device connected in port P01 is required. Then one DSTs will be consumed for every
LDT that is configured.
*Please review the VIM2 product data sheet as an alternative to provide added EtherNet/IP functionality
(e.g. EDS file support.).

OPC UA Server „ PK Controller is a Server and allows reads and writes from OPC UA Clients.
„ Supports up to 6 client connections.
„ Allows up to 5000 reads/sec and 500 writes/sec.
„ Supports only the DA profile (real time data).
„ Is based on OPC UA standard version 1.02 that supports the following:
z OPC Binary Transportation
z 128 or 256-bit encryption levels
z Message Signing
z Digital Certificates – Self Signed and Certificate Authority (CA)
z Support online browsing
„ No license is required to enable this protocol, and it does not consume DSTs.
*Please review the DeltaV OPC UA product data sheet for more information regarding other OPC UA clients and
servers available in DeltaV

PROFINET Controller „ Not supported in PK Standalone.

„ Compliant with PROFINET version 2.3 and CC-A.
„ Configuration using GSDML files.
„ DCP operations. Discovery and basic Configuration Protocol that allow users
to discover, identify, and configure PROFINET device name and IP address using
DeltaV Engineering tools.
„ Support reading and writing to Real time cyclic data and reading Device Diagnostics.
„ Does not support Real time Acyclic data and Isochronous Real Time Data (IRT).
„ Maximum of 250 devices.
„ When configuring and commissioning Ethernet-APL devices, Process Automation profiles
are supported but expanded diagnostics and drop-in device replacement for a shared
profile are not supported.
„ Participates in an MRP ring with bonding ports but cannot be MRP manager.
„ The use of PRP is not supported with PROFINET.
„ Supports only S1 devices. That means that when using redundant controllers there
will be a bump during a controller switchover due to reconnection time with devices
after switchover (This is per definition of S1 devices in PROFINET standard).
„ AMS Device Manager is not supported natively through the PK Controller. Consult AMS
Device Manager product data sheet for connectivity with PROFINET.
„ To enable you need the PK Controller PROFINET interface License and add Ethernet
connected I/O (EIOC and PK) licenses for each device connected in the PN1 network.
The consumption of DSTs will happen in the following way:
z If device has 1 or 2 Physical Slots (or Modules) defined in the GSDML file (most common
in small devices like Motor starters & transmitters):
– 1 DST for the first 16 values (the highes value from the I/O types configured).
– After the first 16 values we charge one DST for every signal.
z If the device has more than 2 Physical Slots (or Modules) defined in the GSDML file
(most common in large devices like Remote I/O & PLCs):
– All inputs and outputs are counted and charged with a DST.
*Please review DeltaV Engineering guide for communication and redundancy performance of PROFINET

1
The PK Controller can natively support running either the Modbus TCP Client or the EtherNet/IP Scanner interface but not both simultaneously in P01. The Modbus TCP
Server and OPC UA Server can be run simultaneously alongside one of the chosen protocol Clients in P01 and PROFINET.

*Where xxx and nn is the number of Physical Devices that you want to license in the EIOC and PK. VE4109Sxxx licenses are system wide and are shared across the EIOC
and PK Controllers on the system. Also, VE4109Sxxx license is additive in the system and therefore you just need to buy more licenses if you want to increase the number
of physical devices in the system (there is no scale up license).
