1 Foreword
PROFINET, an open industrial Ethernet standard, is especially well-suited for applications that require fast communication
with a high data rate combined with industrial IT functions.
PROFINET is real-time capable and uses IT standards like TCP/IP while also allowing the integration of fieldbus systems.
The 6th generation of STOBER drive controllers support PROFINET IO, a development of the successful PROFIBUS DP
standard.
The drive controllers are tailored for real-time communication of I/O data and offer the ability to transfer all required data,
parameters and IT functions at the same time.
For drive controllers of the SD6 series, the fieldbus functionality is provided via the PN6 communication module.

4 Network structure
A PROFINET network generally consists of a PROFINET segment with an IO controller and all IO devices belonging to this
area, i.e. drive controllers of the SD6 series and a PC as the IO supervisor.
The PROFINET network structure is generally tailored to the specific requirements of the respective system. STOBER drive
controllers support a star, line or tree topology.
All IO standard devices are integrated into the PROFINET network using internal or external switches (100Mbps).
You can configure and parameterize the drive controllers using the DS6 DriveControlSuite software from STOBER; Siemens
TIA Portal lets you do this for the entire PROFINET network, for instance.
The following graphic presents an abstract of a PROFINET network; the devices displayed have internal switches.

5 PN6 communication module
The drive controllers of the SD6 series are connected to a higher-level controller using PN6 communication modules, which
provide the necessary fieldbus interfaces.
The communication modules match the PROFINET IO standard and enable cyclical and acyclical data exchange between the
drive controllers and the controller.
5.1 Installation
Installation work is permitted only when no voltage is present. Observe the five safety rules.
Note the minimum clearances listed in the technical data during installation in order to prevent the drive controller from
overheating.
Protect the device against falling parts (wire scraps, wires, pieces of metal, etc.) during installation or other work in the
control cabinet. Parts with conductive properties may result in a short circuit or failure inside the drive controller.
Remove the additional covers before commissioning so that the drive controller does not overheat.
DANGER!
Electrical voltage! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
▪ Always switch off all power supply voltage before working on the devices!
▪ Note the discharge time of the DC link capacitors in the general technical data. You can only determine the absence
of voltage after this time period.
ATTENTION!
Damage to property due to electrostatic discharge!
Take appropriate measures when handling exposed circuit boards, e.g. wearing ESD-safe clothing.
Do not touch contact surfaces.
Tool and material
You will need:
§A TORX screwdriver TX10
§The cover and screws included with the communication module
Installation
1. Unscrew the fastening screw of the dummy cover on top of the drive controller and remove the cover.
2. Slide the communication module on the guide rails into the drive controller.
3. Press on the module in order to push the pin contacts into the box header.
4. Set the tabs of the cover included with the communication module in front in the notch at an angle.
5. Place the cover on the drive controller so that the tabs lie under the edge.
6. Attach the cover using both screws.

6 | Connection STOBER
14
11/2019 | ID 442710.03
6 Connection
For network connection, PROFINET only allows switches; these in turn allow for flexible network topology and nearly
unlimited network expansion of several kilometers at maximum speed.
6.1 Selecting suitable lines
The PROFINET transmission technology is based on the Fast Ethernet standard.
A PROFINET network generally consists of symmetrical, shielded copper cables twisted in pairs (shielded twisted pair, CAT
5e quality level).
Signals are transmitted according to the 100BASE TX method, i.e. with a transfer rate of 100Mbps at a frequency of
125MHz.
A maximum of 1440bytes can be transferred per frame. The maximum cable length is 100m.
PROFINET cables exist in different versions that are tailored to different application scenarios and ambient conditions.
We recommend using the cables specified in the PROFINET installation guidelines. They are adjusted for use in automation
technology with regard to usage, resistance, EMC properties and color coding.
There are type A, B and C cables, differentiated by installation type:
§Type A
4-wire shielded copper cable for fixed installation
§Type B
4-wire shielded copper cable for flexible installation
§Type C
4-wire shielded copper cable for constant movements
6.2 X200, X201: Fieldbus connection
In order to be able to connect the drive controllers to other PROFINET nodes, an integrated switch with both X200 and X201
RJ-45 sockets is provided. The sockets are located on top of the device. The associated pin assignment and color coding
correspond to the EIA/TIA-T568B standard.
