Abstract:In order to meet the high demand of the transmission rate and real-time performance in industrial control field, a real-time protocol of PROFINET for industrial Ethernet is proposed. The protocol has better real-time performance and higher transmission rate than the field bus technology. Firstly, the standard TCP/IP protocol was studied, and the optimization of the standard TCP/IP protocol for PROFINET was analyzed. Then, the frame structure of PROFINET RT and PROFINET IRT were analyzed in detail. The real-time analysis based on concrete data was introduced and this will be a certain reference for STEP7 configuration of Siemens. Finally, with the help of Siemens PROFINET IO devices and IO controller, through the configuration of Siemens STEP7, the communication between PROFINET IO devices were finally realized.
