1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Process automation requirements for the fieldbus
Digitalization starts in the field
Scalability and availability are typical requirements of process automation.
This also includes increasing flexibility for future plant extensions, with ever faster
commissioning and less downtimes.
In order to meet these classic requirements, digitization plays an increasingly
important role. The approach of digitization requires uninterrupted digital
communication from the command level down to the final controlling element
in the field level.
Central process automation requirements for the fieldbus

 Scalable redundancy
 Flexible architecture
 High reliability and availability
 Ease of use
 Horizontal and vertical integration

Investment protection
1.2 PROFINET as a fieldbus

Why PROFINET?
When used as a fieldbus, PROFINET meets all the requirements of process
automation, offers many advantages compared to PROFIBUS DP and thus forms
a future-proof platform for plants in the process industry.
PROFINET is an open standard for fieldbus communication that combines the
advantages of the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus standard with those of the Industrial
Ethernet network standard. This continuous communication forms the basis for
horizontal and vertical integration and is thus the cornerstone for the
implementation of digitization.
Figure 1-1

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 5
1 Introduction
PROFINET in comparison to PROFIBUS DP

Besides the prevailing simple line structures and rings via PROFIBUS DP's optical
link modules (OLM), PROFINET also supports ring, tree and star topologies with
one or more IO controllers by default. This makes the network architecture more
individually adaptable to the plant and facilitates the implementation of future
system extensions.
PROFINET allows up to 1440 bytes of cyclic user data per device as opposed
to PROFIBUS DP, which only allows 244 bytes. These larger data sets are easily
handled by PROFINET thanks to a higher transmission rate of 100 Mbps full
duplex, when compared to PROFIBUS DP's maximum of 12 Mbps (typically
1.5 Mbps). PROFINET also uses this bandwidth more effectively.
With PROFINET, commissioning is also much faster and simpler than with
PROFIBUS DP because only point-to-point connections exist and there is no
need to take the entire bus in operation at once.
Benefits
 Quicker and easier device replacement
 Real-time and deterministic response
 IT standards, such as TCP/IP protocol, are supported
 Physical and/or logical segmentation of the plant
 High availability and flexibility for plant extensions
 Investment protection through integration of existing bus systems
1.3 PROFINET in SIMATIC PCS 7

By integrating SIMATIC PCS 7 version 9.0 and a variety of hardware and software
innovations, the functionality of PROFINET has been significantly extended in the
PCS 7 version.
This documentation serves as a guide and describes the most important topics
and functions when using PROFINET in SIMATIC PCS 7.
These include:
 Flexible and scalable availability with functionalities, such as system
connection, media redundancy, changes during operation, etc. (Chapter 2)
 Hardware required for using PROFINET in SIMATIC PCS 7 (Chapter 3)
 Blueprints – recommended PROFINET network configurations as a planning
template for different subsystems (Chapter 4)
 Guidelines for using PROFINET in SIMATIC PCS 7 (Chapter 5)
 PROFINET Tools in the Lifecycle overview (Chapter 6)

2.1 System connections

2.1.1 Single PROFINET configuration S1
A single PROFINET configuration S1 refers to the connection of an IO device via

one interface module, which only establishes one application relationship with one
IO controller.
This means that the peripheral device is only connected to the standard
automation system via one communication connection or, in the case of H-
systems, unilaterally. The IO device fails if this communication connection gets
interrupted or if the interface module fails.
S2 capable devices that have one interface module can also be connected
to standard automation systems via a single PROFINET configuration S1.
Symbol used:
Example configuration
AS 410 Single Station and ET 200SP HA with one interface module
Figure 2-1

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 8
2.1.2 Media redundancy with MRP
Media redundancy is a function that ensures network and system availability.

The Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) enables the connection of IO devices
based on ring topologies. If the transmission link in the ring is interrupted at one
point, for example, due to a break in the ring cable or the failure of a node, the
redundancy manager immediately activates the alternative communication path.
The switchover lasts a maximum of 200 ms. The use of MRP is not affected by
system redundancy (S1, S2 or R1) and it can be used with all three. You can
find further information about MRP in Chapter 5.4.
Symbol used:
AS 410 Single Station and ET 200SP HA with one interface module
Figure 2-2

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 9
2.1.3 System redundancy S2
System redundancy S2 refers to the connection of an IO device via one interface

module, which establishes one application relationship with each of both IO
controllers in the H-system.
This means that the peripheral device is connected to both IO controllers of the
H system via two communication connections. Several communication connections
can be established using one physical cable to enable the IO device to be
connected via one or two cables (see example configuration). If a communication
connection is interrupted, all data and diagnostic functions are retained in the
H system. Communication connections are switched over without interruption.
However, if the interface module fails, it causes the IO device to fail.
Symbol used:
AS 410 Redundancy Station and ET 200SP HA with one interface module each.
Once with a connection via an open ring structure (left) and once with a connection
via a switch (right).
Figure 2-3

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 10
2.1.4 Redundant PROFINET configuration R1
A redundant PROFINET configuration R1 refers to the connection of an IO device

via two interface modules, whereby each one of them establishes one application
relationship with one IO controller in the H system. The advantage of having
a redundant PROFINET configuration R1 is that the IO device uses two interface
modules to communicate over two separate PROFINET networks (subnets).
In case of an interruption in the communication connection, an interface module
failure or a subnet failure, all data and diagnostic functions are retained in the
H system. Communication connections are switched over without interruption.
You can find further information on redundant PROFINET configuration R1 in
Chapter 5.5.6.
Symbol used:
AS 410 Redundancy Station and ET 200SP HA with two interface modules.
Figure 2-4
Note The redundant PROFINET configuration R1 is also referred to as R1 modular

system redundancy.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 11
2.2 Configuration in Run – CiR

Configuration in Run (CiR) is a function that enables the system and configuration
to be changed during operation. This includes the addition and modification of
PROFINET devices, modules or parameters.
CiR allows these changes to performed in the hardware configuration and then
loaded in the CPU without stopping the CPU. This function is available to varying
degrees for both standard automation systems and H systems. The replacement of
hardware is possible without CiR.
For further information on CiR, refer to Chapter 5.1.
Symbol used:
2.3 High-precision time stamping

Accurate time stamping is a concept used for providing incoming events
(e.g. signal changes in a distributed I/O) with a very precise time stamp
(accuracy up to 1 ms). The time synchronization of the nodes is a basic
prerequisite for time stamping.
The abbreviation of the term: Sequence of Events – SoE is used as a symbol.
Symbol used:
High-precision time stamping finds its application, for instance, in the event of
a message overload in the system. If a large number of messages is generated
within one second, it is only possible to identify the first message and therefore
also its cause by means of the time stamp.
Note When using the high-precision time stamp (SoE) in R1 networks, the subnets
have to use different IP address ranges.
Note For information about the configuration guidelines for high-precision time
stamping refer to the FAQ:
"Which quantity frameworks and configuration guidelines apply for high-precision
time stamping with an accuracy of 1 ms when using the ET 200SP HA and
PROFINET?"

