Ident Numbers

Ident Numbers


Both PROFINET and PROFIBUS devices have unique Ident (ID) numbers allocated to them to assist with engineering, identification and other issues.
An ID allows devices connected to the bus to be identified with a minimum amount of protocol overhead. In addition, the ID number is used to archive files which contain information on device features and configuration (i.e. GSD or GSDML files).


 

PROFIBUS IDENT TABLE

For information, here is the PROFIBUS Ident Numbering system, together with the status of various number groups. Device vendors, for example, may request the reservation of an unallocated number.

  • ASSIGNED = All Ident Numbers in this range are assigned to individual devices.
  • RANGE ASSIGNED = The range is assigned to an individual organization.
  • ASSIGNMENT ONGOING = The range is being filled consecutively by individual device assignments. There is no guarantee of the availability of a specific number.
  • PROFILE ID = A range of Ident Numbers already assigned to specific application profiles.
  • RESERVED FOR FUTURE PROFILE IDs = Reserved ranges of Ident Numbers for future specific application profiles. Reserved numbers cannot be used for any other purpose.
  • RESERVED = A range of Ident Numbers reserved for future use. Reserved numbers shall not be used for any other purpose.
