Configuring the
PROFIBUS Scanner
A scanner is a separate module of a multi-module controller or a
built-in component of a single-module controller that provides
communication with a module connected to a network.
PROFIBUS scanners are available from several manufacturers,
including SST. SST PROFIBUS scanners come with a software tool
for configuring the scanner (see figure 5.1).
Chapter 4 provides instructions on how to utilize the SST
PROFIBUS configuration software tool to:
• Install the RECOMM-PBUS GSD file in the software tool library.
• Configure the SST-PFB-SLC PROFIBUS scanner.
Important: The configuration of other manufacturer’s scanners may
differ significantly from this example. Please refer to
your scanner manufacturer’s documentation.
