2.0 Introduction

The PROFI Interface Center (PIC) in Johnson City, Tennessee has created the

ProfinetCommander application, which runs as a PROFINET IO controller on a PC with an

easy-to-use graphical user interface. With ProfinetCommander, the user can test a PROFINET

network and the IO Devices connected to it. With the Windows graphical interface the user can view

the configuration, I/O data, parameters, alarms, and diagnostic data. The output data to the IO

devices can also be changed.

3.0 Hardware and Software Requirements

The following items are required for the ProfinetCommander application to operate correctly.

•PC with Ethernet port

•Siemens “SIMATIC NET Networking for Industry” CD, version 11/2003 + SP1 or newer.

The following software must be installed from the CD:

SOFTNET PN IO (PROFINET IO controller communications software for PC)

SIMATIC NCM PC (configuration tool). If Siemens STEP7 is already installed, it will

be used instead (STEP7 V5.3 SP3 or newer is required).

•Windows operating system supported by the SIMATIC NET CD (Windows 2000/XP

Professional, see CD).

Before running ProfinetCommander the SIMATIC NET CD must be installed.

Warning: If you have a firewall installed on your PC, it may block the SOFTNET PN IO

communications on the Ethernet port. In this case ProfinetCommander will not be able to

communicate with the PNIO devices.

4.0 Configuring the PC Station and the PROFINET IO Network

Before starting ProfinetCommander, the following configuration steps must be performed:

Select the IP addresses for the PC and the connected PROFINET IO devices.

Set up the PC station configuration using the Station Configuration Editor.

Use the SIMATIC NCM PC (or STEP7) configuration tool to configure the PROFINET IO

network.

Download the configuration to the PC station.

Download the device names to the PROFINET IO devices.

Export the configuration to a file.

4.1 Select the IP Addresses

Before starting the configuration process you should select the IP addresses for the PC and the

PROFINET IO devices that will be connected so that they are all on the same network and have

the same subnet mask. For example:

IP Address Subnet Mask

PC 192.168.1.51 255.255.255.0

IO Device 1 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

IO Device 2 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

If the Ethernet port on your PC is connected to a corporate network, it would be advisable to

keep the PROFINET network separate. Some options are:

1. Use the existing Ethernet port:

•Disconnect the PC from the corporate network and connect it to the PROFINET network.

•Change the PC IP address and subnet mask to match the PROFINET network.

•Run ProfinetCommander software.

•When finished, connect the PC back to the corporate network.

•Restore the PC IP address and subnet mask back to their original settings.

2. Add a second Ethernet port to the PC:

•Connect it to the PROFINET network

•Set a fixed IP address and subnet mask to match the PROFINET network

•Run ProfinetCommander software.

4.2 Edit the Station Configuration

a) Execute the Station Configuration Editor by double-clicking its icon in the Windows

System Tray toolbar. It can also be called up from the desktop icon or the Start menu.

b) Use the “Station Name…” button to set the station name as desired (remember the name

because it must be used later when creating the PROFINET IO configuration).
