Cabling with fixed connection setting
If you set a fixed connection setting of the port in STEP 7, you should also disable
"Autonegotiation/Autocrossover".
You can find more information on this topic in the STEP 7 online help and:
●As of STEP 7 V12, in the PROFINET with STEP 7 V13

●As of STEP 7 V5.5, in the system manual PROFINET System Description
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127)
Isochronous real-time communication
Synchronized transmission method for cyclic exchange of IRT data between PROFINET
devices. A reserved bandwidth within the send clock is available for IRT data. The reserved
bandwidth ensures that the IRT data can also be transferred without being affected by
another high network load (e.g. TCP/IP communication or additional real time
communication) at reserved, chronologically synchronized intervals.
A topological configuration is required for IRT.
Note
IO controller as sync master with IRT communication
We recommend also operating the IO controller as a sync master when configuring the IRT
communication.
Otherwise, IO devices with IRT and RT configuration could fail as a result of sync master
failure.
You can find more information on the configuration of synchronized PROFINET devices in
sync domains in the STEP 7 online help and:

Prioritized startup
Prioritized startup describes the PROFINET IO functionality for accelerating the startup of IO
devices in a PROFINET IO system with IRT and RT communication.
The function reduces the time that the appropriately configured IO devices require in order to
return to cyclic user data exchange in the following cases:
●After the supply voltage has returned
●After a station has returned
●After IO devices have been activated
Note
Dependency of the startup time
The interface module permits startup times from 0.9
s.
The startup time depends on the number and type of modules.

Device replacement
Device replacement without topological configuration
The device name is also stored on the BusAdapter in addition to the interface module. A
device name saved on the BusAdapter is the requirement for device replacement without
topological configuration.
Storing the name on the BusAdapter and the interface module produces a range of
scenarios for using the device name when the interface module is replaced.
Table 2- 2 Scenarios for using the device name
Interface module empty
Interface module with device
name
BusAdapter empty
No device name available The device name from the inter-
face module is used and copied
to the BusAdapter.
BusAdapter with device name
The device name from the
BusAdapter is used and copied
to the interface module.
The device name from the
BusAdapter is used and copied
to the interface module if this
has a different device name.

IM 155-6 PN ST interface module (6ES7155-6AU01-0BN0)
Manual, 04/2017, A5E03576904-AE 17
Be aware of the following constraints:
●Resetting to factory settings deletes the device name in both the interface module and the
BusAdapter. To prevent the device name from being deleted in the BusAdapter, you can
remove the BusAdapter from the interface module before resetting to factory settings.
●When a BusAdapter is replaced, a device name stored in the BusAdapter is applied to the
interface module after a POWER ON.
●Do not pull/plug the BusAdapter while under voltage. If you pull/plug the BusAdapter
while under voltage, the interface module restarts.
Device replacement with topological configuration
IO devices with this function can be replaced in a simple manner:
●The device name does not have to be assigned with the programming device.
The replacement IO device is assigned the device name by the IO controller and not by the
programming device. The IO controller uses the configured topology and the neighboring
relationships determined by the IO devices for this purpose. All involved devices must
support the LLDP protocol (Link Layer Discovery Protocol). The configured target topology
must match the actual topology.
IO devices that have already been used in another configuration should be reset to their
factory settings before reuse (see system manual ET 200SP distributed I/O system
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58649293)).

●As of STEP 7 V5.5, in the system manual PROFINET System Description
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127)
Replacement of an IM 155-6 PN ST
In a replacement scenario, any IO devices in operation must be reset to their as-delivered
state via "Reset to factory settings" (see the system manual ET 200SP distributed I/O
system (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58649293)).
Media redundancy (MRP)
Function for safeguarding communication and plant availability. A ring topology ensures that
an alternative communication path is made available if a transmission route fails.

●Make sure the configurations are consistent. In particular, modules or submodules may
only be assigned to one controller. Multiple assignment will result in an error; the module
or submodule will only be available in the first controller.
●If you reconfigure the shared device configurations without the validity check mentioned
above, you must commission the ET 200SP once again. This means that you have to
reload the projects of all involved IO controllers to the specific CPU after reconfiguration
and, if necessary, switch the interface module POWER OFF/POWER ON.

Note
In the case of a shared device application, make sure that all controllers work with the same
send clock. If
controllers do not have the same send clock, the differing send clock can result
in communication relationships that are not set up.
If you set up all controllers in one project, the same send clock is ensured. Set the same
send clock for engineering in se
parate projects.
Submodules
The IM 155-6 PN ST interface module supports the division of I/O modules into up to 4
submodules. This allows parts of an I/O module to be separately configured and
parameterized.
It is possible to assign each of these submodules to different IO controllers.
The functions:
●Firmware update
●Write I&M data
●Calibration
●PROFIenergy
can only be executed if you have configured submodule 1 during configuration.

Manual, 04/2017, A5E03576904-AE 19
Module-internal Shared Input/Shared Output (MSI/MSO)
The Module-internal Shared Input function allows an input module to make its input data
available to up to two IO controllers (for ET 200SP PN ST). Each controller has read access
to the same channels.
The Module-internal Shared Output function allows an output module to make its output data
available to up to two IO controllers. One IO controller has write access. A second IO
controller can have read access to the same channels.
