Hello, We have a drive connected to a PC equipped with CP1616 and Spirta. We bought the CP1616 to test the drive before going to a PROFINET lab and try the certification (RT and IRT). I was expecting Spirta to establish a synchronous communication with the drive (for example in test Syncslave01_WFU...

Hello everyone, in which cases are the tests with P2P-Setup mandatory? Are these testcases required for certification with 2 or more port devices? (Especially "Different Access Ways P2P" because in list of test specification these test is not listed (Pn-Spec 2021)) Thanks for your answers...

Hello everyone, if have a simple question. Did the test fail in Faulty and Normal mode if one of the two output bits "Qx_Error.." is set? I ran the test with a new device and after the test the device works fine, but the error bits were set in Faulty Mode. (Test was executed with specific...

Hello, I need a helping hand concerning above mentioned test. My device is failing when I run AR-ASE S2 test, in the beginning of Scenario 1-4. Behavior 8, 9, 10 and 11, right in the sequence, are failing as well. AR-ASE and other behavior tests are ok. Log shows the following messages: 14:40:11 - ...

Hey Daniel, thank you for your answer! How are the wd_min and wd_max values measured in detail? Is the watchdog started and then monitored cyclically to determine whether it has been triggered? (wd_max) And how is the wd_min value measured? Thank you very much in advance for your answer! Hi Booster...

Hi Booster, no these are two different Times. The Device-Cycle-Time is the cycle time the time the device communicates with the F-Host e.g. 1ms. The Device-Acknowledgment-Time is the time the device needs to react on a changed MonitoringNumber (MNR). There is no other time included such as transmis...

The PROFIsafe Tests include tests with the Safetylayer-Tester. In documentation of Safetylayer-Tester, the watchdog test is required for certification. It should be checked whether the measured times are within tolerance. Maximum value = ((watchdog value + 10%) + device cycle time + inaccuracy of m...

Hi Forum, My task: I am supposed to filter incoming/outgoing Profinet and Profisafe messages from a safety PLC (probably SIEMENS 15xx series) in a so-called "APL module" and incorporate them into a new frame. The black channel comes to the APL module via Ethernet APL and should now be for...

In general a PROFINET Certificate is valid for three years.

What modifications to an already certified Profinet device are permitted without necessitating the recertification process again ? If the modifications have no influence to the communication a recertification is not necessary. But you need extend your certificate to the new Software Version via a v...
