PROFINET CBA (PN-CBA)
The PROFINET CBA (PN-CBA) protocol is a field bus protocol related to platform independent data exchange.
PN-CBA is based on DCOM and the "lightweight" PROFINET/RT (Ethernet type 0x8892) protocols:
The connection management part is using DCOM as its underlying protocol.
The acyclic data transfer (transfer of data if value changed) also uses the DCOM protocol.
The cyclic data transfer uses the "lightweight" PROFINET/RT protocol.
History
XXX - add a brief description of PROFINET CBA history
Protocol dependencies
PROFINET/RT: PN-CBA uses PROFINET/RT as its cyclic data transport protocol.
Example traffic
XXX - Add example traffic here (as plain text or Wireshark screenshot).
Wireshark
The PN-CBA dissector is fully functional.
Preference Settings
There are no PN-CBA specific preference settings.
Example capture file
XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here. Keep it short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically.
Display Filter
PN-CBA splits into several DCOM interfaces, so there's no single PN-CBA filter available. A complete list of PN-CBA display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference, look for all protocols (DCOM interfaces) beginning with the cba_ prefix there.
For this reason, theres no simple PN-CBA filter. However, you can filter on the underlying DCOM protocol.
Show only the DCOM (PN-CBA) based traffic:
dcom
Capture Filter
You cannot directly filter PN-CBA protocols while capturing.
