I have also tried to access index 0xB00E, "PROCESS VARIABLE" parameter for Analog Input Block as per PA profile which is mandatory according to this standard. Tried slot/subslot 1/1 and 0/1, but in all cases I get nca_unk_if. I wonder whether I am doing something incorrectly or whether th...

I want to ensure that my intended use of the Profinet Community Stack is allowed under the Community Stack License. I understand it as allowing my company (a PI member company) to use and adapt the code within the Community Stack to create a Profinet adaptation layer for our hardware, then use that...

Hello PROFINET Forum experts. I have a customer who intends to use a PROFINET controller capable DCS (not a Siemens DCS) to monitor some PROFINET APL devices (pressure transmitters, etc.), in a pretty much plain-vanilla PROFINET over APL application. The devices are of course PA Profile compliant. ...

Where can I purchase the ETS Board? Also, where can I find the complete list of all required hardware for the tests? The Test Specification Testspec-PN_2572_V246_Jun25 , which is part of the testbundle, contains all required details about required hardware. Using the mentioned order numbers, you sh...

The Automated RT Tester provides numerous test cases. Is it mandatory to pass all of them to achieve certification, or are there any exceptions? The tool should skip tests for features not supported by the device. That is okay (although not a pass). You need to pass all testcases that relate to fea...

Has the Test Setup to be changed for some MRP Tests or does the ETS Board be enough? Some testcases require a different test setup than others. This is documented in Test specification. In the certification tool, these testcases are bundled in separat folders. You will find ETS Test Setup (the defa...

Hello PROFINET Forum experts. Our equipment is undergoing certification testing.

I only had an older TIA-Portal version and was not able to open the delivered projects of test bundle. you can download and install any version of TIA Portal from Siemens free of charge. The download version even provides a 21 day trial license. Doing so will allow you to open (and use) the provide...

Hello, I'm having this exactly same problem when testing my device, but with the latest ART, version 2.45.0.2. Could it be a regression in test bundle? Does anybody experienced similar issue? Thanks. Yes, i see the same issue (message "According to the GSDML the 'IM5_Supported' is not set to '...

Hi, Of course, that was missing in my GSDML file! Fixed and now all S2 tests are running successfully. Thank you very much. Now my next question refers to MRC Interop - Client test. I guess the setup I would have to put together is the one shown in section 5.2.6.6, figure 5-21. If so, what do I do ...

Hello Team, I want to test my Profinet device before sending it to the certification lab and for that I found the PN test bundle on PI website. The PN specification doc says that, to do the PN pretest we need to use the ETS-Board. Does it necessary to use the ETS-Board or we can use any Profinet IO...

Hi everyone, I am currently pre-testing a two-port PROFINET device before applying for the actual certification in the lab. I am using an ETS board for testing and following the steps outlined in the product documentation. Here is what I have done so far: Set the IP for the NIC connected to the ETS...

We are starting development to support Profinet on our switches. We are aiming for Compliance Class B certification. I am trying to look for what are the LLDP TLVs that are to be supported by the switch acting as a Profinet I/O device. Is there a specification I can refer to similar to the 802.1ab(...

all you need is contained in the Profinet certification tool. you simply need to "install" a delivered image to an SD card.

Hello PROFINET Forum experts. I have a couple of problems. For the other I will start another post. This is strange. With ART 2.44.1 we are testing our solution which now supports I&M5 (the previous version didn't so this is the first time I see this.). The ART is telling me that the GSDML file...

The PN protocol specification (2.4MU4) defines the BlockQualifier field for almost all DCP Suboptions (4.3.1.4.11). But I am missing a definition for the Suboption FactoryReset. Shall the value be ignored by the PN device? In contrast, the BlockQualifier for ResetToFactory is used to select the res...

No, this is not possible. As far as i know, this is a topic on the very long "todo / wish"- list. I miss this functionality as well.

My understanding is that - for IRT testing I need a different setup using the SPIRTA tool and a separate PCIE-Card - for Netload testing I need different setup using the pinetload tool on a Linux machine Would this be correct so far? Yes, that is correct. I do not know roadmap for those topics. I a...

Hello everyone, I have a question about the non-profinet-neighbor test cases with the ETS board (ART tester version 2.44.1.2) If I have understood the test specification correctly, the non-profinet neighbors are simulated. So no additional hardware is required. With the current ART-Tester version, ...

Hello Profinet experts, currently I'm working with a certification tool from ODVA (CT20) to test our Ethernet/IP device. Unforunately it raises an error "Received LLDP frame from unexpected Source MAC Address: 00:0a:cd:2c:ed:aa". I examined this LLDP frame with Wireshark and see some inte...

Is the pi profinet-community-stack a suitable start point for creating a client software implementation on Windows PC? I advise you not to go that way unless you are very experienced with Profinet.
