Configuration
Once the PROFIBUS-DP Option has been installed and the drive parameters set appropriately, it is necessary to add the drive to the
PROFIBUS-DP network through the use of a configuration tool. This tool is usually supplied by the vendor that supplied the PROFIBUS-
DP Master controller. This section provides a general overview of how to select the appropriate drive configuration. The Siemens COM
PROFIBUS configuration tool is used in the examples below. The examples and descriptions below assume familiarity with both
PROFIBUS-DP network and setting up a PROFIBUS-DP Master for the devices on that network.
The PROFIBUS-DP Communication Option can be configured as one of three possible input/output messages; 16 word input/output, 6
word input/output and 3 word I/Os, combined input/output, messages. The structure of each message is described in Chapter 3 – Network
Communications.
