2.1 Configuring the Gateway
Because the task of configuring the PROFIBUS network can be challenging,
ProSoft Technology has provided a configuration tool called ProSoft
Configuration Builder (PCB) that will help you with the following tasks:
Creating a configuration project (page 22)
Setting gateway parameters (page 24)
Configuring the PROFIBUS network (page 52) (Master and slaves)
Downloading the project to the gateway (page 71)
The following topics of this chapter explain each task step-by-step.
