Installing The PROFIBUS-DP Option
The following is a short guide to troubleshooting the PROFIBUS-DP Option installation. It highlights some of the most common issues
faced when diagnosing and correcting issues associated with the startup and operation of a drive with a PROFIBUS-DP industrial network.
Further information on the features of each interface can be found in the PROFIBUS-DP Option Technical Manual. While most of the
information is centered on the application of the drive, the guidelines presented are applicable in most PROFIBUS-DP Networks.
Diagnosis of network fault issues will typically fall into three categories: installation of the PROFIBUS-DP option, wiring and cabling
issues, and network configuration/diagnostics. Each of these areas will be discussed below to help resolve common problems associated in
PROFIBUS-DP network troubleshooting.
#
Drive Operates Correctly Without Network Option Installed
Before installing any drive option, verify that the drive functions properly without the option installed. Refer to the appropriate drive
technical manual for information on the drive’s installation and operation.
#
The PROFIBUS-DP Option Is Properly Installed.
Verify that the connection between CN2 on the PROFIBUS-DP Option is securely connected to CN2, labeled 2CN on the GPD515/G5, on
the drive and that all stand-offs are locked in their associated mounting holes.
#
Verify And Write Down The Code Number Of The PROFIBUS-DP Option.
The Code Number can be found on the front of the PROFIBUS-DP Option and specifies the firmware version of the interface unit. The
version number can be found on the label of the socketed EPROM. The Code Number and version number are necessary to select the
proper GSD file. It will also be useful if technical support should become necessary.
