Distributed I/O devices - field of use

When structuring a system the inputs and outputs from or to the process are often integrated
centrally into the automation system.
In the case of large distances of the inputs and outputs from the automation system the wiring
can become very extensive and unstructured. Electromagnetic interferences can impair the
reliability. The flexibility of a central installation is also limited.

Product overview
3.2 Overview of the components
The use of distributed I/Os is suitable for such systems:

• The automation system is located at a central position.
• The I/O devices (inputs and outputs) operate decentrally on site.
• The CFU PA with its integrated BusLink between PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS PA enables
decentralized connection of PA field devices to the CPU of the automation system.

4.6 CFU PA: Voltage relationships (galvanic isolation)
4.5 CFU PA: PA profiles for field devices on PROFIBUS PA
PROFIBUS PA profiles and GSD files

For connecting field devices to a CFU PA, you must choose between the use of PA profiles and
device-specific GSD files.
PROFIBUS PA profiles enable simpler field device replacement than when device-specific GSD
files of the manufacturer are used.
Reasons for this are:
• The replacement device does not have to be identical.
• The replacement device only has to support the configured PA profile.
• If you are using SIMATIC PDM, you will find the PROFIBUS PA profiles in the following folder:
PROFIBUS-PA > Profile > Ident Neutral > Siemens AG
When PROFIBUS PA profiles are integrated in the CFU PA, you can find the PA profiles of the CFU
PA in the catalog in HW Config in the folder:
PROFINET IO > I/O > Compact Field Unit > Compact Field Unit PA ... > PROFIBUS-PA Profiles.
IOs in the field device

A field device can have multiple IOs. IOs describe the characteristics of the device. The term IO
corresponds to a PROFIBUS ID number.
When you use PA profiles, the ID number is replaced by readable text (e.g. 0x9701 corresponds
to "Transmitter 2 AI").
Selected IO
A "Selected IO" identifies the behavior of the IO that the CFU PA sets in the field device (examples:
"Transmitter 2 AI", "Discrete Output 1 DO", manufacturer-specific IOs). The configuration in
HW Config normally defines the "Selected IO".
Setting the "IO" in the EDD of the field device is not permitted for a CFU PA.
If you use HW Config or SIMATIC PDM for configuring the field devices and the CFU PA, the CFU
PA stores the PA profiles read from the field device and the selected IO.
4.6 CFU PA: Voltage relationships (galvanic isolation)

The CFU PA has galvanic isolation between the fieldbus and all other circuit components of the
CFU PA.

Operation planning
4.8 System change during operation
4.7 CFU PA: Functions of the fieldbus connections (FB)
FIELDBUS
The CFU PA compiles the protocols between the PROFINET IO and the PROFIBUS PA.
With regard to field devices, the CFU PA operates like a BusLink (PROFINET IO to PROFIBUS PA)
with connected field distributors for PA field devices.
You connect the PA field devices to the "FIELDBUS; FB<n>" connections on the CFU PA. CFU PA
and PA field devices form a common autonomous PROFIBUS PA system.
Parameters
Information on parameter assignment of the field devices can be found in the documentation of
the field device.
Availability
• For the "FIELDBUS; FB<n>" connections, the following applies when physical faults occur
(such as wire break or short circuit):
– Faulty connections are automatically deactivated as long as the fault exists.
– The bus is automatically terminated
• Repairs and extensions at the individual "FIELDBUS; FB<n>" connections are possible during
operation.

Operating modes and functions 5
5.1 Actuator shutdown
Actuator shutdown
The actuator shutdown is a function that allows digital outputs DO to be set to a digital low level
via a monitoring channel (DI channel) of the CFU. This is done directly by the CFU without
coordination through the CPU.
Actuator shutdown in the CFU

The actuator shutdown of the CFU uses a monitoring channel (DI channel) to rapidly set all the
digital outputs to a digital low level.
When the actuator shutdown shuts down the digital outputs, the CFU generates a diagnostic
interrupt.
CFU PA: The function has no effects on the PROFIBUS PA channels (FB x).
Note
Connection to the CPU
Actuator shutdown takes effect independently of the connection to the CPU (STOP/RUN,
connection interrupted) and the configured substitute values.
"Monitoring channel" parameter

Selection of the monitoring channel used to switch off the digital outputs.
Settings:
• None
• Channel 0
• Channel 1

CFU DIQ DIQ16 DC24V/0.5A, Counter • Channel 0
• Channel 1

5.3 Counting
Overview of channel functions

The digital channels configured as DI channels continue to operate as digital inputs regardless
of the operating mode.
The following figure shows the available functions for a channel on which the configuration of
the counter/frequency measurement operating modes is possible:
• In "Counter" mode, a 32-bit forward counter works in parallel to the digital input.
You can find information on this in the section "Counting (Page 37)".
• In "Frequency measurement" mode, a frequency measurement works in parallel to the digital
input.

5.3 Counting
5.3.1 Gate control

One software gate is available per counter channel for controlling the counter.
If a hardware gate is activated, it has an effect on the counting function.
Software gate
The software gate can be set via the control interface of the CFU (SW_GATE control bit).
You can find information on this in the following sections:
• Section "CFU PA: Address space of the submodule DIQ8 DC24V/0.5A, Counter (Page 204)"
• Section "CFU DIQ: Address space of the submodule DIQ16 DC24V/0.5A, Counter (Page 207)"
Hardware gate
If the hardware gate is to be used, select a free channel of the CFU at the "Hardware gate
channel" parameter to control the counting processes.

Gate control and status bit STS_GATE

The gate control performs AND linking of the following signals:
• Software gate (SW gate): Control bit SW_GATE
• Hardware gate (HW gate): Input signal at hardware gate
The result of the AND logic operation of the software gate and hardware gate is displayed as the
status of the internal gate via the status bit STS_GATE.
If the hardware gate is not activated, the status bit STS_GATE shows the status of the control bit
SW_GATE.

Section "Loading the count value (Page 44)"
5.3.4 Behavior when the comparison value is reached (status bit STS_DQ and
output DQ)
You can specify a value within the counting range for which a comparison with the counter
reading is carried out.

5.3 Counting
Parameters for comparison

You can configure the following for the counter:
• "Set output DQ" parameter:
Evaluation of the comparison value:
For settings, see the following table "Configure evaluation of the comparison value"
• "DQ channel" parameter
Output the status at a DQ channel (parameter requires a free channel for the output).
• "Hardware interrupt" parameter
Generates a hardware interrupt when the STS_DQ status bit changes from 0 to 1 (see
following table).
Configure evaluation of the comparison value

With the "Set output DQ" parameter, you determine when the STS_DQ status bit is set.
The parameter only affects the status bit STS_DQ.

reaction to the following events, for example:
• Behavior at CPU stop
• Actuator shutdown
• Diagnostics
• Error recognition
Note
• Errors of the DQ channel have no influence on the counting function.
• If STS_DQ status bit is linked with a DQ channel, this link also remains when the DI channel
is deactivated.

5.3.5 Loading the count value
Introduction
You can specify the value from which counting is continued for a digital input parameterized as
a counter.
Load counter
You can specify the load value for counting via the user program.
You can find information on the address space in the following sections:
• Section "CFU PA: Address space of the submodule DIQ8 DC24V/0.5A, Counter (Page 204)"
• Section "CFU DIQ: Address space of the submodule DIQ16 DC24V/0.5A, Counter (Page 207)"
You can find the following parameters in the control interface:
• Load value
• LD_SLOT: Apply load value with rising edge of LD_SLOT as current count value
• SW_GATE: 0 = Stop counting / 1 = Continue counting
Applying the load value takes effect directly and is independent of whether the counter is
currently running.
The following figure shows the change of the count value with control via the user program (load
value) and the effects on the comparison event.

