9Software3. Software3.1 Fundamentals of the KEB PROFINET interfaceThe KEB F5 PROFINET interface contains a PROFINET slave controller for time-critical operations of the com-munication. By using this PROFINET interface it is guaranteed that basic communication is compatible to thePROFINET specification. The functionality of the KEB F5 ProfiNet operator is determined by:• (Application) software (see value of the operator parameter OS00: Operator type)• (ProfiNet) firmware (see value of the operator parameter OS11: NetX_FwVersion)Technical data of the PROFINET interface connection:Supported PROFINET protocol versions PROFINET IO-RT (PROFINET IO-IRT*)* The synchronous operating mode (IRT) is only possible when using an application software version > = 2.6and a PROFINET firmware version from 3.x. For this see description of parameter Fb01: FBS Config.3.1.1 PROFINET acyclic data (parameter channel) according to PROFIdriveThe KEB F5 PROFINET operator supports the coding of the acyclic services according to PROFIdrive profilealso called Base Mode Parameter Access. However this applies only for the data transfer, not for the content orthe coding. That means the KEB F5 PROFINET interface connection does not support parameters accordingto PROFIdrive profile, but only the transport mechanism. In the following only the essential information for thetransport mechanism of the acyclic data according to Profidrive are listed. Complete specification is found in [3].The acyclic parameter Request according to Profidrive provides a mechanism, whereby a list of maximally 39parameters can be written or read with two PROFINET record accesses. The basic operation at PROFINET levelis as follows:1.Write-Record-Request of the master with Index = B02Eh, payload data = Parameter-request (see below)2.Write-Response of the slave, no payload data3.Read-Record-Request of the master with Index = B02Eh, no payload data4.Read-Response of the slave, payload data = Parameter response (see below)Parameter request:Block-Definition Byte n Byte -+1 nRequest Header Request Reference Request ID 0Axis-No. No. of parameters = n 21st parameter address Attribute No. of elements 4Parameter Number (PNU) 6Subindex 8: : :n th parameter address Attribute No. of elements 4 + 6 x (n-1)Parameter Number (PNU)Subindex1st parameter value(s) Format No. of values 4 + 6 x nValues: : :Nth parameter value(s)
