9.9 Configuration PROFINET-I-Device / Shared-Devicen I-Device (Intelligent device) offers PROFINET I/O communication of a CPU with I/Operiphery as "intelligent device" to a higher-lever CPU. Here the communication hap-pens by means of an I/O area, which was defined in the I-Device, before.n Thus the higher-lever CPU can communicate with the I/O area VIPA specific settingsare necessary in the I-Device.n In addition an I/O area for the communication is to be defined in the I-Device and thehardware configuration is to be imported as GSD file in the higher-lever VIPA CPU.n With Shared-Device different IO controllers can independently access one IO deviceby means of Shared-Devices. Here during configuration of an IO device the corre-sponding I/O component can be assigned to a specified controller. For example,standard CPU and fail-safe CPU use the same peripheral system.After you have defined the I/O area for data transfer of the I-Device the following VIPAspecific functions are to be activated in the properties of the corresponding I-Device:n ‘I-Device è I-Device mode’: ‘Parameter assignment for the PN interface and its portson the higher-lever IO controller’n ‘General è Interface: [Properties]’: ‘Use different method to obtain IP address’Create an I-Device GSD file and install it at your hardware catalog with ‘Optionsè Create GSD file for I-Device’. Open the hardware configuration of your higher-leverVIPA CPU and connect your I-Device from ‘Preconfigured Stations’ .The PROFINET CPU from VIPA can not be configured as I-Device but it supports I- andShared-Devices. For this to configure the CPU 317-4PN23 from VIPA you have to use theSiemens CPU 317-2 PN/DP (6ES7 317-2EK14-0AB0 V3.2) from the hardware catalog.For this the Siemens SIMATIC manager starting with V 5.5, SP2 is necessary.Besides the configuration, by means of the Siemens CPU 317-2 PN/DP (6ES7317-2EK14-0AB0 V3.2), no further VIPA specific adjustments are required for Shared-Devices.GeneralVIPA specific setting for I-DevicesIO controller which sup-ports I- and Shared-DevicesSetting for Shared-DevicesVIPA System 300S+ Deployment Ethernet communication - PROFINETConfiguration PROFINET-I-Device / Shared-DeviceHB140 | CPU | 317-4PN23 | en | 18-01 141
