In the Station box, enter the station address of your master. Click OK.

On the Browse menu, click Network Properties.

In the Baud Rate field, select your desired baud rate. The RMC is capable of

speeds up to 12000kBaud (12MBps); check the rates supported by your master

and other slave devices. Click OK.

4. Add the GSD file to your configuration programs GSD database.

On the Library menu, click Add GSD.

Browse to the GSD file. It is located in the folder where RMCTools is installed.

o

RMC7P: DELT07E1.GSD

o

RMC150E PROFIBUS: DELT0AC6.GSD

Select the file, and click Open.

5. Add and configure an RMC Motion Controller slave device to the network.

In the GSD library tree, expand Slaves and Delta Computer Systems, Inc. and

double-click on RMC75P Motion Controller or RMC150E Motion Controller.

On the General tab, select the station address of your master in the Station field

of the dialog that is displayed.

In the Modules tab, click Add. In the dialog that is displayed, select the

appropriate module from the Available Modules list and click OK. For help on

determining the appropriate configuration module, refer to the Determining the

Appropriate GSD Configuration Module section of the PROFIBUS Configuration

topic.

In the Address (or SLC Address) tab, review the default addressing and change

it if necessary.

On the Ext. Prms tab, notice the Word Order parameter. Because PROFIBUS-DP

does not specify the word order for 32-bit values, we allow the order to be

swapped through this setting. You will probably not know which is correct until

later in the process. If you receive data over the PROFIBUS network, but the

values are not what you expect or do not make sense, return to this step and try

swapping the word order.

Click OK.

6. Add any other RMC devices you want on the same network. To do this, repeat step 5.
7. Save your configuration.
8. Send the configuration to the master device. This step varies depending on the master

you selected.

6.9.3.4. Configuring a PROFIBUS-DP Network with SyCon

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,

Hilscher may, and probably will, change the steps taken here slightly with each version of

SyCon System Configurator.

The following steps came from SyCon System Configurator 2.710:

1. Start SyCon System Configurator.
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.
