2 Commissioning the User Example with VxWorks Operating System

2.1 Requirements

The PNIO Development Kit provides a complete user example for a PROFINET IO device. It can be executed on

the Siemens AG ERTEC 200 evaluation board. This section explains how to commission a PROFINET IO

system, consisting of a PN-IO controller and a PN-IO device, on this platform.

The following components are necessary:

• DK-ERTEC 200 PN-IO

• Windriver compiler/linker (Tornado) V 2.2.1

• Windriver VxWorks V 5.5.1 operating system

• PROFINET IO controller, e.g. Simatic S7-CPU319 3 PN/DP or CP1616

• Ethernet cable

• RS232 null modem cable

• Step 7 V 5.4 or higher for configuring the CPU319 3 PN/DP with EB 200 or

• NCM PC V5.4 or higher for configuring the CP1616 with EB 200

Useful additional components, e.g. for network diagnostics;

• Packet sniffer for tracing Ethernet data packages. Various products are available on the market for this

purpose, some of which can be downloaded free-of-charge.

• Ethernet TAP for passive extraction of Ethernet signals to enable tracing of message frames in a

switched network

• A ready-to-go, executable PROFINET IO device as a reference system, e.g. Siemens ET 200S

2.2 Required Knowledge

As the programming engineer, you need knowledge of the following:

• Solid knowledge of C/C++

• Basic knowledge of VxWorks or a similar operating system

• Operating system programming techniques (multi-threading, callback-routines, events)

• Programming terms in English

• Knowledge of the PROFINET IO system

• General knowledge of automation engineering

• Basic knowledge of the STEP 7/NCM PC configuration software

2.3 Hardware Installation

The following figure shows a possible hardware constellation for the Development Kit. The minimum configuration

consists of:

• ERTEC 200 evaluation board (test board)

• PROFINET IO controller, e.g. SIEMENS S7 CPU 319 3 PN/DP or CP1616

The components are linked as follows:
