PROFINET IO enabled on Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3000 Switches PROFINET is one of the multi-bus Ethernet-based standards for the automation industry, allowing integration with IT and Fieldbus systems. PROFINET IO supports real time (RT) automation, and is built on Ethernet and TCP/IP standards. PROFINET IO has two communication channels, a real-time channel and a standard TCP/IP channel. The real-time channel meets the real time needs of factory automation by bypassing the TCP/IP stack for cyclic data exchange between the controller and the IO devices and event-controlled signals such as alarms and diagnostics. The TCP/IP channel is used for network configuration, setting parameters, reading of non-real-time diagnostics, and loading interconnects. Cisco IE 3000 Series Switches and PROFINET ® The implementation of PROFINET IO on the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3000 (IE 3000) Series Switches enables integration with factory management tools and provides real-time automation in modular control and distributed systems. With PROFINET IO support, the Cisco IE 3000 series offers a unified solution for configuration, management, and control. The Cisco solution enhances collaboration between IT and control networks by delivering a wire-speed, highly secure switching solution for ease of use in deployment and manageability with SIMATIC automation tools. The Cisco IE 3000 series is optimized for real-time automation and is well suited product for industrial-rugged environments and industrial Ethernet applications, including factory automation, intelligent transportation systems, process control, and other PROFINET-based applications. The Cisco IE 3000 series offers: ● The Cisco Catalyst switching architecture and feature set, highly secure integration with corporate networks, and integration with PROFINET-based devices PROFINET v2 certification, with PROFINET conformance class B compliance Integration with SIMATIC tools (Step 7 or NCM PC) through an installable Generic Station Description file (GSDv2.1) Cyclic data exchange between programmable logic controllers, IO devices, and other mMotion controllers Ease of deployment with SIMATIC integration, configuration, parameterization, and exchange of alarms and diagnostics with PROFINET controllers Support of ProfiSafe applications with wire-speed switching © 2009 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Cisco IE 3000 PROFINET Configuration and Parameterization With PROFINET integration, the Cisco9R) IE 3000 Series Switches are commissioned quickly and easily, using the PROFINET Dynamic Configuration Protocol. The switch configuration (PROFINET device name, MAC address, IP address, and subnet mask) and switch port parameters can be set from the SIMATIC tools. Parameters for switch and switch port operation are configured and downloaded to the PROFINET controllers. The Cisco IE 3000 Series can be commissioned from scratch like any other PROFINET-capable devices by browsing the Layer 2...

Cisco IE 3000 PROFINET GSD Files GSD files for the Cisco IE 3000 enable integration with Step 7 or NCM PC management tools. These GSD files contain capabilities of the switch and expansion modules, configurable parameters, and the error codes for alarms and diagnostic messages. The GSD configuration and integration files are stored in the Cisco IE Swap Drive for quick and easy switch replacement. Figure 4.

With an end-to-end, enterprise-to-plant network architecture, the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3000 Series Switches support multiple topologies for the PROFINET industrial control network, including redundant star and ring topologies, with features such as REP and RSTP to achieve the rapid network convergence needed for industrial networks. The multiple cell zones in a plant (e.g. zones in the paint shop, body shop, assembly shop, etc.) can be aggregated usng the Catalyst 3750 switches, which support high availability features such as StackWise and HSRP, or using the Cisco IE 3000 Layer 3...