Use of ET 200SP HA"

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 12
2.4 PA ready
For unlimited use in process automation, IO devices must support at least the
following functionalities:
 System redundancy S2
 Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)
 Configuration in RUN (CiR)
Siemens uses the PA ready symbol to identify these IO devices, which meet the
requirements of process automation with regard to availability and changes during
operation.
Symbol used:
Therefore, Siemens provides comparable requirements for PROFINET IO devices
in process automation – e.g. PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI).
The PI subdivides IO devices into Conformance Classes (CC) depending on
their range of functions: CC-A, CC-B and CC-C. There is also the CC-B (PA),
an extension of the CC-B, which applies in particular to process automation.
It contains the system redundancy requirement and optionally also MRP and CiR.
Less stringent requirements for PA ready apply if IO devices are connected to
the end of a line or in a star topology:
Modular terminals (e.g. ET 200SP HA)

 Configuration in RUN (CiR)
Compact terminals (e.g. SIMOCODE)

The AS 410 automation system provides the CPU 410-5H und CPU 410E
controllers, which are specifically designed for process automation. These are
the only controllers that support all PROFINET functions (S1, S2, R1, CiR and
SoE) and are therefore required for PROFINET in the PCS 7 V9.0 environment
and form a basis for future developments.
PROFINET devices can be connected to the AS 410 via single PROFINET
configuration S1, system redundancy S2 or redundant PROFINET configuration
R1. The AS 410 also supports the "Configuration in Run (CiR)" and "High-precision
time stamping (SoE)" functions.
Two versions of the CPU are available for the AS 410:
 CPU 410-5H – scalable performance for all applications
 CPU 410E – for applications with few process objects
An AS 410 with CPU 410-5H or CPU 410E can be configured as a standard high-
availability or safety-oriented automation system, depending on your requirements.
Technically speaking, the CPU 410E program and system behave like those of

3.3 Compact Field Unit – CFU PA

The Compact Field Unit (CFU) is a field distributor for the process-oriented,
distributed connection of digital I/O signals and PROFIBUS PA field devices to
the PROFINET fieldbus.
It allows for resolute decentralization and thus leads to a reduction in the number
of classic control cabinets, a significant reduction in the number of cables and
terminals, and savings in planning and documentation costs. Furthermore, the
CFU PA facilitates engineering and commissioning thanks to plug-and-produce.
For instance, PROFIBUS PA field devices are addressed automatically and can
then be detected (system-assisted) using standardized PROFIBUS PA profiles
and integrated into the process control system.

3.4 Recommended SCALANCE switches

Selected SCALANCE switches are recommended for use in the process industry.
The reason for this recommendation is that in the future they will support all
PA ready functions. At the time of publication of this document, a firmware update
is being developed for these switches, which will expand the functions and add
system redundancy S2 and Configuration in Run (CiR). This means that
the recommended switches can already be planned, offered and used, thus
ensuring investment protection.
Recommended switches include:
 XF204-2BA
 XC-200
 XP-200

3.5 Service Bridge

The Service Bridge is a specially configured switch that allows dedicated
temporary access from the plant bus to the fieldbus for extended commissioning
and diagnostic purposes, while ensuring the logical separation between the
fieldbuses. The service bridge is based on SCALANCE XC-200 series switches
(from FW V3), which are configured in a special manner. For security reasons it is
recommended to implement a firewall, e. g. in the form of a SCALANCE S between
plant bus and Service Bridge.

Benefits
 Centralized access to the PROFINET networks with a secure separation of
the networks
 Manual assignment of name and IP address
 Use of the scan and online features of the STEP 7 Topology Editor
 Use of commissioning tools (e.g. PRONETA)
 Extended network diagnostics (e.g. SINEMA server via separate network)
 Access to the web server of PROFINET devices
 Installation of firmware updates
Note The use of the Service Bridge is optional and not a prerequisite for using
PROFINET.

3.6 Y switch (XF204-2BA DNA)

The SCALANCE XF204-2BA DNA, also called Y switch, enables S2 devices to
be connected to R1 networks. The network separation of both R1 networks is
maintained.
Figure 3-6
Benefits
 Integration of S2 devices in R1 networks
 Suitability for ATEX Zone 2
 No configuration necessary
 Transparent, i.e., no additional limitations on quantity structures,
etc. by Y switch
Communication
The Y switch has two slots for one BusAdapter each. By default, the rear ports of
the BusAdapter form the primary interface and the front ports form the secondary
interface. The primary interface consists of two ports that are isolated from
a network point of view, which connect to R1 networks. The secondary interface
allows the connection of S2-capable devices with the optional use of media
redundancy (MRP).

Note The functionality of the Y switch must not be confused with that of the Y link
(PROFIBUS DP). Only S2-capable devices can be operated through the

Y switch.
Note It is recommended to use the standard configuration for the ports of the R1 and
S2 interfaces. Otherwise, resetting to factory settings could cause undesired
reactions.
Note When the Y switch is used, the subnets of the R1 network must be physically
separated from each other. Furthermore, both subnets of the R1 network and
the secondary S2 network must use the same IP address range.
Note You can find information about the behavior of switches (S1 devices) on the H
System in chapter 5.5.5.

3.7 IE/PB LINK PN IO

The IE/PB LINK PN IO is a gateway between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS.
It enables seamless integration of PROFIBUS devices in the PROFINET fieldbus.
The IE/PB LINK PN IO acts as a proxy: i.e. from the viewpoint of the IO controller,
the integrated DP slaves are handled like IO devices with Ethernet interface.
Figure 3-8
Benefits
 Integration of a subordinate PROFIBUS network and access to all connected
PROFIBUS nodes
 Cross-network programming device communication using S7 routing
 Use as router for data records for the parameterization of field devices via
SIMATIC PDM by means of data record routing.
Communication
The IE/PB LINK PN IO has an internal PROFINET interface with integrated 2-port
switch and a slot for the optional use of a BusAdapter. If a BusAdapter is inserted,
the integrated PROFINET interface is automatically deactivated and the
BusAdapter takes over the communication. BusAdapters enable electrical
connection via Industrial Ethernet or optical connection via fiber-optic cable. Both
versions have an integrated 2-port switch.
The IE/PB LINK PN IO is connected via single PROFINET configuration S1.
Connection with media redundancy (MRP) is supported.
Note You can find further device-specific notes for use in Chapter 5.6.4.

