10.1 PND Functional Overview
PROFINET is the communication standard for automation of PROFIBUS and
PROFINET International (PI). Many years of experience with PROFIBUS and the
widespread use of Industrial Ethernet are all rolled into PROFINET.
With its integrated, Ethernet-based communication, PROFINET satisfies a wide
range of requirements, from data intensive parameter assignments to extremely
fast I/O data transmission which enables automation in real-time.
10.2 PND Configuration
The following procedure provides the required steps to configure the PLX31-EIP-
PND module using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). This configuration
provides the ability to communicate with a Siemens processor via the PROFINET
protocol.
1. Launch ProSoft Configuration Builder.
2. Create a new PLX3x-EIP-PND module.
3. Click OK.
