6.9.3.2. Configuring a PROFIBUS-DP Network with COM
PROFIBUS
Before reading this topic, you should read and understand PROFIBUS Configuration. This topic
only gives a specific example of doing one step of the configuration process. In addition,
Siemens may, and probably will, change the steps taken here slightly with each version of
COM PROFIBUS.
The following steps have been tested with COM PROFIBUS versions 3.0 and 3.3:
1. Start COM PROFIBUS.
2. If you are modifying an existing PROFIBUS-DP network, open your current configuration
file.
3. If you are creating a new PROFIBUS-DP network, you must create a new network and add
a master device to the network.
•
On the File menu, click New.
•
In the Master & Host Selection dialog, enter the Address of the master device
(in most cases, 1 is a good choice), the Master Station Type, and the appropriate
Host Station Type if available. Click OK.
•
On the Configure menu, click Bus Parameters.
•
In the Bus Parameters dialog, set the Bus Profile to PROFIBUS DP and the
Baud Rate to the desired rate. The RMC75P is capable of speeds up to
12000kBaud (12MBaud); check the rates supported by your master and other
slaves. Click OK.
4. If it is not already in the database, add the GSD file to your configuration programs GSD
database.
•
Copy the GSD file to the GSD directory under the COM PROFIBUS directory. The
GSD file can be found in the folder where RMCTools is installed.
o
For the RMC75P, this file is DELT07E1.GSD
o
For the RMC150E PROFIBUS, this file is DELT0AC6.GSD
•
Copy the BMP file to the BITMAPS directory under the COM PROFIBUS
directory. The GSD file can be found in the folder where RMCTools is installed.
o
For the RMC75P, this file is DELTR70N.GSD
o
For the RMC150E PROFIBUS, this file is DELTR15N.GSD
•
On the File menu, click Scan GSD Files.
5. Add and configure an RMC Motion Controller slave device to the network.
•
On the Configure menu, click New Slave.
•
In the PROFIBUS Address dialog, select the desired station address, and click
OK.
•
In the Family list, click Other.
•
In the Station Type list, click RMC75P Motion Controller or RMC150E Motion
Controller.
•
Click OK. In most cases you will be prompted at this time to select a Preset
Configuration. Refer to the Determining the Appropriate GSD Configuration
Module section in the PROFIBUS Configuration topic for guidance on selecting the
correct option.
•
If you are not prompted to select a Preset Configuration, then continue with
the following steps:
