The first 4 chapters of the base information model include the object types for the internal module/submodule structure of a PROFINET device and controller.

Figure 17 shows a simplified example for a module/submodule object structure. The container folders have been skipped in the figure.

image021.png

Figure 17 – Object Structure

The Device View includes devices in the PROFINET network and their real existing modules and submodules.

The Controller / Application View includes the PROFINET connections (Application Relationships) and the expected modules and submodules which have been configured in the PROFINET controller.

Both views relate to each other by non-hierarchical references.

The chapter 6.3.1.7 includes the object types for the PROFINET network mapping.

The chapter 6.3.1.8 includes the 2 object types for the asset identification within a PROFINET device.

All object instances of the base information model represent the online view on the PROFINET network.

All PROFINET objects modeled in this specification are only created in the address space when the OPC UA Server detects their PROFINET counterpart. The objects are removed from the address space when the OPC UA Server detects their absence in the PROFINET network or PROFINET device.

The chapter 6.10 of [PN TAD] describes the possible ways of implementing the PROFINET device discovery. The chapter 11.3 of [PN TAD] describes the detection of the real modules and real submodules of a device and how to get their identification and asset data.

All these ContainerType objects only exist if objects are available in the container.

If the IM component is provided, it must contain the data of the representative submodule for the device in accordance with the I&M0FilterDataDevice block (See [PN TAD] – Identification & Maintenance).

The Assets and IM objects are optional. If the interface is used with the OPC UA facet model, the asset data can be part of another facet (See chapter 6PROFINET OPC UA Information Model” and Figure 16 – “Facet” modelling approach for I4.0 System Modelling).

The <Assets> objects are only assets which are directly related to this device. Assets related to the modules or submodules are components of these objects.

The server may provide diagnosis data with the Diagnosis variable or by sending PnDiagnosisAlarmType events. The diagnosis data at the device object includes the diagnosis information of the whole device including the one of all real modules and real submodules. An OPC UA Server might provide instances of the PnDiagnosisAlarmType as objects under the Alarms object.

This chapter includes all object types needed to represent the physical network topology of a PROFINET network.

Figure 18 shows an example which illustrates the relations between network objects of a single port PROFINET device and a 4 port Ethernet switch.

image022.png

Figure 18 – Network Topology

The Ethernet interface, ports and cables are represented by objects in the address space. This Ethernet objects relate to each other by CommLinkTo references. This enables the OPC UA Server to represent the physical network topology of the PROFINET network.
