If the IO-controller is starting or started, each connection will be automatically released by the firmware, even if the connection is in manual management. If the IO-controller is stopping (stop sequence), the firmware will continue the stop sequence up to the end and then will initiate again a start sequence. If the IO-controller is stopped, the IO-controller will be started.
PROFINET Controller ME1PN1FW-Q 13 IOD_START_STOP_DEV Registers With these 128 bits the PLC specifies, which command will be executed when the corresponding command handshake flag (see IOD_CMD_HSK_Y) is set. These registers are relevant only for devices, which are in manual management mode (see IOD_MGT_MODE).

14 GX Configurator-PN Example for Starting PROFINET Communication If the data exchange mode for an IO device is set to 'automatic' (corresponding bit in IOD_MGT_MODE is 0), the cyclic data exchange with the device is automatically initiated, when the PROFINET Controller is started by setting IOC_START_STOP.
PROFINET Controller ME1PN1FW-Q 15 handshake mechanism exists to ensure consistency on all variables. This mechanism is optional and can be activated and deactivated per device. Input and Output Data Alignment The IO-device input and output areas in the buffer memory of the PROFINET Controller are word-aligned. PROFINET variables are located in the shared memory by respecting the following rules The data of each PROFINET IO-device is placed at an address on a word boundary, independent of its type.

18 GX Configurator-PN Access to Input Data The following procedure must be followed, if the ‘Input consistency flag’ corresponding to the station is set.
PROFINET Controller ME1PN1FW-Q 19 Access to Output Data The following procedure must be followed, if the ‘Output consistency flag’ corresponding to the station is set. Cycle 1: 1. The PLC CPU detects that the output buffer is free because values of the handshake flags are equal (0:0 for cycle 1) 2. The PLC CPU writes the output data to the OUTPUT_DATA buffer 3. The PLC CPU toggles its handshake flag (0 -> 1 for cycle 1) 4.
20 GX Configurator-PN 5. The PROFINET Controller reads the output data from buffer memory 6. The PROFINET Controller signals that the output buffer is free by toggling its bit to equal that of the PLC CPU (1 -> 0 for cycle 2) 7. The cycle 2 is completed 2.1.3 Acyclic Communication Area The acyclic communication is an exchange of request and response messages between the PROFINET Controller and each IO-device station. The message exchange must be initiated by the controller.

User Interface 169 the other CPUs, provided that they support refresh blocks and device addresses. The following screenshots show the corresponding input of send devices in GXW2 and in GXPN marked with the same color. While the 'Multiple CPU Settings' dialog provides a single user interface for setting send and receive devices on all CPUs, in GXW2 the user must enter the send and receive devices in the GXW2 project of the respective CPU separately.

User Interface 171 Configuring Receive CPU Devices The configuration of receive devices is mostly equivalent to that of send devices. In the 'Multiple CPU Settings' dialog the receive devices are entered in the settings of the refresh block, they are associated with. The refresh block is always listed under the sending CPU.
172 GX Configurator-PN Using GXW2 the receive devices are entered in the GXW2 project of the receiving CPU. GXW2 PLC project 1 GXW2 PLC project 2 If no CPU device is configured for an auto refresh block, the shared memory can be accessed by its memory address in U\G device address format. The U\G device addresses of the refresh blocks are displayed in the documentation view.
User Interface 173 7.10.1.4 User Library Export In case a GXW2 or a GID project path have been assigned to a QnU-Model CPU in the 'Multiple CPU Settings' dialog, GX Configurator-PN generates a user library for accessing the PROFINET data in GID and GXW2 projects. If a GID project path has been assigned, the user library is generated in a sub folder of the GID project directory. This corresponds to the process for GXW2 projects in workspace format as described in 'GX Works2 Support.
174 GX Configurator-PN Example: Error Handling when Updating GX Works2 Projects GXW2 Missing or Version older than 1.87R GX Configurator-PN identifies the GXW2 installation directory via specific registry entries. It then loads the 'Call DLL' module from that directory to interact with GXW2. If the GXW2 installation is missing, the module cannot be loaded or the installed version of GXW2 is not at least 1.87R, GXPN cannot access the GXW2 project.
User Interface 175 GXW2 Project Missing If the project does not exist, an error message is displayed. GXW2 Project Already Open If the project is already open in another instance of GXW2, an error message is displayed, when the project is updated. GXW2 Project is ‘Simple Type’ If the GXW2 project is not a ‘structured’, but a ‘simple’ type project, the parameters in the project can be updated, however the user library cannot be added.
176 GX Configurator-PN Note: the user library file is however generated and not removed, after the above message has been displayed. GXW2 Project is Password Protected If a password is set for a GXW2 project, the user is prompted for credentials when accessing the GXW2 project. This dialog is displayed during the update when retrieving the current settings from the GXW2 project of the first QnU-CPU and for each GXW2 project with password protection, when it is updated.
User Interface 177 Parameters in GXW2 Project are Locked Write access to parameters in a GXW2 project can be disabled via the ‘Tool->Options’ menu item in GXW2. If the flag marked above has been cleared, GX Configurator-PN cannot update the parameters and displays the following message. 7.10.2 'Update Parameters' Dialog Whenever the PROFINET or the multi-CPU configuration is changed, settings in the CPUs and the corresponding PLC projects must be updated.

