PROFINET devices with proxy functionality = Generic<br />

<strong>Configuring</strong> PROFINET IO Devices<br />

The PROFINET device with proxy functionality is the substitute equivalent of a<br />

PROFIBUS device on the Ethernet. The proxy functionality allows a PROFIBUS<br />

device to communicate not only with its master but also with all nodes on<br />

PROFINET.<br />

With this proxy functionality, there are no problems in integrating existing<br />

PROFIBUS systems into PROFINET communication.<br />

For example, if you connect a PROFIBUS device to PROFINET by means of an<br />

IE/PB link, the IE/PB link establishes the communication via PROFINET as a<br />

substitute for the PROFIBUS-components.<br />
