BIS V-6108 PROFINET
Processor Unit
15
english
The BIS V-6108 processor unit and the controlling system communicate via PROFINET IO.
The system PROFINET IO consists of the following components:
– IO controller
– IO device (here, the BIS V-6108 processor unit)
In a PROFINET network, IO controllers and IO devices can be connected to each other using all
common network topologies: a radial, linear, ring
or tree topology is possible.
Note
The BIS V-6108 has a built-in IRT switch with 2 ports for this purpose. This means
that both RT and IRT can be used.
In order to configure the parameters for the IO controller correctly based on type, the device
master data for the BIS V-6108 processor unit are included in the form of a GSD file. The data
can be found in the processor unit's internal memory and can be retrieved from there via the
USB port.
The data exchange takes place with the host control system in the input and output buffers
buffer. The size of these buffers must be configured by the master.
Note
The possible buffer sizes for each read/write head are stored in the GSDML file. A
minimum size of 8 and a maximum size of 254 bytes can be configured; the value
must always be an even number. The maximum total buffer size of 1440 bytes must
not be exceeded.
The processor unit and the host system communicate via the PROFINET protocol. This means
an IP address and a unique device name are required. The device name and the IP address can
be edited using the respective project planning software used, e.g. "Simatic Manager" and the IO
device.
Note
The BIS V-6108 processor unit is shipped without a device name. The GSDML file
has the prepared device name "bisv6108048".
The device can be restored to factory condition using the display. Details for resetting and on
menu guidance of the display are described in Chapter
“Display” on page 88
