Identification \ and Maintenance Functions

The so called “Identification & Maintenance Functions” in PROFINET® realize the reading of device specific information, e. g. serial number and order number. This information can be queried for every PROFINET® IO Device by means of the PNIO_IM0 Function Block.

Note

The IO Devices CI501-PNIO and CI502-PNIO supports exclusively I&M 0 function.

The I&M 0 function contains following information:

  • VendorID (WORD)
  • OrderID (STRING:20)
  • SerialNr (STRING:16)
  • HW-Revision (WORD)
  • SW-Revision (1 CHAR plus 3 x BYTE, e. g. V.1.2.3)
  • RevisionCounter (WORD)
  • ProfileID (WORD)
  • IM_ProfileSpecType (WORD)
  • IM_Version (2 x BYTE)
  • IM_supported (WORD)

The structure and the meaning of these information is specified in the PNO “Profile Guidelines Part 1: Identification & Maintenance Functions” (version 1.1.1, order number 3.502).