In "Frequency measurement" mode, the function works in parallel to the digital input. The
functions of the digital input remain available.
Operating principle in "Frequency measurement" mode

The CFU determines the frequency applied in Hz. The frequency value is displayed in the unit Hz
in REAL format.
You can read the frequency value in the feedback interface.
The interval from the beginning of measuring to the end of measuring is called the measuring
window. Within the measuring window, the measured values are updated cyclically.
The measurement window is calculated automatically by the CFU and adapted according to the
frequency. Different update rates result from this.
The frequency is determined with the following formula:
Frequency [Hz] = (Number of rising edges at digital input) / (measuring window [s] )
Note
Detection of the input signal
If frequency values are outside the measuring range, the status is undefined.
• Frequencies above 1 kHz cannot be correctly resolved (minimum pulse length 500 µs).
• Frequencies under 0.1 Hz cannot be correctly resolved (pulse length greater than 10 s).
A statement on the actual values is not possible.

Installing the cables
The basic procedure applies to all cables (power supply, FB<n> and DIQ<n>), bus cables for PROFINET IO
and bus cables for PROFIBUS PA)
When you use the CFU in the housing, loosen the screw caps of the cable glands for the positions
at which cables are to be routed through the housing.
Check the seals for damage and correct seating. If necessary, replace the cable gland. It is possible
to install specially certified cable and conductor glands, reducing inserts as well as blanking and
sealing plugs.
Remove unused blanking plugs and reducing inserts from the cable glands. Route the cables
through the cable glands and then into the housing (thread side to the housing). Only perma‐
nently installed cables and lines may be inserted.
Note:
Ensure that the cables are correctly sealed (see section "Tools and tightening torques (Page 195)")
5 Connect the cables to the connections of the CFU (FB<n> and DIQ<n>).
Observe the pin assignment on the plug connector:
• See section "Connecting a sensor / actuator to the CFU (Page 60)"

A CFU must have a device name so that an IO controller can address the CFU as an IO device.
This approach was chosen for PROFINET because names are easier to understand than complex
IP addresses.
The device name must be unique in the PROFINET IO system.

Commissioning
The assignment of a device name for the CFU corresponds to the setting of the PROFIBUS address
for a DP slave.
Rules for specifying the device name (in accordance with IEC 61158-6-10)
• A device name may have a maximum length of 240 characters (letters, numbers, hyphen or
dot).
• A device name must consist of at least one character.
• In a device name a character string between two dots forms a label. Such a label could, for
example, be ".device-a.".
• A label may have a maximum length of 63 characters.
• The minimum length of a label is one character, for example ".a.".
• A device name has one or more labels.
• A label may only contains the letters a to z (no umlauts), the numbers 0 to 9 as well as the
hyphen.
• A label must not contain any special characters such as brackets, underscore, slash or blank.
• Umlauts (such as "ä" or "ü") must not be used.
• The hyphen ("-") is the only special character that is allowed.
• A label must not begin with a hyphen, however.
• A label must not end with a hyphen either.
• A device name may not have the form n.n.n.n (n = 0...999).
• A device name must not begin with the character string "port-xyz-" (x,y,z = 0...9).
• A device name must not begin or end with a dot. For example, the character string ".device-
a." is not permitted as the device name (only as a component of a device name, as a label).
Automatic addition of suffix to device name (offline configuration)
• If a PROFINET IO system contains multiple devices of the same type, STEP 7 automatically
adds a consecutive number to the end of the device name originating from the GSD file. The
second device has the suffix "-1", the third device the suffix "-2", etc.
• STEP 7 gives you the option of having the name of the IO system automatically added as a
name component of the device name. To do this, select the "Use name in device/controller"
option in the properties of the IO system. The device name then has the form:
[Name from GSD file].[Name of IO system]
You can find additional information om address and name assignment for PROFINET IO devices
in the STEP 7 online help.

