6.2.5 Using the Profibus interface (connector X8) with Soft-PLC/CoDeSys
CoDeSys supports a hardware configuration corresponding to the Profibus DP standard. In the
Profibus system you find master and slave modules. Each slave is provided with a parameter
set by its master and supplies data on request of the master.
The configuration of Profibus modules in CoDeSys is based on the GSD files attached to them
by the hardware manufacturer. For this purpose all GSD files which are stored in the
configuration files directory will be considered. The modules described by a GSD file can be
inserted in the configuration tree and their parameters can be edited there. The needed GSD-
file for CoDeSys (HMS_1810.GSD) is located on the CD-ROM “Motion Control Tools”.
For more detailed information see the CoDeSys manual, chapter ‘configuration of Profibus
Modules’ (version 2.3 chapter 6.6.6).
To use the bus variables with CoDeSys the following steps are necessary:
1. under ‘Resources’ select ‘PLC Configuration’.
2. under ‘Insert’ Æ ‘Apend Subelement’ select ‘AnyBus-IC PDP’
3. To configure the AnyBus-IC PDP select ‘Input/Output’ and select the modules you want.
