Fieldbus Systems for SIMATIC S7
rta

To connect distributed I/Os, there are different bus systems.

28
Po

The most important for SIMATIC S7 are:

• PROFINET
A

0
As the standard for communication applications at the field level it enables the connection of
TI

50

distributed field devices via Industrial Ethernet.

The Industrial Ethernet network is a local area network (LAN) according to the international
IC

-1

Standard IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and is designed for the industrial sector. It enables open and
S7
AT

comprehensive network solutions with a high transmission performance.

• PROFIBUS
M

It is the bus system for local area networks (LANs) with only a few participants. Through its
ng
SI

fulfillment of requirements according to EN 50170, PROFIBUS ensures openness for the

i

connection of standard-conforming components of all manufacturers.

in
ra

Due to the physical and communication-related differences of the two bus systems, there are
various criteria which are used for the selection of the most suitable bus system.
et
R

Cable Length, Segment Length

m

For PROFIBUS, a module line has to be reinforced after 100-1000m (depending on the
te

transmission speed used); otherwise, the maximum bus length is reached.

ys

For PROFINET, every connected component takes over this function. For that reason, only the
lS

cable length between two modules is relevant here.

It completely covers the requirements of automation. PROFINET brings together the expertise of

28

Po

the integration of existing parts of a system (e.g. a plant) determined the definition of PROFINET
right from the beginning.

PROFINET IO
IC

-1

With PROFINET IO, the integration of distributed field devices takes place directly on the
Ethernet. For that, the Master-Slave procedure from PROFIBUS DP is carried over into a
S7
AT

Provider-Consumer model. From the communication point of view, all devices on the Ethernet
have equal rights. Through the configuration, however, the field devices are assigned to a central
M

,
ng

controller. The distributed I/O device reads-in the I/O signals and transfers them to the controller.
SI

The controller processes them and transfers the outputs back to the distributed I/O device.

PROFIsafe
te

With PROFIsafe, the network infrastructure already existing for standard communication can also
ys

be used at the same time for fail-safe communication. Fail-safe and standard data is transmitted
through the same bus line. The existing bus protocols, such as, PROFIBUS and PROFINET (so-
lS

called "black channel") are used to transport fail-safe data as additional data (so-called
PROFIsafe layer).
rta
Po

PROFIenergy
PROFIenergy permits a coordinated and centrally controlled switch off of power consuming
A

devices during break times. In this way, the process uses only the absolute necessary energy.
TI

The process itself saves the majority of the energy, the PROFINET device itself only has a
savings potential of several watts. For PROFIenergy, this operating state is called "Pause".

rta

The IO-Controller (typically the PLC) establishes a logical connection to the connected IO-

PROFINET IO-Device
TI

50

An IO-Device is a distributed IO device that is connected via PROFINET IO (this corresponds to

Differentiation is made for the following IO-Device types:

• Compact IO-Device: Fixed degree of expansion.
M

•
SI

Modular IO-Device: Variable degree of expansion; can be expanded or reduced as required.

i

• Intelligent IO-Device: A PLC is configured not as an IO-Controller but as an IO-Device and

ra

provides a higher-level controller with I/O data.

This can be a programming device (PG), personal computer (PC) or Human Machine Interface
m

(HMI) for commissioning or diagnostic purposes. (This corresponds to a Class 2 Master in

te

PROFIBUS).
ys

Ethernet Switch
lS

PROFINET is based on Ethernet. For that reason, switches are always used as "network
rta

distributors". Every node is connected to a switch via a so-called "point-to-point" connection. This
is also referred to as a "Switched Ethernet". In most PROFINET devices, a 2 or multi-port
Po

switch is already integrated so that it is very easy to establish a line structure (comparable to
PROFIBUS).

Internet Protocol
rta

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the basis for all TCP/IP networks. It creates the so-called datagrams

(data packets specially tailored to the Internet protocol) and handles their transport within the
Po

local subnet or their "routing" (forwarding) to other subnets.

A

0
IP Addresses
TI

50

IP addresses consist of 4 bytes. With the dot notation, each byte of the IP address is expressed
IC

by a decimal number between 0 and 255. The four decimal numbers are separated from one
another through dots (see picture).
S7
AT

PROFINET Device Name

M

,
ng
SI

In PROFINET, each RT / IRT device must be assigned a unique device name that is retentively
stored in the device. A module exchange without PG/PC is made possible through the device
i
in

names.
ra
et

MAC Address
R

Every Ethernet interface is assigned a fixed address by the manufacturer that is unique
worldwide. This address is referred to as the hardware or MAC address (Media Access Control).
m

It is stored on the network card and uniquely identifies the Ethernet interface in a local network.
te

Cooperation among the manufacturers ensures that the address is unique worldwide.
ys

Subnet Mask
lS

The subnet mask specifies which IP addresses in the local network can be accessed. It separates
rta

the IP address into the network and device part.

Po

Only IP addresses whose network part is the same can be accessed.

e.g.: Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 and IP address = 192.168.111.10

Real-time Channel

To be able to fulfill real-time requirements in automation, an optimized real-time communication

28
channel, the Realtime Channel (RT Channel), was specified in PROFINET. It uses Ethernet
Po

(Layer 2) as a base.
A

The addressing of the data packets does not take place in this case via an IP address, rather by
0
means of the MAC addresses of the participating devices. Such a solution minimizes the
TI

throughput times in the communications stack considerably and leads to an increase in

The design of PROFINET WEB Integration focuses on commissioning and diagnostics. Access to
te

a PROFINET device from the Internet or Intranet is done with standard protocols (for example,
http). The data is transmitted in standard formats such as HTML or XML and can be presented
ys

with standard browsers such as Opera or Internet Explorer.

This worldwide accessibility makes it easy for the application manufacturer to support the user

IP Address, Subnet Mask and PROFINET Device Name

28
Po

For communication with the IO-Controller, a PROFINET device name must be assigned to the IO-
Device (ET 200SP) OFFLINE. The IO-Controller then assigns the IO-Device a valid IP address. If
the IO-Device is assigned an IP address OFFLINE, this IP address is adopted. These parameters
A

0
are downloaded to the IO-Controller (CPU) with the programming device. The IO-Controller
TI

50

(CPU) then transfers these and other parameters (such as, the I/O addresses) to the IO-Device
(ET 200SP).
IC

-1
S7
AT

Attention:
M

Only the PROFINET device name is relevant for the transmission of the offline configuration into
,
ng

the online device (Controller), not the IP address. The offline configured PROFINET device name
SI

and the online existing PROFINET device name must match. If the IO-Device has a different
i

PROFINET device name or doesn’t have a name at all, the IO-Controller cannot transfer the
ra

hardware configuration or the hardware parameter assignments to the IO-Device thus preventing
a PROFINET system startup.

The PROFINET device name of the IO-Device configured offline and the device name existing

In principle, there are two ways of assigning a PROFINET device name to an IO-Device online:

The assignment of the device name is triggered from the device configuration of the IO-Device.
et

Device configuration of IO-Device  Right-click on the Interface module (Slot 0)  Assign device
R

name (see picture).

m

The advantage of this version is that the offline configured device name is adopted 1:1 and so no
te

typing errors can be made.

ys

Version 2 (typing errors possible)

lS

The assignment of the device name is triggered via "Online access":
