Profinet IO RT Controller Configuration

The KAS IDEClosed"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger contains a fully integrated configurator for Profinet IO RT Controller.

The Profinet maximum data size is 1440 bytes Input length and 1440 bytes Output length. To calculate the size, use the slot configuration view to count the number of bits per slot and convert to bytes. For example, 7 slots containing 16 outputs of 32 bits each, would be 7 * 16 * 32 = 3584 bits = 448 bytes.


  • Referring to the Profinet standard, the units of a Profinet network are named as IO Controllers (Masters) and IO Devices (Slaves).


  • To use some of the additional features of the Profinet controller field bus editor, such as “Browse Network for Slaves”, you need to install the "CD Prot" driver. The installer can be found in <Kollmorgen Automation Suite installation directory>\Bin\CDProtDriver.

    Please note that your computer will need to be rebooted after installing the driver.


  • Profinet is only supported on AKD PDMMs and PCMMs.
