Objectives
• A demonstration of some of the tools available
for performing online diagnostics on
PROFINET networks using Netilities from
Procentec, the BC-502-PN from Softing, the
Ethernet Frame Analyser Wireshark® and
PRONETA from Siemens.
• We shall be monitoring a PROFINET system
made up of hardware from Siemens, Wago,
Moxa, Murr. Procentec & Softing.

Ethernet Switches
• PROFINET networks make extensive
use of switches.
• Simply plugging in a monitoring tool into
a spare port on the switch will not work
because switches only send messages to
the port to which the intended receiving
device is connected.
• To overcome this we set up one port as
a mirrored port (usually a feature of
managed switches).
• Make sure the mirrored port is bi-
directional.

7
SETTING UP A MIRRORED PORT

Monitoring Ports
• Choosing which port to monitor is very important.
• If the switch you are monitoring has only one
outgoing connection to the IO Devices (Switch A)
then set the mirror port to monitor the outgoing
port.
IO Controller Switch A Switch B
Set Mirror port to Monitor this
port

Monitoring Ports
• If the switch you are monitoring has several IO
Devices, each connected to a port of its own, (Switch
B) then set the mirror port to monitor the port that
connects the switch to the IO Controller.
• If the diagnostic tool you are using needs to send out
DCP_IDENT requests then you will need a second
connection to a spare (non-mirrored) port on your
switch.

which port to mirror and
whether or not you need two

PROFINET & TAPS
IN OUT
USB
• If you do not have a switch that supports
port mirroring, an alternative is to use a
TAP.
• Taps have two RJ45 ports and are
connected in series with the device(s) that
you want to monitor.
• The PC connects to the Tap via a USB
interface.
• By definition, the installing of a tap
requires you to disrupt the network when
installing it.
• Note – This is NOT a bi-directional device
- i.e. it is only a listener.

Netilities
Netilities is a pc-based engineering tool for monitoring the
status of a PROFINET network. It has features similar to the
PROFIBUS analyser ProfiTrace such as Live List, Bargraph,
Statistics and Report Generation.

BC502-PN
The BC502-PN is a hardware-based PROFINET monitor
designed for permanent connection to the PROFINET network.
The diagnostics are then presented in real time via an in-built
web server. It has the advantage of not requiring a mirrored
port to connect to the network.

Wireshark®
• Wireshark® is a network protocol analyser.
It lets you capture and interactively browse
the traffic running on a computer network.
• It is not dedicated to PROFINET and as
such cannot be compared to ProfiTrace.
• It is free to download and available from
www.wireshark.org

analyse PROFINET traffic during the
following events:-
– Start-Up
– Data Exchange
– Loss of Module
– Loss of Communications
– Duplicate Device Name

Common Protocols seen on PROFINET
• PNIO-DCP – Device Name / IP Address Assignment
• PNIO-CM – Start-up Services between an IO
Controller and each IO Device.
• PNIO – Cyclic IO Data Exchange
• PN-PTCP – Time Syncronisation
• PNIO-AL – Acyclic Alarms / Events
• ARP – IP Address – MAC Address Lookup
• LLDP – Device Identity & Properties.

PNIO-CM
PNIO Cyclic Data Exchange
IO Device confirms Name SET

* DEVICE NAME ASSIGNMENT
Device Names can be set up Manually,
During configuration (or device replacement)
or Automatically on power-up.
Manual name assignment - Tools such as
Proneta from Siemens or Netilities from
Procentec provide this facility. Manual name
assignment uses PNIO-DCP (Discovery &
Control Protocol).
Automatic name assignment uses the
LLDP (Link Layer Discover Protocol) and
PNIO-DCP and requires the use of a
PROFINET Topology Configuration Tool.