4 Blueprints – Recommended PROFINET network configurations
4 Blueprints – Recommended PROFINET

network configurations
4.1 Introduction
Blueprints – background
PROFINET recognizes line, ring, tree and star topologies as well as multi-controller
networks and thus offers countless possibilities to network the devices of a system.
By performing a one-to-one transformation of existing systems based on
PROFIBUS DP into PROFINET you will not exploit the advantages of PROFINET,
neither functionally nor in terms of costs.
In order to reduce planning effort and to eliminate possible sources of error,
provided network configurations are tested with Blueprints. These are tailored
to typical system configurations of process automation and are recommended
as prepared solution approaches or standard blocks for planning PROFINET
networks.
The following figure shows how blueprints are used as adaptable templates
for planning plant sections.
Figure 4-1
Advantages for users

 Recommended and tested PROFINET network configurations
 Standard blocks for easy planning of the PROFINET network
 Scalable from Entry to High-end level
 Directly recognizable availability

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 29
Approach
The PROFINET Blueprints show developed standard solutions for the connection
of PROFINET devices to an automation system. In order to make these standard
blocks optimally available for planning, they are structured according to the
automation system extension and the type of system connection. Chapter 4.2
includes an overview of the blueprint configuration.
Since each system places individual requirements on availability and
segmentation, and these are not always covered by a single blueprint, it is possible
to combine the network structures shown in the blueprints. Chapter 4.6 contains an
example of a system based on blueprints.
The following questions help you choose a suitable blueprint:
 What are your requirements for availability?
 Standard or high-availability automation system?
 How many devices are to be integrated?
 Is a physical or logical segmentation necessary?

4.3 Blueprints – standard automation system

The main distinguishing feature of PROFINET network configurations in a standard
automation system is the number of devices. The blueprints are designed in such
a way that only one PROFINET interface of the CPU is used. This way, the
topologies can also be configured with the second interface of the CPU, whereby
the same quantity structures can be implemented in parallel.
All devices that support single PROFINET configuration S1 can be used in the
following configurations. If using in the MRP ring, all nodes of the ring must also
support MRP. The distributed ET 200SP HA I/O devices are used as examples
in the blueprints.
4.3.1 Entry
Requirements for the fieldbus

 Up to 50 devices
 Avoid single point of failure in the network
 Avoid additional hardware for the network infrastructure
 No segmentation prescribed
Network topology
Figure 4-3

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 32
Explanation
The cheapest and simplest variant among the Blueprints consists of one CPU
with up to 49 devices. The maximum number of devices is limited by the MRP ring,
which may contain a maximum of 50 nodes. No additional infrastructure
components, such as switches, are required are required if using the 2-port
switches integrated in the nodes. In the topology shown above, an optional
switch is also provided as an access point for the integration of the Service Bridge,
as otherwise no free ports are available.
Benefits
 No additional hardware required (without Service Bridge access)
 No single point of failure in the network
 Optional integration of the Service Bridge (with additional switch)

Figure 4-4

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 33
Explanation
This blueprint serves as a template for standard automation systems with 50 to
100 devices. The number of devices is achieved by having two MRP rings with
logical segmentation, whereby each ring is connected to the ports of the same
CPU interface via a switch. The MRP limit of 50 nodes per ring applies.
It is recommended to install the first switches with the CPU in the control cabinet.
This ensures protection of this route and a reduction of error probability at this
single point of failure.
One of the unassigned ports in the switches can be used as access for the
Service Bridge.
Benefits
 Logical segmentation into two networks
 Access for Service Bridge
4.3.3 High-end

 100 to 250 devices

Avoid single point of failure in the network

 Logical segmentation
Network topology
Figure 4-5

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 34
Explanation
This blueprint serves as a template for standard automation systems with more
than 100 devices. An MRP ring is constructed as a backbone consisting of a CPU
and a series of switches. The devices are connected in separate logical segments
starting from the switches in the backbone.
With further switches connected in star configuration, the installation of MRP rings
is intended for the connection of devices. Alternatively, it is also possible to connect
devices in star configuration.
In this topology, MRP rings limit the quantity structure because they support
a maximum of 50 nodes. Even the PROFINET interface of the CPU limits the
quantity structure, as it supports a maximum of 250 devices.
Benefits
 Logical segmentation into "n" networks
4.4 Blueprints – H system with system redundancy S2

The following PROFINET network configurations consist of a high-availability
automation system and up to 250 devices that are connected to a PROFINET
interface of the CPU 410-5H. If both interfaces are used, it can achieve quantity
structures of up to 500 devices.
The devices used must support connection via system redundancy S2. If you want
to integrate a device that only supports the single PROFINET configuration S1, you
have to keep in mind that there are some limitations – see Chapter 5.5.5. The
distributed ET 200SP HA I/O devices are used as examples in the blueprints.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 35
4.4.1 Entry

Network topology
Figure 4-6
Explanation
The cheapest and simplest variant of the blueprints for a high-availability
automation system is one H system and up to 250 PROFINET devices, which
are integrated in a line between the two controllers. This variant of the connection
is also called an open ring structure.
Connecting the open ports to an MRP ring would not provide any advantages
in this case, but rather limit the number of devices to 48 (50 - 2 IO controllers)
instead of 250 devices and delay the switchover time in case of error due to
a reconfiguration of the MRP ring. The MRP ring also leads to an increased
configuration effort (potential sources of error) because the MRP domain would
have to be configured and the watchdog time adjusted.
The CPU has an unassigned port at the beginning and at the end of the line to
provide access for the Service Bridge. This blueprint does not require additional
components for the network structure design, however no logical segmentation
is intended.
Benefits
 No additional hardware required

Explanation
When compared to the entry variant, this blueprint assigns switches for the logical

As opposed to the high-end variant, this blueprint leads to single point of failures
due to the switches that connect the segments to the open ring.

4.5 Blueprints – H system with redundant PROFINET

configuration R1
The following PROFINET network configurations consist of a high-availability
automation system with two separate networks. This allows up to 64 R1 devices
to be connected to each interface, or up to 250 devices when combined with the
connection of devices via system redundancy S2.
To operate the devices directly on the two networks, they have to support
redundant PROFINET configuration R1. Devices with system redundancy S2 can
be integrated into the R1 network by means of a Y switch. In order to use the
Service Bridge, an access port is required in both subnets of the R1 network. The
distributed ET 200SP HA I/O devices are used as examples in the blueprints.
4.5.1 Standard

 Highest possible availability when connecting the distributed I/O devices
Network topology
The following section shows two variants for this blueprint. The first variant
(Figure 4-9) for the exclusive use of R1 devices, and the second variant
(Figure 4-10) for the additional integration of devices with system redundancy S2
via a Y switch (SCALANCE XF204-2BA DNA).
Figure 4-9

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 39
Figure 4-10
Explanation
This Blueprint shows the standard variant for connecting R1 devices to a high-
availability automation system.
From the CPUs of the H system onwards, the R1 devices are connected via two
separate line structures. In order to increase availability, we recommend reverse
cabling (as shown in the blueprint). With reverse cabling, all devices remain
available if a device is removed. It is technically possible to have a configuration
with two MRP rings instead of the lines, but this is not provided in this blueprint
because it would require increased engineering effort (possible sources of error),
lead to a slower switching time and restrict the number of devices in the ring to 50.
The second variant is designed with a Y switch behind two XF204-2BA switches,
which enables connection of devices that only support system redundancy S2. The
unused ports of the CPU can be used for the Service Bridge to access both
subnets of the R1 network.
Benefits
 No additional hardware required (in a purely R1 network)
 No single point of failure (except Y switch)
 Access points for Service Bridge

