Is the implementation of the I&M4 data record optional? The signatures/CRC in I&M4 are usable only for the safety parameterization or also for the complete device parameter set (also non safety parametersets)? Supporting of IuM4 is optional by a device. If a device supports PROFIsafe profil...

Hello. This is my first post. I have some experience with PROFINET testing. I have a problem. We have two X005 SCALANCES, the part number recommended for the Netload test. One of the switches works as expected. But the other does not work as expected. I explain myself: The standard setup for netloa...

We have in field unexpected alarms with different devices. Some devices send in case of using FSU very often after a power cycle an alarm "Port data change notification - line delay mismatch". After few milliseconds the alarm disappers. We see this only by some devices and we think it dif...

The application classes 1, 2 and 3 (out of the 6) can be realized with RT.

Thank you. One additional question: What are the drawbacks or constraints of using a software-based Profinet solution ?​ You are welcome. Drawbacks are: - no IRT communication is possible - additional switch/PHY is required In general software based solutions do not support some of the features (li...

What hardware-based Profinet solutions are currently available in the market ?​ There is plenty of hardware supporting the PROFINET, which one fits for you depends on your requirements (desired features, integration needs..). The range spanns from standard ethernet controller up to full fledged FPG...
