PROFINET

PROFINET is an application-level protocol used in industrial automation applications. This protocol uses standard Ethernet hardware and software to exchange I/O data, alarms, and diagnostics.

DataMan supports PROFINET I/O. This is one of the two “views” contained in the PROFINET communication standard. PROFINET I/O performs cyclic data transfers to exchange data with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) over Ethernet. The second “view” in the standard, PROFINET Component Based Automation (CBA), is not supported.

By default, the DataMan has the PROFINET protocol disabled. The protocol can be enabled via DMCC, scanning a parameter code or in the DataMan Setup Tool.

Note: If you have a wireless DataMan reader, see section Industrial Protocols for the Wireless DataMan

DMCC

The following commands can be used to enable/disable PROFINET. The commands can be issued via RS-232 or Telnet connection.

Note: Use a third party Telnet client such as PuTTY to communicate with your DataMan reader.

Enable:

   

||>SET PROFINET.ENABLED ON

||>CONFIG.SAVE

||>REBOOT

Disable:

   

||>SET PROFINET.ENABLED OFF

||>CONFIG.SAVE

||>REBOOT

 

Reader Configuration Code

Setup Tool

In the Setup Tool's Communications application step's Ethernet tab, check PROFINET to enable this industrial protocol.

Make sure to save the new selection by clicking the Save Settings button in the upper toolbar before disconnecting from the reader.

Note: The new settings take effect only after the reader is rebooted.
