3. ProfiNet communication configuration

◆ It should be considered the data transmission configured in the FH to configure the IO-Controller
accordingly.
◆ It will be shown two communication examples:
➢ FH-series (IO-Device) with CJ1W-PNT21 (IO-Controller).
➢ FH-series (IO-Device) with Siemens PLC S7-1500 series (IO-Controller).

3.1. FH-series configuration:

For the different Output data sizes (with/without User Area) configurations refer to Vision System FH
Series - User’s Manual for Communications Settings (Z342-E1-10).
In this example, it will be defined 128 Bytes as Output data size without User Area. Operation mode
will be ‘Standard’ but could be configured with Multi-line mode following the same steps described
below.

1
Startup FZ-PanDA Tool.

Click [Tool] – [System Settings] –

[Ethernet((Normal(UDP))]:

➢ Set IP address under Address

setting 2 (‘192.168.0.100’ for
our example).
➢ Click [Apply].

2
Click [Tool] – [System Settings] –
[Communication] tab and select
PROFINET as Fieldbus.

6

3 Click [Startup setting] under

Startup tab in System Settings
configuration tree.

➢ Operation mode: Standard.

➢ Click [Apply].

Restart the FH to apply the

changes.

4
Click [PROFINET] under
Communication tab in System
Settings configuration tree.

➢ Judge output polarity: ON at

➢ Error output polarity: ON at
error.
➢ Output control: None.
➢ Output period [ms]: 10.0
➢ Output time [ms]: 10.0
➢ Timeout [s]: 10.0
➢ Output data size: Result Data
Format 2 (128Byte).
➢ User Area: OFF.
➢ Click [Apply].

5
Close configuration window: Click
[Close].

Save the modifications: Click

[Function] – [Data save] – [OK].
