Profinet test

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi Sir :

I work on TI AM335x IDK platform, the tools's version are as below.

CCS V6

am335x_sysbios_ind_sdk_1.1.0.8

bios_6_41_04_54

ndk_2_24_01_18

xdctools_3_30_06_67_core

Now, I want to test Profinet, but I do not know how to test.

 I wonder if TI have document that shows how to test profinet.

 Could you give me some suggestion?

 Best regards,

 Marcus

    Hi,

    In our SDK we have released a Profinet Slave. Now, to test it you will need a master. One option is that you can download a test bundle from PNIO website which has few testing tools which come with a set of test-cases. Following is the link:

    http://www.profibus.com/nc/download/software-and-tools/downloads/profinet-io-test-bundle/display/

    This bundle has test tools SPIRTA and PROFINET IO TESTER. 

    Second option is to use a  Profinet PLC. 

    Regards,

    Robin

    Hi Sir :

    I appreciate your reply!

    Since I do not have the authority to download the AP, so I can not use software to test TI's Profinet.

    I can try to use Profinet PLC, do you have document that describes how to test Profinet using PLC?

    Best regards,

    Marcus

    Hi,

    As far as our slave is concerned you need GSD file to make it work with PLC.
    You can go through online tutorials or help section which we comes to PLC software to learn on how to use PLC.

    Hi,

    We have following document in SDK which you can refer:

    ti\sysbios_ind_sdk_2.1.0.1\sdk\protocols\profinet_slave\Docs\Molex-TI-AM335x-devkit-How to get connected using STEP7-CPU300.pdf

    It describes how you can connect the slave to PLC.

    Hi Robin :

    I have studied Molex-TI-AM335x-devkit-How to get connected using STEP7-CPU300.pdf and use Siemens SIMATIC Step7 V5.5 to set up profinet.

    However, I think I also need PLC program to test TI's Profinet Stack, am I right?

    The document only states the configuration but did not mention what is the test result, in other words, what should I get during the test.

    Is there more detail document or should I contact Molex directly?

    Please give me your suggestion!

    Best regards,

    Marcus

    Hi Marcus,

    That document clearly describes how you can create a PLC program. We don't provide PLC program in our SDK and we expect that customers should be able to write the PLC programs.

    Once you have the write PLC program, then it should be able to eastablish a stable profinet connection with the slave device. If you take a trace of frames between the PLC and slave then you should see PPM and CPM frames being exchanged between them. PPM and CPM frames carry the process data which is used by the application.

    Yes, you can go ahead and contact Molex.

    Regards,

    Robin
