IO controller each at the beginning and the end. In case of an error, the IO controllers of the H system can access all the remaining IO devices by means of the system redundancy via the Sync connection. The maximum number of IO devices of this line must not exceed 64 devices. An RMP ring is possible, but does not have any advantage as compared to a line topology of the same structure.

NOTICE

For configurations with redundant automation system processes all connected IO devices must support the system redundancy regardless of the connection path. If one IO device does not support the system redundancy, stopping an AS subsystem may lead to a failure of the IO devices.

Networking of different automation systems With PROFINET the time and costs for the assembly of system parts for several AS (switchgear, for example) can be considerably reduced. By interconnecting all the IO controllers (can be compared with the multimaster system in the PROFIBUS topology, not released for PCS 7) with a higher-level ring, every IO controller can communicate with the IO devices assigned to it. To avoid intersections and thus overloads or runtime delays during the PROFINET communication, the higher-level ring must be separated by a spur line. This spur line represents a "single point of failure" and should therefore be designed as short as possible.

This comprehensive connection can be used for singular and for highly available automation systems. Due to the real time band width, it is not recommended to operate all the IO controllers and all the IO devices in the same ring. The following figure shows a feasible configuration:

PROFINET communication
Real-time capability
The real-time capability (Real Time/Isochronous Real Time) of PROFINET is implemented by a deterministic procedure. A transmission time (cycle time) for the transmission of the data is (cyclically) calculated on the basis of the configured data. This calculated time corresponds to the data exchange of the cyclic data (IO data such as process values) in a defined period of time. The acyclic data (TCP/IPUPD/IP data such as engineering and diagnosis data) are distributed to the following cycles depending on the available band width.

TCP/IP - UDP/IP data

Copyright

For the real-time communication the respective data are classified (real time classes), i.e. the higher prioritized data (cyclic data) are transmitted with priority in a reserved transmission band width. In real-time communication, we differentiate between the following two performance levels: Real-Time (RT): transmission of prioritized data in a defined period of time (e.g. max 200ms) Isochronous Real-Time (IRT), not released for PCS 7: guaranteed transmission of the data in synchronized periods of time (e.g. with a transmission rate of 1000 s, the IRT data are transmitted during the first 100 s). IRT is used for motion control applications, but not for PCS 7.

Configuration, Project Engineering and Parameter Assignment


Configuration of nodes (address and name)
This chapter describes the assignment of device names for the PROFINET nodes. For reducing complexity and possible sources for errors (IP address matching the subnet mask), the addressing is done with device names. This simple type of addressing can be compared to the way symbolic names are given to IO addresses. By using symbolic names, the usability during CFC programming was increased. When starting up, the IO controller identifies all the IO devices by their configured device names and assigns them the IP address automatically. For addressing an IO device, you have the following possibilities: a. Assigning the address by the STEP 7 Primary Setup Tool (PST) or the web-based management (SCALANCE X components). b. A memory card (MMC = Micro Memory Card or C plug) with the preconfigured device name (IO controller and IO device) and address (only IO controller).

Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

c.

Automatic assignment of the device names and IP addresses by neighbor relations (PROFINET functionality of the IO devices and the IO controller).

Note

Copyright

For assigning the names, the Discovery and Control Protocol (DCP) is used, which is used for the assignment of the IP addresses to the device name. The IP addresses are generated by the configuration tool and downloaded to the IO controller. During system startup of the IO controller, the configured IP addresses are assigned automatically.

Configuration Before the addressing of the individual components an address area and a device name structure have to be defined and integrated into the documentation. The bigger the plant, the more complex the planning becomes. The IP address and also the device name must only be used once (uniquely) in the system network. This facilitates changes in the network architecture, giving you more flexibility. Please find more information on the addressing if you use the search terms Subnetting (creating specific IP address areas) and IDNA (defining device names according to DNA conventions) in the search engine. In the following, the addressing procedure is described with the example of an IO controller (CPU 410-5H) and IO devices (ET 200M). The addresses are assigned from the ES.

PROFINET diagnostics and maintenance


PROJFINET offers a performant and consistent diagnostic concept, taking all the configured IO devices into account. Device diagnostics are divided into three levels: Error on the device: Failure of a station Error on the slot: Defect of an individual module Error on a channel: for example, wire break If an error occurs, the relevant IO device generates a diagnostic interrupt that is reported to the controller. This diagnostic information can be read out and evaluated by a programming unit in the diagnostics views.

The ET 200M with HART-capable modules support the transmission of up to 4 HART variables per channel. The variables to be transmitted (measured values) are configured in the respective field device and set in the object properties of the module. For example a field device can additionally transmit its electronic temperature or the measured value in another measuring unit. When HART variables are used, another 5 byte per variable are assigned in addition to every cyclic measured value (2 input/output bytes per channel). Furthermore, acyclic HART transmissions (configuration of a field device) need longer with every additional HART variable. In this case the use of a PROFIBUS PA device offers a performant alternative with additional diagnostic possibilities.

Notice A later change of the PROFIBUS DP address for the IE/PB link is not possible via PROFINET. In that case the EI/PB link must be deleted in HW Config, must be inserted again and be connected to the PROFIBUS segment. According to your configuration, assign a PROFINET IO address and a device name for the IE/PB link. Add the DP/PA coupler FDC 157-0, which is capable of diagnostics, to the PROFIBUS segment from the hardware catalog (profile: PCS7_V80) in the PROFIBUS DP tree, from the folder DP/PA Link.

6 Further notes, tips and tricks, etc.

In contrast to PROFIBUS (all actions initiated by the master) and Ethernet (all actions/requests are initiated by the clients and end at the server), in PROFINET every device communicates actively on its own accord (depending on the update time that has been configured). So compared to Ethernet, this results in a considerably higher parallelism of the data. To make use of this advantage it is sensible to distribute the network depending on the data concentration. Devices and the respective IO controller must be positioned in a network, while the other nodes (devices and IO controller are separated with switches) to keep the data traffic local.
