Does the process of configuring a Profinet network in the software (TIA-Portal or SIMATIC Manager) has the same steps as configuring a Profibus-DP network? I mean, obviously there are differences in the technical aspects, but, is it enough if I watched the videos from "How to Configure Profibus-DP Network" to also be able to configure a Profinet network? Or what should I also take into account when creating a Profinet network?

Great question! The answer is yes, configuration of a Profinet network is almost the same as configuring a Profibus network. Instead of a DP port, CP card with DP port, or an IM with DP port as wit Profibus, you would define a Profinet segment with an IE General port on a CPU, an iE General port on a PC Station, or an IE port an IM card. For Profibus, you would configure a baud rate and port number for each device. For Profinet, you configure and IP address and IP mask.
