6 Double-click the S LAVE icon to view the Slave properties dialog box.
ProSoft Configuration Builder automatically assigns a PROFIBUS address to
each new slave. The slave address assignment begins at address 3 for the
first slave added to the network (addresses 0, 1, and 2 are reserved for use
with PROFIBUS Masters), and is incremented by 1 for each new slave added
to the network. You may, however, assign any address, 0-125 to any Master
or slave node as long as you do not assign the same address to more than
one device. You can change the address in the C
OMMON tab of the Slave
properties dialog box. ProSoft Configuration Builder will not allow you to
assign a PROFIBUS address that is already in use by another device on this
network.
Leave the remaining settings unchanged for now, and click OK
to close the
Slave properties dialog box.

8 When you are finished adding slaves, open the P
ROJECT menu and choose
E XIT . Click Y ES to save the project and return to the PROFIBUS Master Setup
dialog box.