10.1 Identification and maintenance data
Definition and properties

Identification and maintenance data (I&M) is data that is stored in the CFU that supports you in
the following actions:
• Checking the system configuration
• Finding the hardware changes of a system
• Troubleshooting in a system
(I data) are data about the CFU, such as the article number and serial number, that are in part also
printed on the housing of the CFU. I data are manufacturer data about the CFU and can only be
read.
Maintenance data (M data) are system-dependent data, such as the installation location and
installation date. M data are created during configuring and is written to the CFU.
Through the I&M data the CFU can be identified uniquely online.
Reading and writing of the I&M data with PCS 7 and STEP 7
In HW Config the I&M data are displayed in the "Module state – CFU" tabs (see the online help for
STEP 7).
10.2 Maintenance
• Maintaining the CFU
Regular maintenance of the CFU itself is not necessary.
• Maintaining field devices
During maintenance of a field device, it may be useful to disable the fieldbus connection for
the respective field device.
• Maintaining sensors/actuators
During maintenance of a sensor/actuator, it can make sense to disable the respective
channel. This ensures that faults cannot influence the system.

Ferrules
You can achieve optimum results with respect to a high-quality and durable electrical
connection with maximum conductor extraction forces through the use of crimp shapes,
preferably with smooth surfaces, as is ensured for example with rectangular and trapezoidal
crimp cross-sections.
Due to the variety of crimp shapes used in industry, we recommend other shapes on request.
Crimping dies with a pronounced wave profile are unsuitable.

PROFIBUS PA
PROFIBUS PA is the PROFIBUS for Process-Automation (PA) and is based on
IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/2 for transmission technology and protocol and on the PA profile.
PROFIBUS PA = PROFIBUS DP communication protocol

+
synchronous transmission technology
+
Power supply of the PA field devices
Connectable field devices

You can connect all field devices that are suitable for PROFIBUS PA to the CFU.
• Measuring transducers, valves, actuators etc.
• For use in the chemicals industry and process engineering
• With field device feed via the data cable
• Also for applications in the potentially explosive area (ignition protection type Ex [ic])

Appendix
A.8 Using a SIMATIC Compact Field Unit with GSDML
A.7.3 Intrinsic safety
Intrinsic safety
The basis for the intrinsic safety type of ignition protection consists in the necessity for a specific
amount of ignition energy for ignition to take place in a potentially explosive atmosphere. In an
intrinsically safe power circuit this minimum ignition energy is not present, neither in normal
operation nor in case of fault. The intrinsic safety of a power circuit is achieved by limiting
current and voltage so as to avoid sparks and high temperatures as possible sources of ignition.
This limits the intrinsic safety type of ignition protection to relatively low output power circuits.
Spark ignition
So-called spark ignition is excluded because sparks that can normally occur owing to short circuit
or ground fault during operation when a power circuit is opened or closed are excluded because
current and voltage are limited as well as owing to the avoidance of major inductivities.
Heat ignition
In normal operation and in case of failure heat ignition is not possible because excessive heating
of the equipment and leads in the intrinsically safe power circuit is excluded.
For additional information on the topics intrinsic safety and explosion protection please refer to:

A.8.2 DI/DO; Counter; Measure frequency

• Configuring channels
Each channel must be separately configured. The use of the GSDML does not provide the
option of simultaneously processing all channels.
• Channel configured as "DI"
When a channel is configured as DI, the following parameters are ignored:
– "Diagnostics: Short circuit to L+"
– "Reaction to CPU STOP"
• Parameter check
A parameter check (e.g. DQ channel is configured) does not take place at the compilation
moment.
A faulty parameter assignment is rejected by the CFU with a "Parameterization error"
diagnostic interrupt.

