PROFINET Forum

Webinar_Question

Can you please provide more information on the status and future plans for PROFIdrive / Encoder Profile Tester?
Are there plans to use ETS for the related tests?
In this context: Which S7 PLC exactly replaces (or in future shall replace) the CP1616? Is it S7-1516?

Webinar_Question

Do I need to wait for PROFINET Test Bundle Version 2.45 to use the ETS for precertification (because of not full migrated yet)?

Webinar_Question

To certify a PROFINET controller a file (comparable to the GSD file) is needed. Where do I get this file from?

Webinar_Question

If a PROFINET device is only produced for one manufacturer, does it still have to be certified?
And if so, who has to commission the certification?

Webinar_Question

Can an existing GSD V2.42 be extended to include a new device as of June / July 2024?

Webinar_Question

Can the ART Tester handle only the latest GSDML file version, or is it downward compatible?

Webinar_Question

Which configuration of a device is used for the certification test if the DUT is capable of many different modules/submodules? Is it always the default configuration?

Webinar_Question

Is the version of the ETS board always the same, or does it change? Is a new version planned?

Webinar_Question

Certification is mandatory before a device can be offered for sale.
What is meant with “device”?
Does the term “device” include both IOC and IOD?

Webinar_Question

If I use a microchip with a certified PROFINET stack to develop my new device, do I need to get the certification as well or is not necessary in this case?

Webinar_Question

Will it be possible to buy all the needed hardware as a bundle?
And if, what is the price?

Webinar_Question

Is it possible to use the CP1616 with the upcoming PROFIdrive Profile Tester 6 or is it completely replaced?

Webinar_Question

Does PI have some PROFINET diagnostics guidelines for diagnostic purpose of PROFINET network?

Webinar_Question

Is it planned to release a Linux-compatible version of the Automated RT Tester?

Webinar_Question

We have a controller, which also supports the device functionality as an I-Device. Will the I-Device get a separate certificate, or will it be integrated in the controller certificate?

Webinar_Question

Which features do virtual instances (controller and devices) need to support within PROFINET certification?

Webinar_Question

Configuration of TSN networks might be a challenge (depending on the network). How relevant might PROFINET cycle times below 250 microseconds be for the PROFINET market in future (with and without TSN support)?

Webinar_Question

PROFINET specification talks about PROFINET cycle times below 250 microseconds (DFP etc).
Are there currently IO Controllers available (in the market) which support PROFINET cycle times below 250 microseconds?

Webinar_Question

Is the PN cycle time configured on the device, or can it be adjusted by the PLC and this information is exchanged during start up?

Webinar_Question

Does the Community Stack already have PROFINET Security Class 1 implementation/support?

Webinar_Question

Do we really need managed switches in PN networks?
If so, what is the technical reason behind it?

Webinar_Question

Is it planned to provide example EDDs, Devkit parts and example Apps in the community stack?

Webinar_Question

Is there a way to expand the data frame of 1440 byte?

Webinar_Question

Is there a limitation of 64 Devices in a PROFINET IRT-network or IRT-domain?

Webinar_Question

Which netload class is mandatory for APL devices i.e. category netload class 1 or 2?

Webinar_Question

I see APL needs 2 wire, provide the signal and power, but I see M8 or M12 is 4 poles, why?

Webinar_Question

Are there many companies that develop APL devices?

Webinar_Question

Is there a communication between the field device and the APL switch about the delivered power class? Similiar to normal PoE Chips?

Webinar_Question

Is the 8ms minimum cycle time just an example or is it a "must-be" for any device?

Webinar_Question

Are there any dedicated tools to trouble shoot APL cables?
