Datasheet

PROFINET is the Industrial Ethernet Standard from PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) which has become
the market-leading standard over the last five years. Excellent plant-wide networking, fast data communication and
long-term availability are just a few of the many benefits.
DF PROFINET IO, the newest in the company’s line of PC cards, is a high performance PN IO Controller/Device
board in PCI, CompactPCI and PCI-Express format. With this new improvement it is now possible, for the first time,
to operate large networks without any performance restriction.
The DF PROFINET IO board operates as a
PN IO Controller and/or as PROFINET IO
Device. Because its efficiency is so huge the
new board achieves as PN IO Controller
operations of 64 PROFINET devices per
millisecond in the performance class RT.
A second independent Ethernet interface
is optionally available, so the board can
therefore operate as PROFINET IO Device
at the same time. A stand-alone operation,
such as PN IO Device is also possible.
In PN IO Controller mode, among the cyclic
data traffic, all acyclic read/write/diagnosis
and alarm functions are supported and of
course compatible to the PN IO standard
of PROFIBUS & PROFINET International,
the umbrella organization. The size of the
process image of the card‘s I/O data is 16
Kbyte (8 Kbyte input and 8 Kbyte output
data). The PROFINET configuration data
is stored in a failsafe Flash Type Memory.
The Controller board also supports
PROFINET supervisor functionality, making
it possible to scan the network as well as
to control the names and IP addresses
of various PROFINET devices. KUNBUS‘
CONFIGURATOR III is available for
compilation and download of the PROFINET
configuration. The comfortable and fully
graphical tool minimises the configuration
effort, while extensive download, analysis
and control functions permit an efficient
checkup of the configured PROFINET IO
network.
In PN IO Device mode the min. cycle time
is 1 millisecond with a max. IO data size
of 1440 bytes. The board does not need
to be configured but instead receives the
IO configuration directly from the PN IO
controller, which significantly simplifies
putting it into service. A special feature
supported by the board is the PN IO Shared
Device mode, which allows multiple PN IO
controllers (up to 20) to access allocated
IO buffers within the device simultaneously.
This allows a very flexible integration also
into large and complex PN IO networks.
The operation modes PN IO Controller and
PN IO Device can be run simultaneously.
Drivers for all current operating systems
(WINDOWS and LINUX) are available and
an OPC UA server is planned for a later
release date. A LabVIEW™ PROFINET VISA
driver is already available.
LabVIEW™ PROFINET VISA DRIVER
The LabVIEW™ PROFINET VISA Driver
equips National Instruments’ LabVIEW™
with a real-time PROFINET IO connection.
The installation in a classical PC system
under LabVIEW™ for Windows is just
as likely as in a real-time PXI system
under LabVIEW™ RT, for example as a high
performance PAC system for time-critical
test applications or industrial automation
applications.
