13.6 Creating a PROFINET IO System
The following information applies if you want to use an Ethernet CP as
PROFINET IO controller in the PC station and want to configure a PROFINET IO
system.
Significance of the Configuration Data in a PROFINET IO System
The configuration data inform the PROFINET IO controller in the PC station of the
data and address areas of the connected PROFINET IO devices.
This data also includes the device names which the PROFINET IO controller
assigns to the PROFINET IO devices during startup.
Follow the steps below:
1 You have already placed the applications and modules as described in Section 13.4.
2 After you have taken the module from the catalog, you can select it and create a PROFINET IO
system using the Insert menu command.
If required, you can also connect an existing PROFINET IO system with the PROFINET IO
controller you have just created by selecting the CP, right - clicking, and then selecting the
“Connect PROFINET IO System” menu command.
3 Select the application (OPC server or application) that will address the PROFINET IO system
(the PROFINET IO devices).
The applications you have created are then
displayed and available for assignment.
Finally, you will see the created
PROFINET IO system.
