Diagnostics
The following diagnostics is possible using the display and
control keys, web interface or STEP 7:
•
Operating state of the IE/AS-i LINK PN IO
•
State of the link as a PROFINET IO device
•
Diagnostics of the AS-Interface network
•
Message frame statistics
•
Standard diagnostics pages in the web interface for fast diag-
nostics access through Ethernet using a standard browser
•
Reporting of diagnostic events is optionally possible via e-mail
or SNMP trap. The integrated diagnostic buffer saves the
events including time stamp.
Notes on safety
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks
against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and contin-
uously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security
concept. Siemens products and solutions represent only one
component of such a concept.

Configuration
The IE/AS-i LINK PN IO is configured as follows:
•
With STEP 7 (classic) V5.4 or higher: When configuring in
STEP 7, the AS-Interface configuration can be uploaded in
STEP 7 V5.4 SP2 and higher. Furthermore, AS-Interface
slaves from Siemens can also be conveniently configured in
HW Config (slave selection dialog).
Please observe the notes;
see
.
•
Alternatively, IE/AS-i LINK PN IO can be integrated by means
of the PROFINET GSD file in the engineering tool (e.g. for
TIA Portal, for STEP 7 versions V5.4 SP2 and lower, or for
non-Siemens engineering tools).

Benefits
•
Short startup times through simple configuration at the press
of a button and testing of the AS-Interface line using the
display or web interface
•
Reduction of standstill and servicing times in the event of a
slave failure thanks to user-friendly diagnostics using the
display or web interface
•
Costs saved by the double AS-Interface master when large
volumes of project data are involved
•
Saves the need for AS-i power supply unit with AS-i Power24V:
The AS-Interface cable is supplied through an existing 24 V
DC PELV power supply unit. For decoupling, an AS-i data
decoupling module is required;
see page 2/88
.
•
Standard mode with AS-Interface power supply
(see page 2/82)
possible without restrictions, whereby
no further operational voltage is required.
•
For diagnostics during ongoing operation, diagnostics blocks
with clearly arranged visualization on the SIMATIC HMI panel
are available or can be downloaded free of charge via a web
browser;
