Diagnostic signals via PROFINET

    Hi there!


    KRC 8.6.5.

    KR 360 R2830.


    In our projects we are communicating with the PLC (S7-1500 F) with Profinet/Profisafe and that works great for us (.

    But in the Profinet manual chapter 8.5 "Diagnostic signals via PROFINET", there seems to be and extended signal exchange to the controller (Output Byte 0 - 8).


    Do I need to activate it some how (both in WoV and TIA)? I can´t see it in the ordinary signal exchange and can´t get my head around it how it works really.


    For a project we are doing at the moment there is a coupe of signal that I want, and if we could get this working there is no need for me to handle them in the KRL code.


    Thanks in advance

    Hi massula,


    No thats the ordinary saftey exchange described in chapter 5.8 "Safety functions via PROFIsafe".

    We are using Safe Operations so we got 8 bytes of outputs there but not all the signal described in 8.5 "Diagnostic signals via PROFINET".

    I don't understand the problem.
    You have 64 safe inputs/outputs. I think they are automatically mapped in WoV.

    So you can immediately use them in your Siemens FailSafe PLC safety program.


    Output address Q5500.0 is Local E-STOP

    Output address Q5500.1 is Drives Enable

    Output address Q5500.2 is Motion Enable

    ...


    I think you cannot just monitor the Safety Inputs unless they are used in the Safety program...

    So you might have all of the Safety I/O-s in some Tag table and you just monitor them and it seems like nothing is coming through...


    But use the inputs in a safety program and then you can monitor them.

    The problem is NOT the standard 64 safe inputs/outputs, Everything in the safety work exactly as it should so don´t mind them,


    According to them manual there is 8 other bytes with even more data (that concerns safety and safe operation).


    But I don´t know how to access them (Get them out to the fieldbus since I can't see them in the IO-mapping in WoV).


    Chapter 8.5 in the Profinet Manual.