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 40
4.5.2 High-end

 Highest possible availability when connecting the distributed I/O devices
Network topology
Figure 4-11
Explanation
This Blueprint shows a variant for integrating R1 devices into a high-availability
automation system with simultaneous logical segmentation in "n" networks.
A line consisting of switches is established for each CPU. These linearly arranged
switches act as a backbone for the logical segmentation of the system. It is
possible to install two MRP rings as a backbone (dashed line), but this would bring
more disadvantages than advantages. On the one hand, the reconfiguration of
the MRP ring in case of error is slower than the switching time of the H system.
On the other hand, the MRP ring would lead to increased configuration effort since
the MRP domain would have to be configured and the watchdog time adjusted.
The network downstream from the switches is divided into three segments.
A segment consisting of just R1 capable devices is connected to the switches of
the backbone MRP ring via two simple lines. The two other segments show the
possibility of integrating S2-capable devices with a Y switch into the R1 network.
In this case, MRP rings are installed downstream from the Y switch to allow the S2
devices to be connected. The backbone MRP rings have ports in the switches that
enable the Service Bridge to access both subnets of the R1 network.
Benefits
 No single point of failure (except Y switch)
 Access points for Service Bridge

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 41
4.6 Example configuration

PROFINET allows several automation systems to be operated in a shared network.
It allows I/O devices to be assigned flexibly and reduces wiring effort when the I/O
devices are removed.
The following system configuration shows a multi-controller installation with
a standard system and an H system, in which devices are integrated via single
PROFINET configuration S1, system redundancy S2 and redundant PROFINET
configuration R1. Both automation systems have local peripherals, which are built
in separate PROFINET subnets for spatial and safety reasons.
Furthermore, a shared PROFINET subnet is provided for a remote field level by
assigning the IO devices to the respective automation systems.
You can find further example configurations without additional explanation in
Chapter 7.2.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 43
Explanation
(1) The local PROFINET subnet of the AS 410 Single Station is built according
to the blueprint in Chapter 4.3.2. The first logical segment is an MRP ring
consisting of distributed I/O devices and an IE/PB link with subordinate
PROFIBUS DP network.
The second logical segment is used for the connection of a Motion Control
Cabinet (MCC). The path between the switch near the CPU and switch in the
MCC area is done optically through fiber-optic cables. In this case, it is
optionally possible to build an MRP ring. The SINAMICS frequency converters
and SIMOCODE motor management systems in the MCC area are connected
to the switch in star configuration. Thanks to this point-to-point connection, it
is possible to switch off individual devices for maintenance purposes without
affecting the rest.
(2) The local PROFINET subnet of the H system corresponds to the blueprint
in Chapter 4.5.1 and is used for connecting distributed I/O devices of type
ET 200SP HA via redundant PROFINET configuration R1.
(3) The communication between the central contact chamber and the field is
provided by two mutually separated optical MRP rings. The AS410 single
station communicates with a CPU of the H system over an MRP ring. The
second MRP ring is only used by the second CPU of the H system. This
means that two separate networks are available for the connection of R1
devices in the field.
(4) In practice, the transition from the two separate R1 subnets to a shared subnet
is achieved with a Y switch (XF204-2BA DNA). Devices located downstream

from the Y switch can be connected to the AS 410 single station using single
PROFINET configuration S1 or to the AS 410 redundancy station by means of
system redundancy S2.
(5) Connection of a distributed I/O device of type ET 200SP HA via redundant
PROFINET configuration R1.
(6) A large MRP ring made up of switches is built in the field to network all the
system sections.
(7) Point-to-point connection of Compact Field Units (CFU) for the integration
of PROFIBUS PA devices and digital sensors/actuators.
(8) A further system section consisting of CFUs and two switches is constructed
as an MRP ring and connected to the main MRP ring in the field via a line.

5.1 Configuration in Run – CiR/H-CiR
Configuration in Run (CiR) is a function that enables the system and configuration
(e.g. the addition or modification of hardware) to be changed during operation
without causing a plant standstill. This function is available to varying degrees
for both standard automation systems and H systems. The replacement of
hardware is possible without CiR.
Configuration in Run in a standard automation system (CiR)

When CiR is used in a standard automation system, the process execution of the
loading process is paused for a brief time interval (CiR synchronization time).
The process inputs and outputs retain their last value during this time. When
using the CPU 410-5H, the maximum CiR synchronization time is 60 ms.
Configuration in Run in a high-availability automation system (H-CiR)

Besides the modifications that are possible in a standard automation system, it
is also possible to modify some CPU parameters in a high-availability automation
system.
Sequence of an H-CiR process:
 Modify the hardware configuration offline

 When loading:
– Stop standby CPU
– Upload new hardware configuration to the standby CPU.
– Switch over to the CPU with modified configuration
– Update the second CPU
 The system works redundantly again
Note The H-CiR loading process must run with the H-CiR Wizard.

5.1.1 CiR/H-CiR options
The changes that are possible as a CiR/H-CiR operation depend on whether the
(changed) IO device has CiR functionality. Several changes can be made within
a CiR/H-CiR process. It is recommended to always perform changes
simultaneously on one string.
The following table gives an overview:

Remove IO device  

Note Unilaterally configured devices (S1) on the H system lose connection during the
H-CiR process. This behavior is independent of whether or not the devices are
CiR-capable
Furthermore, it is not recommended to operate S1 devices unilaterally on the
H system. Exceptions are switches in an R1 network, which can only be
connected unilaterally.
Besides the changes that are possible as a CiR operation on the standard
automation system, it is also possible to add and remove IO controllers and
IO systems in H systems as an H-CiR operation.
Note For further information on the various possibilities of CiR, such as the
changeable CPU parameters in H-CiR, refer to the manual:
Note It is recommended that the "CiR capability" of the system is checked before each
CiR operation or Save and Compile. This way, you can still reject the changes.
Note Before making any changes in the HW Config, it is recommended to archive the
project. This allows you to restore the old project even if the CiR/H-CiR loading
capability is lost after saving.

5.1.2 Notes on CiR/H-CiR
Representation in HW Config
CiR-capable IO devices are color-coded in the HW ConFigure
Figure 5-1
Adding or removing IO devices

No CiR objects are required in PROFINET for adding IO devices as a CiR/H-CiR
operation.
Whether an IO device can be added or removed is independent of whether the

device itself supports CiR or not. It should be noted that the neighboring devices
must support CiR if the interface parameterization is to be adjusted during
a CiR/H-CiR operation.
Interface parameter assignment includes the enabling or disabling of ports as well
as the modification of the configured topology. If one of these steps is necessary
for addition or removal, the neighboring devices or the neighboring device at
the end of a line must support CiR as a prerequisite.
Figure 5-2
Note For further information on Configuration in Run with configured topology, refer to
the FAQ:
" What should you watch out for with configured topology and the use of non-
CiR-compatible IO devices?"

