Configuration of Non-ABB PROFINET IO Devices

A PROFINET IO device can be added by right-clicking on CM579_Master (CM579-PNIO-Master) and selecting Add device.

The Add Device dialog appears where all available PROFINET IO devices are listed.

If the desired device is not listed you can add this device to the Device Repository by installing the associated GSDML-File (via Tools ‣ Device Repository ‣ Install…).

The device parameters are edited in the PROFINET IO device dialog, which is divided into 2 tab-sheets:

  • PNIO Parameters
  • PNIO Configuration.

To open the PROFINET IO device dialog, double-click on the desired device in the configuration tree.
