Activity

Additional Settings for PROFInet and SIMOTION.

If you use a symbol file created by the engineering tools for PROFInet or SIMOTION, you must
also select a module for the communication paths.

Click on the “Advanced Symbols...” button

Note:
It is only necessary to make settings in advanced symbols if the “S7_extended” attribute was
set during configuration of the PROFInet data blocks. In this case, the S7 protocol must also be
selected. Extended S7 functionality is then used alongside PROFInet. If this functionality is not
used, the setting in advanced symbols is irrelevant.

If you require this communication, set the following:

For PROFInet, select the required Ethernet module.

For SIMOTION, select a PROFIBUS module.

Note:
For communication with SIMOTION or PROFInet, you only need to set a symbol file and select
a module and no further configuration with SIMATIC NCM PC or SIMATIC STEP 7 is
necessary.

You should also check whether or not the “PROFInet” protocol is enabled on the “OPC Protocol
Selection” property page.

“Apply” the settings.
