5 Drag the input and output parameters to the slot location grid (Subscriber
List) below the Bus Configuration window. The slot view displays the slot
number, configuration data, and input and output addresses. The PROFIBUS
DP Master uses this information to identify and communicate with individual
slaves on the network.
For this example, we will configure 8 words of input and 32 words of output.
These input and output words are assigned to addresses within the
gateway's internal database.
For each new slave added to the PROFIBUS network, ProSoft Configuration
Builder automatically converts the input/output byte addresses to word
input/output addresses.
Tip: To make it easier to view the data from individual slaves, you can create a spreadsheet with
all added slaves and input and output data offsets, or you can view and print the data map.
