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.