Note: this option is only displayed, if the project contains an NC CPU.
180 GX Configurator-PN Checking CPU Types If the user has chosen to also update the CPUs online, GX Configurator-PN first connects to each CPU and determines its type. If the connection fails, an error message is displayed.
User Interface 181 If PLC projects are updated, the CPU type of the PLC project can only be determined for GX Works2 projects. If the GXW2 project is not for a QnU-CPU, the following error is displayed and the update is aborted. Update of PLC Projects and Parameter Files If paths to projects or parameter files have been assigned in the 'Multiple CPU Settings' dialog, these projects/files are updated as well.
182 GX Configurator-PN The I/O assignment must be identical on all CPUs. Therefore GX Configurator-PN copies the I/O assignment from the first QnU-CPU to the other CPUs, handling the following situations: 1. the first QnU-CPU has a PLC project path assigned and the GD/GID/GXW2 project contains an I/ O assignment with at least the same number of CPUs as in the GXPN configuration -> I/O assignment from the GD/GID/GXW2 project is copied to all CPUs including the first QnUCPU itself 2.

184 GX Configurator-PN 7.10.3 'PROFINET Controller Status' Dialog This dialog displays the current status of the PROFINET controller and provides means to start/stop the data exchange in the PROFINET network. It retrieves the multi-CPU settings including the buffer device addresses online from the CPUs independently of the current GX Configurator-PN configuration. Only the IP address of the PN controller and the transfer setup for the QnU-CPU are taken from the current project.
User Interface 185 Start/Stop PROFINET The data exchange on the PN controller can only be started, if the controller is configured and not already running (controller status ‘PROFINET stopped’). The start flag is set, after the user has confirmed the request. In case the PN controlling CPU is not in RUN mode, the user is asked, whether the CPU should be started as well.
186 GX Configurator-PN Incorrect Status Due to 'MODE' Switch If the status displays 'Not configured', the reason may not be a missing PROFINET configuration. The 'RUN/STOP/MODE' switch on the ME1PN1FW-Q must be in the 'RUN' position, otherwise any status information from the PROFINET Controller may be incorrect. 7.11 Aboutbox The 'about box' shows the version and copyright notice.

PLC Code for PROFINET Controller 209 The automatic refresh executed by the Qn-CPU automatically copies the output contents from the buffer devices to the transfer buffers in shared memory and the input contents in the opposite direction. The global variables reference these buffer devices. Thus a read/write access by the PLC program to a global variable equals a read/write access to the respective buffer device.

212 GX Configurator-PN 9 Appendix 9.1 Troubleshooting 9.1.1 Factory Default Settings Problem The ME1PN1FW-Q cannot be accessed from GX Configurator-PN, although network address settings and cabling are correct. Solution To reset the ME1PN1FW-Q to its factory default settings execute the following operations. Important: the ME1PN1FW-Q must be placed alone in the first slot (marked 'CPU') of the PLC backplane and the CF card must be removed from its card reader slot! ).
Appendix 213 11. confirm that after a while both RUN and USER LEDs turn off and the MODE LED flashes green Note: for the following steps the controlling Qn-CPU can be inserted into the PLC rack and the PROFINET Controller module can be moved to the slot next to it, after power has been turned off. Activate the PROFINET functionality on the ME1PN1FW-Q with these operations 1. insert the CF card with the PROFINET I/O software and reset the module. 2. wait, until the 7-segment LED shows 'AA' 3.
214 GX Configurator-PN Remote Procedure Call (RPC) This protocol is based on TCP/UDP. It is used to execute the connection phase to an IO-Device together with all data block read/write accesses. Real Time Acyclic (RTA) This protocol is based on Ethernet (level 2). This protocol is used to exchange alarms between the IO-Device and the IO-Controller. Real Time Cyclic (RTC) This protocol is based on Ethernet (level 2). This protocol is used to exchange cyclic input/output data.
Appendix 215 Note that all the IO-Devices present have a unique name (sensor.stage1, sensor.stage2 and probe.tank1). However, the IP addresses of these IO-Devices remain set to 0.0.0.0. During a connection phase, the IO-Controller starts by searching for an IO-Device using a multicast request commonly called "identify". When the IO-Device replies, the IO-Controller checks if the IP parameters of the IO-Device are definitely those configured.
216 GX Configurator-PN During the connection, the IO-Controller assigns the IP address to each of the IO-Devices. After this, the PROFINET network is correctly configured. IP address conflicts have been avoided. The whole of this sequence is made possible by the DCP protocol. Architecture of an IO-Device The PROFINET IO input/output devices obey a uniform device model. This model allows compact field devices to be configured as modules.
Appendix 217 The GSD files are provided by the manufacturer of your equipment. Data Exchange (I/O) The exchange of input/output data in PROFINET-IO is based on the producer/consumer model. This model is asynchronous. The IO-Controller produces outputs for the IO-Device and the IO-Controller consumes inputs from the IO-Device and vice versa. The refresh period determines the production/consumption time. This time is defined for each IO-Device.
218 GX Configurator-PN In the example above, the IO-Device is made up of: 1 2-byte input module 1 1-byte input module 1 2-byte output module For the IO-Device taken in the example, with 2 process output bytes and 3 input bytes, the IO-Controller has to manage 7 input bytes and 6 output bytes.
