6.1 Setup checklist
Proceed as follows for the setup of
VEGASCAN on the Profibus DP:
I. Check hardware requirements
• Profibus DP-compatible master component
• VEGASCAN version "Profibus DP“
II. Check software requirements
• VEGA utility diskette with GSD file and
example programs for Siemens S5, S7
II. Carry out adjustments on VEGASCAN
• Set Profibus slave address
• Activate or deactivate bus termination
III. Configure Profibus DP-Master and
check communication
• The green LED named “BA” lights on
VEGASCAN if communication works prop-
erly.
6.2 Setup SIEMENS S7 automation
system
For connection of decentralised peripherals
to automation instruments of S7 series,
SIEMENS uses Profibus DP. Many of the S7
CPUs already offer a Profibus DP interface.
For connection of VEGASCAN to a S7 auto-
mation system, a Profibus DP interface must
be available and the automation system must
work as Profibus-Master. In this section, all
measures that must be taken for the setup of
your VEGASCAN on a S7 automation system
are described in detail.
Note:
If your Profibus-Master is manufactured by
another company, please check the manu-
facturer documentation for the required infor-
mation.
Configuration SIEMENS S7 automation
system
The configuration and parameter setting of
the Profibus is done with the software
SIMATIC-Manager from SIEMENS. All con-
figurations for the connected Profibus net-
work are made via the window HW-Config.
