3.4 Configure the Gateway
To configure the gateway for your application, follow these steps:
1 Configure the PROFIBUS DP Master Setting and setup all PROFIBUS DP
network slave devices (page 23, page 24)
2 Configure the PROFIBUS Master DP-V1 gateway settings (page 32)
3 Configure the MNET Server Settings (Optional - default settings can be used
without modification) (page 38)
4 Configure the MNET Client Settings (Optional - default settings can be used
without modification) (page 39)
5 Configure the Ethernet Settings (page 40)
6 Download the Project to the gateway (page 43).
3.4.1 Configure the PROFIBUS DP Network
To configure your PROFIBUS DP network you must perform four tasks:
1 Install any PROFIBUS slave-specific device configuration files, typically
called .GSD files (page 23).
2 Configure the ProLinx PROFIBUS DP Master (page 23, page 24).
3 Configure the PROFIBUS Slaves.
4 Print the Unity Passthru Memory Map (page 30).
Install the GSD Files
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) uses PROFIBUS slave device definition files
(GSD files) to obtain basic configuration information about the PROFIBUS slaves
you add to the network. The GSD configuration files identify the slave’s
capabilities so that the 5204SE-MNET-PDPMV1 can communicate with it
correctly.
Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave device or devices.
Tip: GSD configuration files for popular PROFIBUS slaves and ProSoft Technology solutions are
included with PCB. Before installing GSD files, browse the list of available slaves in the Tree View
window to see if GSD files for your slave are already installed.
GSD files are often both model number specific as well as model revision specific. Just because
you may have an older GSD file from a manufacturer for the particular make and model of your
slave device does not guarantee it will work for a newer revision of that device. Be sure you obtain
from the device manufacturer the correct GSD file or files for your PROFIBUS slave or slaves.
To install GSD files manually:
1 In ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view, click [+] to expand the module
tree, and then double-click the PROFIBUS DP icon. This action opens the
PDPMV1 PROFIBUS Master Setup dialog box.
2 Click the C ONFIGURE PROFIBUS button. This action opens the ProSoft
Configuration Builder for PROFIBUS application.
