Customer provides:

1
Locate PROFINET port
The Schuler DigiSim controller has a PROFINET IO port on the main control cabinet. Some models have dual ports for ring topology.
2
Connect Ethernet
Cat6 from the PROFINET port to the Flowstate edge node.
3
Set IP / device name
Use Siemens PRONETA or the Schuler HMI to assign a device name and IP address to the PROFINET device.

1
Enable DigiSim data output
On the Schuler HMI: Settings > DigiSim > Data Export > enable press monitoring output. Select parameters: force, position, SPM, energy.
2
Configure PROFINET cyclic data
Set the PROFINET IO module to output process data: slide position, press force, SPM, and energy per stroke. Typical cycle time: 4ms.

1
PROFINET DCP scan
Run a DCP scan from the edge node. The press should appear with its configured device name.
2
Run test cycle
Execute a press cycle and verify force curve, slide position, and energy data appear in Flowstate.
