87 INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
88 ____________
90 FIELD DEVICE INTEGRATION (FDI) –
92 Part 103-4: PROFINET
94 FOREWORD

95 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national

96 electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co -operation on all

97 questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC

98 publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and

99 Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National

100 Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -

101 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the

102 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two

103 organizations.

104 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus

105 of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National

106 Committees.

107 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in

108 that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC

109 cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

110 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to

111 the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the

112 corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

113 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment

114 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by

115 independent certification bodies.

116 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

117 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its

118 technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature

119 whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of,

120 or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

121 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable

122 for the correct application of this publication.

123 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC

124 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

125 IEC 62769-103-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 65E: Devices and integration in enterprise systems,

126 of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an

127 International Standard.

128 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2021. This edition constitutes a

129 technical revision.

130 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

131 a) added DeviceType to ProfinetIdentificationT;
132 b) 1798added namespace to Annex A and Annex B;
133 c) added mapping rule for Device type when running in profile mode;
134 d) replaced GSD file with GSDML file, detailing of device type mapping;

142 with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available at

143 www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are described in

144 greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.

145 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability

146 date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific

147 document. At this date, the document will be

237 IEC 62769-4 defines a CommunicationProfileT string for the Catalog XML schema. The PROFINET

238 specific value shall be "profinet_io".
239 5.2.3 Profile device

240 A Profile Package shall provide the catalog values for profile devices, enabling the FDI Server to leverage

241 a generic device description, if a specific one is not available. The definitions in Table 3 focus on catalog

242 content that is vendor independent.
243 Table 3 – Catalog values for profile devices
Element Attribute Content
PackageType — Profile
Manufacturer — Empty

DeviceModel — Allowed profile identifier values (PROFILE_ID) are provided by PROFIBUS

& PROFINET International (PI). PI provides and maintains a XML file
(Profile_ID_Table) containing the assignment of PROFILE_ID to profiles.
It is available at
The file can be downloaded by any engineering or service tool whenever it's
connected to the Internet.
NOTE More information is provided in PI Order No.: 3.502 (I&M Profile) and
related profile definitions referred therein.
The string format shall be hexadecimal starting with 0x, e.g. ‘0x3D00’.
244
245 5.2.4 Protocol version information

246 IEC 62769-4 defines an element type named InterfaceT for the Catalog XML schema. The element type

247 InterfaceT contains an element named Version which is supposed to provide version information about

248 the applied communication protocol profile. The value has to follow the IEC 62769-4 defined version

249 information schema defined in the element type VersionT. Table 4 describes how to apply the currently

250 known protocol versions defined by the non-profit consortium PROFIBUS & PROFINET International. The

251 general rule is to apply the value “0” for parts of the version information according to IEC 62769-4 that are

252 not used in currently known protocol versions.

255 5.3 Associating a Package with a device
256 5.3.1 Device type identification mapping

257 The purpose of a device type identification mapping is to enable FDI host systems to compare the scan

258 result against the topology representation in the Information Model. FDI host systems shall also be enabled

259 to determine the FDI Device Package that fits for a device entry contained in the scan result. This will

260 enable the user of an FDI host system to synchronize the Information Model with the actual installation.

261 The communication server implemented scan service (defined in 5.6.1.7) provides a scan result through

262 an XML document (schema defined in Annex A).

263 The Gateway implemented scan service (defined in 5.6.2.7) provides a scan result by means of the

264 Information Model that contains data structures created from EDD content as specified in 5.6.2.7.

265 Common for both ways of presenting the scan result is that scan results contain device type identification

266 and device instance identification.

267 FDI host systems comparing the actual network topology configuration against the topology representation

268 in the Information Model shall be enabled to handle the following situations:

269 a) The physical Device instance identified at a specific device address is not logically present in the

270 Information model (as Instance): Enable the FDI Host system to find the appropriate FDI Device

271 package according to the device catalogue information.

272 b) The physical Device instance identified by the device address is logically present in the Information

273 Model (as Instance): Enable the FDI Host system to compare the device type information presented in

274 the scan result (see the identification in Clause A.6 and 5.6.2.7) and the device type specific

275 information of the Instance present in the Information Model.

276 The FDI Device package contains device type identification information that can be compared to the scan

277 result based on the Catalog Schema in IEC 62769-4 which defines the X
