1 Introduction
1.1 About this Training Manual
This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to commission
and configure a PROFINET IO Controller (master) by using the SYCON.net
configuration software. How to read input data and how to write output data
by using the I/O monitor is described for the SYCON.net configuration
software and the cifX Test auxiliary tool.
The procedures are exemplified by using a cifX PC card. They can,
however, also be applied to the comX and netJACK communication
modules.
1.2 Required Hardware and Software
Prerequisite for the described commissioning and configuration example is
a proper installation of all necessary hardware and software components.

PCI slot
•1 x CIFX 50-RE acting as Real-Time Ethernet master (requires master
license)
•1 x NXIO 50-RE Real-Time Ethernet slave with power supply unit
•1 x CIFX 50-RE acting as Real-Time Ethernet slave
•2 x Ethernet cable (CAT5)
Software

network, which are displayed under Configuration >General, can be
adjusted via the master.
Note: In PROFINET IO, unequivocal addressing takes place via the
station name, not via the IP address. Nonetheless, correct IP addressing
– set in the master configuration – is necessary.
Note: The real station name and the IP address of full-scale Hilscher
slaves can be set via Stand-Alone Slave, Hilscher master or by using the
Ethernet Device Configuration tool.
