Hello,
I am currently testing our PROFINET IO Controller using the interoperability test cases from the certification process.
In the list of devices we must support, there is a SINAMICS CU310-2 PN.
I have this device available, but I am struggling to configure it correctly for use with a non-Siemens controller.
I understand that configuration must be done using TIA Portal with Startdrive. However, I am unable to achieve a configuration that matches the device description provided by the certification team.
The expected structure is described as follows:
Slot 1: DO_SERVO
Subslot 1: Module Access Point
Subslot 2: PROFIsafe Telegram 30 (Addr 50)
Subslot 3: Standard Telegram 3, PZD-5/9 (SERVO)
Slot 2: DO Control Unit
Subslot 1: Module Access Point
Subslot 2: Without PROFIsafe
Subslot 3: Siemens Telegram 390, PZD-2/2
From what I understand, this corresponds to a multi-DO configuration, but I cannot reproduce this setup in TIA Portal with a CU310-2 PN.
In particular:
- I do not see how to configure multiple Drive Objects (DO_SERVO + DO Control Unit)
- PROFIsafe seems required in the description, but I am not sure if it is mandatory for certification tests
- The Telegram combination (Telegram 3 + Telegram 390) is unclear for this type of hardware
To clarify my request:
- I am specifically looking for guidance on how to configure the CU310-2 PN in TIA Portal / Startdrive
- I am NOT asking about my controller configuration
Is there any official documentation, application note, or example project that describes:
- The expected PROFINET module layout for CU310 in certification context
- How to configure Drive Objects and telegrams accordingly in TIA Portal
- Whether PROFIsafe is required or optional in this scenario
Any guidance or example would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Kind regards

There shouldn’t be any issue to configure the CU310-2PN (using the provided GSDML) with the described structure within TIA-Portal.
Attached you can find a screenshot.
To configure the PROFIsafe telegram is not mandatory for the testing.
The main test aspect for using the CU310-2PN within the Interop Test Setup is to check whether the controller/engineering can work with multi-API devices (in this case PROFIdrive API).
So, how to setup/commission this device is not part of the PROFINET Test Bundle.
I would suggest using the tool Starter, as the integration in TIA-Portal is not needed for your use case.