A.8.3 CFU PA only: CFU PA and field devices

• Using SIMATIC PDM
The parameter assignment of the field devices and the CFU PA is only possible via SIMATIC
PDM.
• Planning the network for Engineering
The engineering system must be located in the subnet of the CFU PA.
• Using SIMATIC PDM for access to field devices and configuration
The field devices must be created directly in SIMATIC PDM.
Open SIMATIC PDM manually. This is the only way to access the configuration or the field
devices.
SIMATIC PDM cannot be opened automatically from the engineering system (e.g. with
double-click on the field device).
• Connecting field devices
You can connect field devices by using PA profiles (16 PA profiles). Manufacturer-specific GSDs
cannot be used.
• Labeling the field devices
An "Expected TAG" is not displayed in the EDD Wizard.
A.9.1 Concept of the driver and diagnostics blocks in PCS 7
Use with PCS 7

The following information shows you the benefits of using PCS 7. PCS 7 automatically carries out
many important parameterizations and interconnections of blocks.
If you want to use the CFU outside of the PCS 7 environment, note the subsequent section.
Tasks of the driver and diagnostics blocks (driver blocks)

In process control systems, certain demands are placed on the diagnostics/signal processing.
This includes the monitoring of modules, IO devices and IO controllers for malfunctions and
failures.
To enable this, blocks are available in the PCS 7 library that implement the interface to the
hardware including test functions.
These blocks perform two basic tasks:
• They provide signals from the process to the AS for further processing.
• They monitor modules, IO devices and IO controllers for failure.
When the process signals are read in, these blocks access the process image input (or process
image partition) (PII) and when the process signals are output, they access the process image
output (or process image partition) (PIQ).

Appendix
Concept
The concept of the driver and diagnostics blocks for PCS 7 can be characterized as follows:
• The separation between user data processing (CHANNEL blocks) and diagnostics data
processing (MODULE blocks)
• The symbolic addressing of the I/O signals
• The automatic generation of the MODULE blocks by CFC
This block concept supports all modules from the list of approved modules.
When new Siemens or non-Siemens module types are integrated, the meta-knowledge for the
driver generator can be extended by additional XML files (object and action lists).
Note
Driver and diagnostics blocks
• The library with the driver blocks has to be installed using the Setup program on the PC. This
is the only method of ensuring that the meta-knowledge required for the driver generator is
available. You must not copy the library from another computer.
• You can also use driver blocks from another library (for example, your own blocks from your
own library). You can specify this additional library in the "Generate module drivers" dialog
box. The driver generator then searches for the block to be imported in the library specified
here. If the block is not found here, it is searched for in the library specified in the control file
(XML file).
• If the S7 program contains a signal-processing block but not from one of the PCS 7 libraries,
you have to specify the version of the driver library from which the driver blocks are to be
imported in the "Generate module drivers" dialog box.
Time-optimized processing
For time-optimized processing of the user program during runtime, PCS 7 automatically carries
out the following programming tasks:
• Divide organization blocks for error handling (for example, OB 85, OB 86) into runtime groups
• Installing driver blocks into the corresponding runtime groups
If an error occurs, the SUBNET block, for example, activates the relevant runtime group, the RACK
block or MODULE block contained in the runtime group detects the error, evaluates it and
outputs a process control message to the OS.
The diagnostics information of the MODULE block (OMODE_xx output) is also transferred to the
corresponding CHANNEL block (MODE input).
If necessary, this information can be displayed by means of a PCS 7 block that can be operated
and monitored on the OS or by means of a user block in a process picture (color change of the
measured value or flashing display, etc.).

