Open SYCON.net and locate the "CIFX RE/PNS" device. Drag and drop the device to the main panel and also add the required PROFINET devices for a complete fieldbus network configuration.

Double-click on the icon to open the Configuration window of the controller.

Go to Configuration and then General. These are the parameters that you can use to setup the PROFINET device name.

Go to Configuration and then Modules. These are the parameters that you can use to setup the PROFINET device input and output ports.

Go to Configuration and then device Settings. These are the parameters that you can use to setup the PROFINET device.

Apply the configuration and close the windows. Right-click on the controller icon and select Additional Functions, Export and then DBM/nxd.

Select a name for the file, for example, "my_device.nxd" and save.

In MATLAB, locate the file and use the following script to load the configuration to the target machine.

IO752             = sg_IO75X_struct();     % Define default structure

IO752.protocol    = 'IO752';               % Protocol Speedgoat ID
IO752.cardid      = '1';                   % Card ID as defined in the model
IO752.configfiles = '2';                   % Number of configuration files
IO752.configPath  = 'C:\Tests\Profinet';   % Absolute file path or '' for current directory
IO752.configfile1 = 'my_device.nxd';       % Name of first configuration file
IO752.configfile2 = 'my_device_nwid.nxd';  % Name of second configuration file

sg_IO75X_loadconfig(IO752);

	Note
	When using v2 blocks, the protocol must be set to "IO752_V2".

IO752             = sg_IO75X_struct();     % Define default structure

IO752.protocol    = 'IO752_V2';            % Protocol Speedgoat ID
IO752.cardid      = '1';                   % Card ID as defined in the model
IO752.configfiles = '2';                   % Number of configuration files
IO752.configPath  = 'C:\Tests\Profinet';   % Absolute file path or '' for current directory
IO752.configfile1 = 'my_device.nxd';       % Name of first configuration file
IO752.configfile2 = 'my_device_nwid.nxd';  % Name of second configuration file

sg_IO75X_loadconfig(IO752);

Configure the driver blocks according to the configuration defined in SYCON.net. In the Setup driver block select "Configuration mode: Configuration file".

When you build the model, the firmware and configuration are loaded to the IO752 PROFINET device I/O module.
