10-4 New Functions and Features
•
Multiple SST-PFBCLX modules can be used either on separate
PROFIBUS DP networks or on the same PROFIBUS network (a
multi-master configuration).
•
The SST-PFBCLX is accompanied by a set of SW applications
from SST, which are used to configure (and monitor) the
PROFIBUS network through a dedicated serial configuration
port.
•
As pictured, you can use a dedicated PC for configuration
operations, or alternatively, a ProcessLogix Station node can be
used for this purpose.
•
The SST-PFBCLX and PROFIBUS network cannot be configured
through ProcessLogix Control Builder.
SST-PFBCLX / PROFIBUS Network Configuration
The PROFIBUS DP network is configured using the SST PROFIBUS
Configuration Software Tool that accompanies the SST-PFBCLX card.
The SST PROFIBUS Configuration Tool manages the configuration of
the PROFIBUS DP network, including the following:
•
The import and interpretation of the electronic configuration
files (GSD files) that are provided by the device vendor with
each slave device.
•
The assignment of station and module numbers and the
corresponding offsets into the input/output assemblies.
•
The tool ensures that there is no ’overlapping’ of messages
to/from individual devices.
•
The assignment of the PROFIBUS network baud rate, and other
timing parameters.
ProcessLogix Block Architecture
The set of function blocks that comprise the ProcessLogix PROFIBUS
library are packaged as a Control Component Library (CCL) which is
included in ProcessLogix R400.0.
