PROFIBUS DP Communications

Publication 2711-6.3

The PanelView terminal is a slave device on a PROFIBUS DP
network and only responds to commands from a DP Master device.
The DP Master program reads and writes PanelView object tag
values to its database at regular intervals.

The DP Master programmer must know where the data blocks are
stored and their content. The PanelBuilder tag editor defines the
controller addresses of the tag data.

The same tag editor described in the PanelBuilder User manual
(Publication No. 2711-6.0) assigns tag information for PROFIBUS
DP communications (exceptions are noted on the following page).

Important: In the tag editor, under the Options menu, make sure
that Address Validation is not selected. You will get an invalid
address error if you enter a PROFIBUS DP address and Address
Validation is selected.