Glossary
"Switch off at signal level" parameter

Select the signal level at which the digital outputs are to be switched off.
Settings:
• High
• Low
Actuator
Actuators can be power relays or contactors for switching on loads, or they can be loads
themselves (e.g., directly controlled solenoid valves).
Actuator shutdown
The actuator shutdown is a function that allows digital outputs DO to be set to a digital low level
via a monitoring channel (DI channel) of the CFU. This is done directly by the CFU without
coordination through the CPU.
Automation system
Programmable logic controller for the open-loop and closed-loop control of process sequences
of the process engineering industry and manufacturing technology. The automation system
consists of different components and integrated system functions depending on the automation
task.
Availability
Availability is the probability that a system is functional at a specific point in time. Availability can
be increased by redundancy, e.g., by using multiple -> sensors at the
same measuring point.
Bus
Joint transmission path to which all nodes of a bus system are connected.
BusAdapter
Enables free selection of the connection technology for the PROFINET fieldbus.

Glossary
Channel number

CFU) and to assign channel-specific diagnostic messages.
Channel type
Selection of the channel type (for one DIQ channel or all DIQ channels)
• Digital DI
• Digital output DQ
Comparison value
You can configure a comparison value within the count limits. When the count value reaches the
comparison value the counter reacts according to the parameterization.
Configuration
Systematic arrangement of the individual modules.
Configuration control
Function that enables flexible adaptation of the actual configuration based on a defined
maximum configuration via the user program. Input, output and diagnostics addresses remain

The count limits define the value range of the count value. The count limits are configurable and
can be changed during runtime.
Crimping
Procedure in which two components, e.g. wire end ferrule and cable, are connected with each
other by plastic strain.
Dark period
Dark periods occur during shutdown tests and complete bit pattern tests. The fail-safe output
module switches test-related zero signals to the active output. This output is then briefly
disabled (= dark period). An adequate carrier → actuator will not respond to this and will remain
activated.

Glossary
DD (Device Description)
Device description for field devices
Derating
See temperature characteristics
Device name
Before an IO device can be addressed by an IO controller, it must have a device name.
An IO device is delivered without a device name. An IO device can only be addressed by the IO
controller after it has been assigned a device name via the PG/PC or via the topology, e.g. for the
transfer of configuration data (such as IP address) during startup or for the exchange of user data
during cyclic operation.
Diagnostics
Monitoring functions for the recognition, localization, classification, display and further
evaluation of errors, faults and alarms. They run automatically during plant operation. This
increases the availability of plants because commissioning times and downtimes are reduced.
Diagnostics Missing Supply Voltage

Diagnostics for missing or insufficient supply voltage L+.
Diagnostics Short-Circuit to Ground

Enable diagnostics (for one DIQ channel or all DIQ channels).
You can enable diagnostics for an activated digital output.
The diagnostics monitors the digital output and signals when a short-circuit of the digital output
to ground occurs.
A short-circuit to ground is only recognized for an output value = 1 (output is switched on).
Note on short-circuit signal

If the output is deactivated during an active short-circuit (output value = 0), the diagnostics
"Short-circuit to ground" is reset.
Diagnostics Short-Circuit to L+
You can enable diagnostics for an activated digital output.
The diagnostics monitors the digital output and signals when a short-circuit of the digital output
to L+ occurs.

Glossary

You can enable diagnostics for an activated DIQ channel.
The diagnostics monitors the DIQ channel and signals when the line to the actuator is
interrupted.
Distributed I/O devices - field of use

When structuring a system the inputs and outputs from or to the process are often integrated
centrally into the automation system.
In the case of large distances of the inputs and outputs from the automation system the wiring
can become very extensive and unstructured. Electromagnetic interferences can impair the
reliability. The flexibility of a central installation is also limited.
The use of distributed I/Os is suitable for such systems:
• The automation system is located at a central position.
• The I/O devices (inputs and outputs) operate decentrally on site.
• The CFU PA with its integrated BusLink between PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS PA enables
decentralized connection of PA field devices to the CPU of the automation system.
Distributed I/O system

System with input and output modules that are configured on a distributed basis, far away from
the CPU controlling them.
DP

• Hart Communication Foundation (HCF)
• Fieldbus FOUNDATION (FF)
• OPC Foundation
The basis for the device descriptions is the EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language -
Standard IEC 61804-3).