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 47
5 Guide
Note The reassignment of parameters to the internal PN interface of the CPU 410-5H
is only possible as an H-CiR operation in H systems.
Note In the case of switches in an R1 network structure as well as in those that

currently can only be connected unilaterally to H systems, it is also possible to
assign interface parameters as an H-CiR operation without the CiR capability
of the switch.
At the time of publication of this document, a firmware update is being developed
for the recommended switches, which will expand the functions and add system
redundancy S2 and Configuration in Run (CiR).
Address ranges in Configuration in Run (CiR)

In the case of CiR/H-CiR with PROFINET, no CiR objects are needed and thus
no address spaces have to be reserved.
If IO devices or submodules are to be added and removed during a CiR/H-CiR
operation, care must be taken so that logical addresses and device numbers are
not used more than once during a CiR/H-CiR operation. For example, when
removing a device with EB245 (input byte), no other device with EB245 may be
added in the same step. This can be prevented by first adding the new IO device
or submodule in the configuration and then deleting the IO device or submodule
you wish to remove.
Note If multiHART is not used, you still have to reserve the address spaces for the
corresponding HART secondary variables.
Update time in Configuration in Run (CiR)

To set the update time of IO devices, HW Config has three modes: "automatic",
"fixed update time" and "fixed factor". When using Configuration in Run, it is
recommended to set the update time of all non CiR-capable devices to a fixed
value.
The reason is that during automatic configuration, HW Config configures the
update time based on the devices present in the IO system. The addition or
removal of IO devices can lead to a change in the update times (of the factor),
which is only possible as interface configuration in form of a CiR/H-CiR operation
with CiR-compatible devices.
In this case, it is possible to restore CiR consistency by undoing changes to the
update time of the non-CiR-capable devices concerned.
CAUTION If a CiR operation is performed on CiR-capable IO devices, the update

time following this CiR operation must be at least 1 ms.
Neighborhood detection - LLDP mode

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a manufacturer-independent protocol
used for the exchange of information between neighboring devices. It serves for
various tasks, including the recognition of the network topology.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 48
5 Guide
When using Configuration in Run, it is important to draw a line between two

different standards: LLDP mode V2.2 and V2.3.
When using CiR, it is recommended to force the V2.2 LLDP mode. This setting
is located in the properties of the CPU's PROFINET interface – see Figure 5-3.
CAUTION When using CiR, it is recommended to force the V2.2 LLDP mode.
Figure 5-3
The reason is that the CPU 410-5H and newer IO devices support both modes
and HW Config automatically determines the mode from the configured devices by
default. The version V2.3 is used if all devices support it. Otherwise, V2.2 is used
if one of the devices does not support the newer version. For Configuration in Run,
this is especially important if only devices with V2.3 support are to be configured.
In such case, even the CPU uses version V2.3. If you had to add a device that only
supports LLDP mode V2.2, the CPU would change the LLDP mode to V2.2 and the
system would lose its CiR capability. The same applies to a scenario in which all
IO devices with V2.2 are removed from a mixed IO system.
The LLDP mode defined via HW Config can be displayed using the menu
command "PROFINET IO LLDP mode...", accessible from the shortcut menu of
the PROFINET IO system.

S1 devices on the H System

It is not recommended to operate S1 devices with cyclic IO data on an H system.
The reason is that S1 devices can only establish one application relationship with
a CPU of the H system. If the CPU stops, the connection to the device is
interrupted and the H system is not supplied with current data any longer.
In Configuration in Run, it means that unilaterally configured devices (S1) on the
H system support only limited changes during operation (H-CiR), regardless of
whether they are CiR-capable or not.

Note Switches in an R1 network structure and switches, which can currently only
be integrated as S1 devices, behave as follows in the H-CiR process:
 The switching functionality is retained, i.e. the connection to IO devices

behind the switches remains available without restriction.
 This causes a failure and rebuilding of the application relationship between
the switch and the CPU. No diagnostic data is available in the H system
when the assigned CPU is stopped.
 The interface parameters can be changed.
ET 200SP HA
When connecting the ET 200SP HA via single PROFINET configuration S1 or
system redundancy S2, Configuration in Run is supported with up to 1000 byte
user data. If connected as an R1 device, the entire quantity structure of 1440 bytes
is available.

5.2 Topology configuration – Replace device without

exchangeable medium
Requirement
The requirement that the device replacement must be able to be carried out by
an electrician in case of error, means that automatic initialization is required for
PROFINET devices. Without automatic initialization, the initialization would have
to be done with the Engineering Station/programming device (ES/PG) if a device
is replaced.
Here are two possibilities for automatic device initiation:
 Topology configuration
 Use of the PROFINET BusAdapter or other storage media (e.g. C-plug),
which save the device name locally
Topology configuration is recommended for SIMATIC PCS 7
Benefits of Topology configuration

 Automatic commissioning
 Replace device without exchangeable medium
 Topology comparison between target and actual topology to ensure correct
cabling
 Source data for SINETPLAN
5.2.1 Possibilities for Topology configuration
Automatic commissioning
Thanks to automatic commissioning, the devices do not have to be initialized
individually. Rather, the IO controller undertakes the initialization for the entire
IO system.
The IP address and device names are assigned without requiring a removable
medium (e.g. Micro Memory Card) with a saved device name or a programming
device (PG). The topology of the IO system, which is configured offline and then
loaded into the IO controller, forms the basis for automatic commissioning.
By comparing the loaded target topology and the actual topology determined via
LLDP, the IO controller can identify the IO devices without names and assign the
configured names and IP addresses accordingly. This reduces time requirements
and also the number of possible sources of error during commissioning.
Note As a prerequisite for automatic commissioning, the IO controller and the IO

devices must support the PROFINET functionality "Replace device without
exchangeable medium".
Note The port interconnection of the real system must match the topology plan.
An incorrect name could be assigned if errors occur.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 52
5 Guide
CAUTION As a prerequisite for automatic commissioning, the devices and

BusAdapter must be reset to factory settings and have no name assigned.
Replace device without exchangeable medium

If the topology is configured and the function "Replace device without
exchangeable medium" is enabled in HW Config, it is possible to perform
automatic commissioning and replace a device without storage medium. For device
replacement, it is sufficient to replace the defective hardware with a replacement
device of the same type, which has been reset to factory settings. When this is
done, the device receives its name and IP address automatically by the IO
controller, with no intervention by the user.
The advantage of device replacement based on Topology configuration is that it
also covers the defect of the explicit storage media or BusAdapters on which the
device name is stored.
CAUTION Prerequisite: in order to replace the device without a removable medium,

the replacement device and BusAdapter must be first reset to factory
settings and have no name assigned. This must be taken into account
during stockkeeping.
Scanning the actual topology

If the automatic commissioning function is not to be used (e.g. because not all
devices are yet present during commissioning), it is possible to scan the existing
actual topology and save it as the target topology after successful commissioning.
Scanning and saving the actual topology is performed in the Topology Editor via
the tab "Offline/Online comparison". To do this, the ES must be connected to
the PN network. This connection can be established via the Service Bridge
(see Chapter 3.5).
It is then possible to exploit the advantages of device replacement without
a swappable medium by reloading the station (STOP may be required).

