Termination
Termination of the fieldbus requires a terminating resistor at each end of the
fieldbus. A termination switch is provided on the Profibus-DP interface
board. Set the switch to “ON”, if termination is required. If external
terminators are used, the switch must be in the off position.
GSD File
Each device on a Profibus network is associated with an GSD file containing
all necessary information about the device to be connected. The network
configuration program uses this file during configuration of the network.
The GSD file associated with the FEC device can be downloaded from the
FEC website. www.fec-usa.com (File : hms_1003.gsd)
Direct link:www.fec-usa.com/fecusacomnew/support/index.htm
(the file can also be downloaded directly from HMS - www.hms.se)
