1 Introduction

PROFINET IO is an automation concept within PROFINET for implementation of modular, distributed

applications. With PROFINET IO, you create automation solutions using the same familiar methods as with

PROFIBUS. PROFINET IO is implemented with both the PROFINET standard for automation devices and the

STEP 7 engineering tool. This means that you have virtually the same application view in STEP 7 – regardless of

whether you are configuring PROFINET or PROFIBUS devices. Thus, programming of your

user program is nearly identical for PROFINET and PROFIBUS.

A software stack is provided for PROFINET IO. This enables cost-effective creation of PROFINET IO devices.

This stack eliminates the need for the user to create an entire communication software program. The stack

functionality includes:

• Cyclic RT and IRT data exchange with a PROFINET IO controller

• Sending and receiving of diagnostic and process alarms, and plug and pull alarms

• Assignment of IP addresses and device names via Ethernet

A good knowledge of PROFINET IO is required to implement the firmware stack.
