1. Example project

In this example the application shall handle I&M data on application side. For that it is necessary to change the configuration packet, to implement the "write I&M indication" ,

the "read I&M indication" and the "reset to factory indication". For that the application needs a possibility to save information remanent in a flash.

Example Sourcecode can be found in the Extended Config Example: netX 90 - PROFINET IO Device - extendedConfig V2.2.0.0

2. Configuration Packet

In the configuration packet it is necessary to change the ptSetConfig→ulSystemFlags. First step is to disable the flag PNS_IF_SYSTEM_STACK_HANDLE_I_M_ENABLED.


The next step is the use of the same data in the configuration packet like in the I&M0 informations

For Example you can create first a structure of I&M0 and than use it:

ptSetConfig→ulVendorId = IM0.usManufacturerId;

ptSetConfig->usSwRevision1      = IM0.tSoftwareRevision.bX;

ptSetConfig->usSwRevision2      = IM0.tSoftwareRevision.bY;

ptSetConfig->usSwRevision3      = IM0.tSoftwareRevision.bZ;

ptSetConfig->bSwRevisionPrefix  = IM0.tSoftwareRevision.bPrefix;

3. GSDML

In the GSDML the device developer needs to give the information, which module has I&M data. Below you see the default configuration in our PNS V5.1.0.4 device. I&M is, at the moment, just configured for the DAP:

<VirtualSubmoduleItem ID="DIM 31" IM5_Supported="false" MayIssueProcessAlarm="false" SubmoduleIdentNumber="0x00003010" Writeable_IM_Records="1 2 3">

That means, I&M0 till 3 is supported. I&M4 and 5 are not supported. Only the DAP module has I&M Data.


It is possbile to use the Writeable_IM_Records="1 2 3 4" on a different module. For example:

<VirtualSubmoduleItem ID="10byteinput" MayIssueProcessAlarm="false" SubmoduleIdentNumber="0x00000001" Writeable_IM_Records="1 2">

That means the DAP has now I&M0 till 3 and the 10 Byte Input module has its own dataset for I&M0 till 2. In this case the I&M data handling needs to be implemented in your application, because the stack can only handle the default I&M data on the DAP.

4. Indications

Implement the packet handler Indications for

PNS_IF_READ_IM_IND

PNS_IF_WRITE_IM_IND


The stack does not know anything about the GSDML file. The stack first needs the information about supported I&M data. For that the stack sends, in startup, the

PNS_IF_READ_IM_IND with the parameter PNS_IF_IM_TYPE_IM0FILTER. That means the stack wants to get from the application the information which modules do support their own I&M data.

The application can response with some flags to this stack request.


For example the stack requests for Slot 0 and Subslot 1 (DAP):

The application sends back the response with these flags:

ptReadImRes->tData.tData.atIM0FilterData[0].ulFlags = PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_HAS_IM_DATA | PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_MODULE_REF | PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_DEVICE_REF;


PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_HAS_IM_DATA means, that the Modul has own I&M Data:

(The DAP has in data)

PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_MODULE_REF means, that the I&M data of this Modul are the reference for all Submoduls which belong to this modul:

(All other submoduls response with the I&M data from the DAP)

PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_DEVICE_REF this is used only one time (on the DAP) and means, that all other Moduls and Submoduls without own I&M data willrefer to this modul:

(All other soduls and submoduls response with the I&M data from the DAP)



That means GSDML with

DAP: <VirtualSubmoduleItem ID="DIM 31" IM5_Supported="false" MayIssueProcessAlarm="false" SubmoduleIdentNumber="0x00003010" Writeable_IM_Records="1 2 3">

For Slot 0 Subslot 1

ptReadImRes->tData.tData.atIM0FilterData[0].ulFlags = PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_HAS_IM_DATA | PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_MODULE_REF | PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_DEVICE_REF;


Modul: <VirtualSubmoduleItem ID="10byteinput" MayIssueProcessAlarm="false" SubmoduleIdentNumber="0x00000001" Writeable_IM_Records="1 2 ">

For Slot 2 Subslot 1

ptReadImRes->tData.tData.atIM0FilterData[0].ulFlags = PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_HAS_IM_DATA | PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_MODULE_REF;

(Slot 2 has its own I&M data and will not response the I&M data from the DAP)

(For the Modul not marked yellow only ptReadImRes->tData.tData.atIM0FilterData[0].ulFlags = PNS_IF_IM0_FILTER_DATA_HAS_IM_DATA; is necessary, because no submoduls)


More informations to I&M can be found on How to deal with I&M data? (Updated 2016-12-20)

5. Indication implementation

I&M0 is allways only read. In a PNS_IF_WRITE_IM_IND comes for I&M0, than this can not be correct. I&M0 has the value usIMRevisionCounter. This must be updatet as soon as I&M1 till 4 go written.

I&M1 till 4 is read/write and need to be saved remanent on the application flash

I&M5 is allwasy only read.

That means each write and read can come for a slot with a subslot and the application need to ckeck if the combination of reaquested slot and sbuslot, write or read is really possbile.
