Hello Aslp, which PLC have you installed here? I didn't get what exactly you want to know? Is Idevice configuration the issue here? Maybe this link will already help you (starting at page 96): http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127 |

Hello Aslp yes you can do safety related communication between an I/O controller and I-device via Profinet. Have a look at chapter 9 in general and 9.4 in particular of theSIMATIC Industrial Software SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming manual for more info on how to do so. Note that the above manualis written for TIA Portal Step 7 and that the same infois unfortunately missing from thecorresponding "classic" Step 7 related Distributed Safety - configuring and programming manual. This is most likley due to the fact that S7 PN I-Devices weren't aroundyet when the latter manual was last updated. I'd say it should work in the same way though if you use the "classic" Step 7, but you may to want check with Siemens to be sure (and ask them for a manual update too). I hops this helps |

Hello Aslp
Yes, it is mandatory to use these for your Profinet I/O controller <-> I-device safety related data exchange. "F_SENDDP" and "F_RCVDP" add and handle the required timeout mechanism and safety related checks to the communication to create the profisafe message. Note that you configure 12 Bytes of Inputs and 6 Bytes of Outputs each way, but only exchange 6 Bytes of real user data via it (16 Bools and 2 INT's), the rest is used for the Profisafe part). Sorry, no you can not.
It will not work that way (at least not as a safety related message, see above for more).
Idoubt that that is correct, where did you get that example from? FB225 and FB226 ("F_SENDS7" and "F_RCVS7") are used for safety related data exchange via a configured S7 connection. In your case it is Profinet I/O based and you would use FB223 and FB224 ("F_SENDDP" and "F_RCVDP") in both CPU's. I hope this helps |
