C79000-G8976-C129–06
TCP/IP
TCP = Transport Connection Protocol; IP = Internet Protocol
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. User Datagram Protocol: datagram service for simple
internetwork transmission without acknowledgment.
B.3 PROFInet
Component based Automation
Concept for implementing modular, distributed automation applications on the
basis of open standards and data communication.
Component based Automation is an expansion of Totally Integrated Automation
(TIA).
Device
In Component based Automation: part of the PROFInet component that contains
the hardware–specific data of the PROFInet component. In SIMATIC iMap, a
device is the software representation of the physical device for which the
PROFInet component was created. It is displayed in the network view of
SIMATIC iMap as an object with one or more bus attachments. The following
distinction is made according to the communication functionality: –> PROFInet
devices and –> PROFIBUS devices.
Interconnection
General: Logical data connection between two objects. In SIMATIC iMap:
Connection between two technological functions. An output is interconnected
with an input of the same type. Interconnections are represented in SIMATIC
iMap by lines.
Network view
View of the devices and the networks (Ethernet, PROFIBUS) in SIMATIC iMap.
Plant view
View of the technological functions of the automation system and its
interconnections in SIMATIC iMap. One chart is displayed in the plant view.
