It is now time to edit the PDPS.CFG file to set up the module for the specific
application. Refer to the Configuration File section of this document. The
module is now set up and ready to use with your application. Insert the module in
the rack and attach the PROFIBUS cable. Download the new application to the
controller and place the processor in run mode. Download the new PDPS.CFG
file to the module using HyperTerminal. If all the configuration parameters are set
correctly and the module is attached to a network, the module's Application LED
(APP LED) should remain off and the backplane activity LED (BP ACT) should
blink very rapidly. If you encounter errors, refer to Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting
(page 41) for information on how to connect to the module's
Config/Debug port to use its troubleshooting features.