Topology comparison between target and actual topology

The Topology Editor makes it possible to compare the expected target topology
with the actual topology determined online. The online view of the "Graphic view"
tab is shown in Figure 5-5 as an example. Their accessibility or status is indicated
by color highlighting.

Source data for SINETPLAN

If the topology is configured in HW Config, it can be used as the basis for the
network planning software SINETPLAN (Siemens Network Planner) without the
need for topology configuration in SINETPLAN. The following data is imported
from SINETPLAN:
 Planned IO devices
 Network topology
 Real-time data flows between the devices

5.2.2 Notes on Topology configuration
Creating the topology

HW Config provides three options for Topology configuration:
 Planning with the port properties in HW Config
 Tabular interconnection with the Topology Editor
 Graphical interconnection with the Topology Editor (recommended)
Note Switches must be configured as IO devices for Topology configuration.
Note Topology configuration is only possible within a project, i.e. the stations on a
shared PROFINET network must be within the same project.
Use of the Service Bridge

When the Service Bridge is used, the scan feature of the topology and the
target/actual comparison can be run from the ES, which is located in the system
bus.
In addition to the PROFINET devices, the scan also detects the nodes on the
system bus and the Service Bridge. The list of existing devices is thus larger than
the list of planned devices. Unknown devices are displayed in color on an orange
background.
Nevertheless it is still possible to apply the actual topology scanned to the target
topology.
Note The corresponding PROFINET segments must be enabled on the Service

Bridge.
R1 network
In the case of an R1 network structure, it must be noted that the graphic view refers
to two separate subnets when scanning the topology or during the target/actual
comparison.
When the Service Bridge is used, access to both subnets can be enabled
simultaneously, so that the scan finds all devices.
If the ES is connected directly to the PROFINET network without using the Service
Bridge, the scan must be performed in both subnets, otherwise only the devices
in the corresponding segment are found. Devices behind a Y switch are visible
in both scans. Devices on the system bus are not found. If the ES is connected
downstream from the Y switch, all devices in the PROFINET network are found
during the scan.

5.3 Operational reliability

5.3.1 General measures
To increase the operational reliability of the PROFINET networks in PCS 7

systems, the following measures are recommended:
General information
 Protect the infrastructure against unauthorized access (e.g. lock the control
cabinet/rooms)
 Measure/test the cable before connecting it (wiring, shield connection)
 Do not lay the cables next to each other (isolate the outgoing and return lines
spatially)
 Topology configuration so that devices receive their configuration automatically
after a factory reset
 If possible, protect the internal interfaces of the CPU 410-5H from external
connections. This is done by activating the "Enable additional protection for
the interface" function in the properties of the interface of the CPU.
CAUTION Devices with PROFIsafe communication must be protected against

unauthorized access, i.e. only within a cell with access protection.
Switches
 Disable SET/RESET switch
 Use the HTTPS protocol for the access to the Web Based Management
(deactivate HTTP access)
 Change the default password for the Web/CLI access to the switches
 Use of the "Loop Detection" function
All PN devices
 Disable unused ports and lock with Hardlock if necessary
Commissioning
 Before physically connecting the ring, it must be already configured.
Note You can find further measures for increasing operational reliability in the manual:

5.3.2 Loop detection
Loop detection is a function of the SCALANCE switches, which serves for detecting
loops in the network and limiting their effects. A loop is an error in the network
configuration that occurs when a network cable connects two ports on the same
switch, or when several connections that are not managed by a protocol
(e.g. MRP) exist between two switches.
Broadcast packets sent through loops can lead to a broadcast storm within
seconds, thus overloading the network.
Loop detection allows these negative effects of a loop to be limited to a specific
area in the network. This function can be configured in the SCALANCE switches,
e.g. via Web Based Management (WBM).
Functionality and configuration

The loop detection function detects existing loops in the network by sending
special test frames. If the frames sent by a switch return to the same switch,
a loop exists.
Loop detection works with three different port modes, which are configured in
the WBM of SCALANCE switches:
 Sender – sends loop detection (LD) frames
 Forwarder – (default setting) forwards the LD frames
 Blocked – stops forwarding LD frames

Figure 5-6

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 58
5 Guide
This allows two types of loops to be detected and treated with different responses
(disable port/no response):
 Local Loop – LD frame is detected at a different port
 Remote Loop – LD frame is detected on the same port
It is recommended to block the respective ports in response to a loop detection.
Note, however, that the port must be enabled again via the WBM. An automatic
reactivation of the port is not implemented.
Figure 5-7
Note Loop detection cannot be activated with the ring ports of a switch.
As a rule of thumb, the switches in the network (from "bottom to top") should use
increasingly larger thresholds for the number of detected LD frames. With this
control, the local switches react first and switch off the specific port before the
higher level switch disconnects the entire cell.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 59
5 Guide
Examples using the blueprints

In general, it is recommended to configure the Service Bridge as a loop detection
sender. This way, the effects of loops can be mutually protected at the various
network levels.
The blueprints in the following section present various application scenarios for
loop detection.
1. High-end blueprint of a standard automation system

In this blueprint, the loops in the secondary ring pose a danger, which could
spread throughout the system via the backbone. Rings with loops are detected
and isolated through active loop detection at the branches.
Figure 5-8

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 60
5 Guide
2. High-end blueprint of an H system with system redundancy S2

In this blueprint, loops in the linked rings pose a danger, which could spread
throughout the system via the backbone line. Rings with loops are detected and
isolated through active loop detection in the coupling paths.
Figure 5-9

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 61
5 Guide
3. Blueprints of an H system with a redundant PROFINET configuration R1

In this blueprint, a danger exists due to loops in subordinate S2 segments/rings,
which could spread throughout the system. Segments/rings with loops are detected
and isolated through active loop detection in the coupling paths.
Figure 5-10
5.4 Media redundancy with MRP

The Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) enables the connection of IO devices
based on ring topologies. The use of ring topologies with MRP is independent
of the system redundancy (S1, S2 or R1).
In order to set up an MRP ring, all ring nodes (e.g. IO controllers) must support
MRP, but please note that MRP only allows a maximum of 50 nodes per ring.
MRP defines 3 roles: MRP Manager, MRP Client, and MRP Manager Auto. In an
MRP ring, there may be only one MRP Manager. The remaining nodes must be
configured as MRP Clients. If the role MRP Manager Auto is configured several
times in a ring, an MRP Manager Auto takes over the role of MRP Manager and
the rest that of MRP Clients.
The MRP Manager is responsible for constantly checking the ring connection.
If the ring is functional, the MRP Manager blocks a port, opens the ring connection
and provides a loop-free communication. If the transmission path fails, the MRP
Manager activates the blocked port and provides another communication path.
Subsequently, the ring nodes must reconfigure their communication paths.
The maximum reconfiguration time is 200 ms.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 62
5 Guide
Figure 5-11
Due to the maximum reconfiguration time of 200 ms, the watchdog time must be
set to at least 200 ms for all nodes in the ring and devices downstream from the
ring. Otherwise, the CPU may detect the failure of IO devices by mistake during
reconfiguration.
Note It is recommended to configure only one participant as MRP Manager or MRP

Manager Auto in the ring.
CAUTION The hardware configuration must be loaded before physically connecting

the ring. Otherwise, a loop could form, which would lead to undesirable
reactions in the network.
Diagnostic interrupts
When configuring an MRP ring, it is recommended to select the "Diagnostic
interrupts" check box in the MRP Manager's media redundancy settings.
The diagnostic interrupt option is a prerequisite, so that a message is generated
in the operator station when the ring is interrupted.
Figure 5-12

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 63
5 Guide
Furthermore, the option "OB 82 / IO Fault Task – call at communications interrupt"

option must be activated in the settings of the PROFINET interface of the CPU.
If the option is deactivated, only one diagnostic buffer entry is generated in the
CPU in case of diagnostic interrupts.
Figure 5-13
CAUTION If one of the above described options "Diagnostic interrupt" or "OB 82 / IO

Fault Task – call at communications interrupt" is deactivated, no message
is generated in the operator station when the MRP ring is interrupted.

5.5 Using blueprints

5.5.1 Multi-controller networks
PROFINET allows several IO controllers to operate in a shared network.

For PROFINET in SIMATIC PCS 7A, we recommend a maximum of four
automation systems per PROFINET segment.
The following figure shows an example configuration with two standard automation
systems. In addition to the possibility of setting up separate PROFINET networks
(see (1) and (2)), a shared PROFINET network is also set up for the field area
(see (3)). In this shared network, both IO controllers have access to their assigned
IO devices.
Figure 5-14
1 2
Note For complete Topology configuration of a multi-control network, all controllers

must be within the same project.
5.5.2 Segmentation
By segmenting the system, it is possible to increase system availability, reduce the

network load, and create a clearer assignment. When using the AS 410 automation
system and PROFINET, networks can be segmented physically or logically.
Physical segmentation
The AS 410 has two internal PROFINET interfaces, which enable you to set up
two physically separate segments. Up to 250 devices can be integrated per
interface/segment. It is not possible to use the CP 443-1 for more PROFINET
segments. If a system segmentation is required in more than two system sections,
it is recommended to also implement logical segmentation.
Logical segmentation
By using switches, it is possible to divide the system into any number of logical
segments. This division is possible irrespective of the system connection (S1, S2
or R1). It is recommended to arrange the switches responsible for the
segmentation close to the CPU.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 65
5 Guide
Figure 5-15
In the logical segmentation of the H system networks, it is possible to set up MRP

rings instead of lines for the connection of switches.
Disadvantages:
 In case of error, the reconfiguration process of the MRP ring is slower than the
switching time of the H system.
 The MRP ring leads to increased configuration effort since the MRP domain
would have to be configured and the watchdog time adjusted.
5.5.3 Update time
The update time is the time interval during which new data is sent cyclically to IO
devices/IO controllers. PROFINET offers the possibility to individually configure
the update time for each IO device.
To set the update time of IO devices, HW Config has three modes: "automatic",
"fixed update time" and "fixed factor".
When the default "automatic" setting is enabled, HW Config automatically
calculates an optimized, i.e., quickest possible update time.
This can be adjusted manually by selecting the "fixed update time" or "fixed factor"
mode.
When selecting the update time, the following factors should be considered:
 Process requirements
 Number of PROFINET IO devices
 Quantity of configured user data
In order to keep the network load as low as possible, it is also recommended
to select the update time for each IO device as follows:
 As short as necessary.
 As long as possible.
Note The update time of IO devices without cyclic IO data is automatically 128 ms
and usually does not need to be changed.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 66
5 Guide
Threshold monitoring time

The watchdog time is calculated from the product of "Update time" and "Number of
accepted update cycles with missing IO data". The IO device be identified as failed
if this time elapses with no IO data.
The watchdog time must be adjusted depending on the network architecture,
e.g. ring (see chapter 5.4) or network with a large line depth. The line depth is the
number of devices (switches/IO devices with integrated switches), through which a
frame has to pass on its way between the IO device and the IO controller.
At an update time of 2 ms and a watchdog time of 6 ms (default setting), the line
depth can include up to approx. 50 IO devices. A higher update time or
an adjustment to the watchdog time allows for greater line depth. When using
HW Config to perform automatic calculation of the update time, the line depth is
used in the calculation and the watchdog time does not have to be adjusted
manually.
5.5.4 Cyclic network load
The cyclic network load generated should be taken into consideration right from
the planning phase of the system. PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI)
recommends the following limit values for the network load of cyclic real-time
communication in the PROFINET Installation Guidelines:
 < 20 % – no handling required.
 20 to 50 % – a review of the planned network load is recommended.

 > 50 % – measures have to be taken to reduce the network load.
Note Download
"PROFINET Installation Guidelines"
http://www.profibus.com/nc/download/installation-guide/downloads/profinet-
installation-guide/display/
HW Config automatically calculates the cycle times for small PROFINET networks
if they are fully configured within a project. It is not necessary to check the network
load again.
If a shared network is used by several automation systems that are configured in
different subprojects or if there is a high Non Realtime Traffic (NRT), for instance,
due to webcams, the network load must be checked.
The network load calculation can be performed, for instance, with SINETPLAN
(Chapter 6.1.1).
Measures to reduce the network load

In principle, the update time of the IO devices should be checked first. It is
recommended to set an update time speed that reflects what is needed for the
process to complete.
If the network load is still too high after the update time has been increased,
the topology can be optimized, e.g. by segmenting the system.

5 Guide
5.5.5 S1 devices on the H System
It is not recommended to operate S1 devices with cyclic IO data on an H system.

The reason is that S1 devices can only establish one application relationship with
a CPU of the H system. If the CPU stops, the connection to the device is
interrupted and the H system is not supplied with current data any longer. The S1
devices are not available on both CPUs of the H system – even through MRP or
the Y switch.
Note Switches in an R1 network structure and switches, which can currently only
be integrated as S1 devices, behave as follows in the H-CiR process:
 The switching functionality is retained, i.e., the connection to IO devices
behind the switches remains available without restriction.
 This causes a failure of the application relationship between the switch and
the CPU, thus leading to a device failure and returns after a hot restart of
the CPU. No switch diagnostic data is available in the H system during the
failure.
 The interface parameters can be changed.

