Features

The features of the Profinet Devices are stored in electronic data sheet GSDML.

There are two different GSDML files:

The file GSDML-V2.32-AMK-AX PNS-20160713.xml (version of July 13, 2016 or later) describes the controller as a device, data modules can be exchanged in different data widths.
GSDML-V2.32-AMK-AX PNS DRV-20160526.xml (Version of May 26, 2016 or later) describes the controller as gateway to a maximum of 8 drives. A 32 byte process data module (input and output data) is permanently exchanged with each drive.

GSDML files are freely available from AMK and are part of the AIPEX PRO programming environment.

The A-SPN option provides the following Profinet-specific features:

Analysis network status

The actual network status can be analyzed with the PLC program by the function 'FuiGetNetStatus' (uichannel:=2, uiAxis:=0).

State:

Bit 0 = Profinet IO Device Initialization completed without error (ready for operation)

Bit 1 = not used

Bit 2 = Error

Bit 4 = 'Operational' mode is active

See documentSoftware description AmkLibraries (Part no. 205210), AmkBase Bibliothek - Function FuiGetNetStatus (F).
