Communication via PROFIBUS and PROFINET
3.4 Communication via PROFINET
3.4.3
PROFINET IO operation
3.4.3.1
What do you need for communication via PROFINET?
Check the communication settings using the following table. If you answer "Yes" to the
questions, you have correctly set the communication settings and can control the inverter via
the fieldbus.
Questions
Is the inverter correctly connected to the bus net-
work?
Do the IP address and device name in the inverter
and control match?
Is the same telegram set in the inverter the same as
in the higher-level control?
Are the signals that the inverter and the control
exchange via PROFINET correctly interconnected?
Communication with the control, even when the line voltage is switched off
If, in your plant or system, communication with the control system should continue to function
even when the line voltage is switched off, then you must externally supply the
inverter/Control Unit with 24 V DC. To do this, use terminals 31 and 32 – or connector X01.
You can find additional details in the operating instructions for the inverter or the Control
Unit.
3.4.3.2
Configuring communication to the control
Configuring the communication using SIMATIC S7 control
You have the following options, if the inverter is not included in the hardware library:
● Install the most up to date STARTER version
● Install the GSDML of the inverter using "Tools/Install GSDML file" in HW Config.
Configuring the communication using a non-Siemens control
1. Import the device file (GSDML) of the inverter into the engineering tool for your control
system.
2. Configure the communication.