GSML file
The file contains all properties of a PROFINET device that are necessary for its configuration.

Glossary
Hardware gate channel

For the "Counter" mode, enables the selection of a free channel as hardware gate to control the
counting processes.
If the hardware gate is activated, it has an effect on the gate control system via a logical AND link
with the software gate. When the internal gate is open, the count pulses are processed.

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a network protocol that is described in the international
standard IEEE-802.1AB. As a manufacturer-independent Layer-2 protocol for the recognition of
the topology in a network it serves to transfer information to neighboring devices.
Devices that support LLDP send device-specific information via an LLDP agent (software
component) to the multicast address 01:80:C2:00:00:0E with the type 0x88C at periodic
intervals. Neighboring LLDP-compatible devices store received information in the Management
Information Base (MIB) and thus recognize neighboring devices.

applicable) sensors and actuators.

Glossary
MAC address

ID (serial number). The MAC address is usually legible on the device.
Measuring window
The measuring window is the interval in which the I/O module updates the measured values
cyclically.

per period. A time measurement between two edges is not supported.
Frequency [Hz] = Number of positive edges at the digital input/Measuring window [sec]
Process image (I/O)

The CPU transfers the values from the input and output modules to this memory area. At the
start of the cyclic program, the signal states of the input modules are transmitted to the process
image input. At the end of the cyclic program, the process image output is transmitted as signal
state to the output modules.
Product version (ES) = Functional status (FS)

The product version or functional status provides information on the hardware version of the
module.

Reaction to violation of the high counting limit

For the "Counter" mode, defines the reaction of the counter when the count limit is reached.

Glossary
Modes:
• "Continue counting"
With the "Continue counting" setting, the counter jumps back to 0 and continues counting
when the high counting limit is violated.
• "Stop counting"
With the "Stop counting" setting, the counter jumps back to 0 and stays there when the high
counting limit is violated. The internal gate needs to be closed and opened again to continue
counting.

In the office area and in automation technology, devices support a wide range of manufacturers
on the Ethernet SNMP.
SNMP-based applications can be operated on the same network in parallel to applications with
PROFINET.
Spur
Spur line to a field device
Switch
PROFIBUS is a linear network. The communication nodes are linked by means of a passive cable
- the bus.
By contrast, Industrial Ethernet consists of point-to-point connections: each communication
node is interconnected directly with precisely one other communication node.
If a communication node is linked to several communication nodes, this communication node
is connected to the port of an active network component - the switch. Other communications
devices (including switches) can then be connected to the other ports of the switch. The
connection between a communication node and the switch remains a point-to-point
connection.
The task of a switch is thus to regenerate and distribute received signals. The switch "learns" the
Ethernet address(es) of a connected PROFINET device or additional switches and only forwards
those signals that are intended for the connected PROFINET device or switch.
A switch has a specific number of connections (ports). You connect at most one PROFINET device
or additional switch to each port.
Technology object
A technology object supports you in the configuration and commissioning of a technological
function.
The properties of real objects are represented by the technology objects in the controller. Real
objects can be, for example, controlled systems or drives.
The technology object includes all data of the real object that is required for its open-loop or
closed-loop control, and it signals the status information.
Temperature derating
The derating describes the maximum permissible heat dissipation of components depending on
the ambient temperature.
TIA Portal
Totally Integrated Automation Portal
The TIA Portal is the key to the full performance capability of Totally Integrated Automation. The
software optimizes all operating, machine and process sequences.

Glossary
Total current
Sum of currents of all freely configurable channels.
Transmission rate
Speed during the data transfer and specifies the number of transferred bits per second (transfer
rate = bit rate).
TWIN wire end ferrule

Wire end ferrule for two cables
Value status
The value status is the binary additional information of a digital signal. The value status is
entered in the process image of the input and provides information on the validity of the signal.