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 68
5 Guide
5.5.6 R1 network
Physical configuration
When establishing an R1 network structure, it is recommended to establish
physically separate networks for the two subnets. This has the advantage that
in the event of a network fault (e.g. due to a loop), the other network remains
available for communication. As for the cabling, we recommend reverse cabling,
as shown in the following figure. Reverse cabling ensures that all other nodes
remain available in the event of a failure or station replacement.
Figure 5-16
IP addresses
When configuring the IP addresses of R1 networks, the following notes must be
observed:
 In a purely R1 configuration without a Y switch and without embedded S2
devices, the two subnets can be in the same IP address ranges or in different
ones.
 In a mixed configuration (R1 and S2 devices), the two subnets must be in the
same IP address range.
 When using high-precision time stamps (SoE), the subnets must use different
IP address ranges.
CAUTION Device names and IP address must be unique within a network.

5.6.3 ET 200SP HA
Subrack module
The interface of the ET 200SP HA consists of the IM 155-6 PN HA interface
module together with the subrack module and the BusAdapter. The interface
serves for communication between the CPU and the connected ET 200SP HA
I/O modules via PROFINET.
Different subrack modules are required depending on the system connection –
this must be taken into account during the planning phase.
The following two variants exist:
 Subrack module for an IM 155-6 PN HA – for single PROFINET configuration
S1 or system redundancy S2
 Subrack module for two IM 155-6 PN HA - for redundant PROFINET
configuration R1
Configuration in Run
When connecting the ET 200SP HA via single PROFINET configuration S1 or
system redundancy S2, Configuration in Run is supported with up to 1000 byte
user data. If connected as an R1 device, the entire quantity structure of 1440 bytes
is available.
IO redundancy
When using the terminal blocks for IO redundancy (TB45), care must be taken so
that the L+ supply voltage terminals are separated from each other. The supply
voltage must be connected to both terminals.
Furthermore, only terminal blocks for individual I/O modules or only terminal blocks
for IO redundancy may be used within a potential group.
Note For further information about wiring rules, refer to the manual:
"SIMATIC ET 200SP HA ET 200SP HA Distributed I/O system"
5.6.4 IE/PB-LINK PN IO
The IE/PB link allows up to 64 PROFIBUS slaves to be connected. You have to

keep in mind that only compact slaves, such as drives are supported. It is not
possible to connect modular slaves, such as an ET 200M via the IE/PB link.
To integrate modular PROFIBUS slaves into the system, you can use the internal
interface of the CPU. Both S7 routing and data record routing are supported via
the IE/PB link. The PA ready criteria S2 system redundancy and Configuration
in Run (PROFINET and PROFIBUS-side) are currently not supported, but their
implementation is planned.
Note The addressing of DP or PA slaves downstream from the IE/PB link PN IO is not
possible.
Media redundancy – MRP

The PROFIBUS devices downstream from the IE/PB link are visible to the CPU as
PROFINET devices. Therefore, the watchdog time of the IE/PB link and that of all
PROFIBUS devices must be adjusted to over 200 ms when using MRP.

6 PROFINET tools for the system life cycle

In principle, no additional tools are required when using PROFINET. However,
different tools are available for PROFINET in all phases of the project life cycle as
an aid for special cases or support purposes. The following section presents the
relevant tools based on the typical lifecycle phase for their application. It is also
possible to use them in other phases.

6.1 Planning
6.1.1 SINETPLAN (Siemens Network Planner)
SINETPLAN (Siemens Network Planner) is a tool for calculating the network load,
which can already be implemented during the planning phase. SINETPLAN
enables predictive planning through a simple network load calculation. Critical
locations, where a network load check is recommended or necessary, are
highlighted in color depending on the data throughput.
It is necessary to calculate/check the network load, especially for complex
networks consisting of several projects and existing NRT (Non Realtime)
communication (for instance, from video systems). HW Config automatically
calculates the cycle times for networks if they are fully configured within a project.
There is no need to use additional tools for the network load calculation.

Note For the I/O test, it is imperative that the IO device does not communicate with
any IO controller.
6.3 Operation
6.3.1 SINEMA Server
SINEMA Server is a tool for 24/7 monitoring of Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET
networks during operation. SINEMA allows networks to be automatically exported,
documented, individually structured for each plant and visualized. Furthermore,
the SINEMA Server sends alerts and analyzes errors and changes in the network.
The use of SINEMA Server requires permanent access to the PROFINET fieldbus.
For security reasons it is therefore recommended not to run it directly on the
system bus, but rather to connect it via a separate Service Bridge.

6.4 Maintenance and diagnostics

6.4.1 Bus Analyzer (BANY)
The Bus Analyzer (BANY) product helps you analyze the Ethernet/PROFINET
network traffic. BANY consists of a combination of the BANY Scope software and
its BANY Agent hardware. The BANY Scope software is included with the
hardware.
Abbildung 6-4
The BANY Agent is integrated reaction-free in the network via the integrated TAP
(Test Access Point) or via an external TAP. In general, it is recommended to install
it directly after the CPU, so that the entire communication of this IO controller can
be detected at this point.
A TAP is a passive network component, which transmits all frames transparently in
a de-energized state. For the purpose of the analysis, TAP also reflects all network
traffic without packet loss or delays. This network traffic can be either analyzed
live with BANY Scope live or after it has been logged. BANY Scope enables you
to determine, show and evaluate all the important PROFINET parameters. BANY
Scope automatically interprets the bus traffic and generates, for instance, a live
list containing all nodes and diagrams with PROFINET KPIs (cycle time, jitter,
port load, etc.). It is also possible to use the data traffic to perform an analysis
with Wireshark (Chapter 6.4.2).
Functions
 PROFINET live list
 PROFINET KPIs (cycle time, jitter, port load, etc.)
 Online analysis of network quality
 Telegram/frame generator (e.g. stress tests)
 Online value tracking
 Online real-time analysis of frames
 Frame capture

Entry ID: 72887082, V2.2, 10/2017 77
Benefits
 Higher transparency for PROFINET communication
 No additional cabling for data communication analysis
 Network quality measurement and stress test as components of network
validation

"BANY Agent and BANY Scope"
6.4.2 Wireshark
Wireshark is a free program that serves for analyzing data traffic on a protocol
level. To perform an analysis, you must first log the data traffic in the network
with a TAP, such as Bus Analyzer Agent (Chapter 6.4.1). The combination of
BANY and Wireshark enables you, for instance, to perform an online analysis
of the frames.
Benefits
 Standard network analysis tool

 Analyze the data traffic on a protocol level
 Free of charge
