An Introduction to Profinet Frame Analysis using Wireshark – V1.0 (07/05/2013)

2Objectives

• To gain an understanding of the way in which PROFINET devices communicate with one another over Ethernet.

• To learn how to capture the PROFINET Frames using Wireshark®.

• To analyse the captured frames to gain an understanding and purpose of the various protocols.

• This is a topic covered in more detail in the Certified Profinet Engineers Course

3What is Wireshark?

• Wireshark® is a network protocolanalyser. It lets you capture andinteractively browse the traffic running ona computer network.

• It is not dedicated to Proifinet and as suchcannot be compared to ProfiTrace.

• It is free to download and available fromwww.wireshark.org

14Common Protocols

• PNIO-DCP – Name / IP Address Assignment• PNIO-CM – Start-up Services.• PNIO – Cyclic IO Data Exchange

• PN-PTCP – Time Syncronisation• PNIO-AL – Acyclic Alarms / Events

• ARP – IP Address – MAC Address Lookup• LLDP – Device Identity & Properties.

15Protocol Usage: Start-up to Data Exchange

Assign Device Name *

PNIO-DCP / ARP Assign IP Address

Establish Connection

PNIO-DCP or LLDP

PNIO-CM

PNIO Data Exchange

IO Device confirms Name SET

IO Device confirms IP Address SET

Connection Established

* DEVICE NAME ASSIGNMENT

Device Names can be set up Manually, prior to connecting to the network, or Automatically on power-up.

Manual name assignment uses PNIO-DCPand tools such as the Primary Set-Up Toolfrom Siemens or Netilities from Procentec.

Automatic name assignment uses theLLDP protocol and requires the use of a Profinet Topology Configuration Tool.
