Rockwell Automation RECOMM-PBUS PROFIBUS Communications Module - Manual (Page 34)

5-2 PROFIBUS Communications Module
5.1 Configuring a Simple Network:
An Example
In this example, we will be configuring two SP600 drives to be
Station 1 and Station 2 on a PROFIBUS network. This will be the
configuration used throughout the manual, including the ladder
examples. Apart from the node address and scanner mapping, they
will have identical configurations. This chapter describes the steps
to configure a simple network like the network in figure 5.2.
5.1.1 Installing the RECOMM-PBUS GSD File in the
Software Tool Library
GSD files are used by software tools to configure the network, in
other words, to map and define the I/O in a PROFIBUS scanner. A
GSD file is required for each type of module on the network.
For example: The RECOMM-PBUS GSD file is “Rele0573.gsd” and
a copy of the file is provided on a floppy disk with each
RECOMM-PBUS PROFIBUS module. The file can also be
downloaded from the Internet by going to: www.reliance.com.
