PROFIBUS-DP 5.4
Communications 5-213
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 box, 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 box, set the Bus Profile to PROFIBUS DP and the Baud Rate to
the desired rate. The RMC 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 DELT1630.GSD file to your configuration program’s
GSD database.
• Copy the DELT1630.GSD file to the GSD directory under the COM PROFIBUS directory.
• Copy the DELTRMCN.BMP file to the BITMAPS directory under the COM PROFIBUS
directory.
• On the File menu, click Scan GSD Files.
5. Add and configure a Delta RMC Family slave device to the network.
• On the Configure menu, click New Slave.
• In the PROFIBUS Address dialog box, select the desired station address, and click OK.
• In the Family list, click Other.
• In the Station Type list, click Delta RMC Family.
• 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:
o
Right-click on the RMC slave device icon, and click Configure from the shortcut menu.
o
In the Configure: Delta RMC Family dialog box, click Order No.
o
In the Select by Order Number dialog box, click the order number determined in the
previous steps. Click Accept. Click Close.
o
Click OK.
6. You may wish to assign register addresses within the master at this time. This is optional for
many masters, because it can be done in the master configuration software. In fact, at times it is
not possible to edit the register addresses.
