9.4 Communication via PROFINET IO 
  Function Manual 
674  Function Manual, 06/2012, 6SL3097-4AB10-0BP4 
●  Configure the PROFINET communication in HW Config (see section "Configuring the 
controls"). 
●  When the system is booting, because p8929 = 2, SINAMICS S recognizes that 
PROFINET telegrams from 2 controls are expected, and structures the communication 
according to the configuration in HW Config. 
Note 
When booting, SINAMICS S needs the configuration data of the A-CPU first, and then 
establishes the cyclic communication to this CPU – taking into account the expected 
PROFIsafe telegrams. 
As soon as SINAMICS S has subsequently received the configuration of the F-CPU, 
cyclic communication is also established here and the PROFIsafe telegrams are taken 
into account. 
CAUTION 
Failure of a CPU 
If a CPU fails, communication with the other CPUs is not interrupted. Communication via 
both channels works independently of each other. 
If a CPU fails, communication with the other CPUs continues to function without 
interruption. Fault messages regarding the failed component are output. Resolve the 
fault and acknowledge the messages, then communication with the failed CPU will be 
re-established automatically. 
9.4.7.2  Configuring the controls 
You have two options for configuring both the controls A-CPU and F-CPU in HW Config : 
Configure 
●  both controls using the Shared Device function in a common project or 
●  each control in a separate project. 
Note 
You can find more detailed information on configuring with HW Config in the STEP7 
documentation.
