Overview

This application note (AN241328) provides a comprehensive guide for integrating industrial communication protocols, specifically PROFINET and Ethernet/IP, on the Infineon XMC7200 microcontroller. It details the software architecture utilizing RT-Labs' U-Phy multi-protocol firmware within the ModusToolbox environment. The document outlines a reference design featuring an XMC7200 MCU as a device/adapter and a Raspberry Pi 4 as a controller/scanner. It covers the setup of the CODESYS runtime, the use of the RT-Labs Device Builder for generating GSDML and ESD device description files, and the implementation of cyclic data exchange between the MCU and the controller for factory automation and process control tasks.
