Communication
2.1 PROFIBUS communication
GSD
Device master data (GSD) contains DP slave descriptions in a standardized format. The use
of device master data simplifies the configuration of the DP slave in a DP master system.
OM SIMOCODE pro
OM SIMOCODE pro (object manager) is used instead of GSD to integrate SIMOCODE pro
into STEP7.
OM SIMOCODE pro enables the use of SIMOCODE ES (if it is installed) for
parameterization within STEP7.
SIMATIC PDM
Software package for the configuration, parameterization, commissioning and maintenance
of devices (e.g. transducers, controllers, SIMOCODE) and for configuring networks and PCs.
SIMOCODE pro S7 slave
A SIMOCODE pro S7 slave is a slave which is fully integrated into STEP7. It is connected
via OM SIMOCODE pro. It supports the S7 model (diagnosis interrupts, hardware interrupts).
Writing data
Writing data means that data is transmitted to the SIMOCODE pro system.
Reading data
Reading data means that data is transmitted from the SIMOCODE pro system.
PROFIsafe
PROFIsafe is a safety profile developed and tested according to IEC 61508 for the widely
used field bus protocols PROFIBUS and PROFINET. The PROFIsafe profile defines how
failsafe protective devices (e.g. EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton) will be connected to
programmable controllers by means of PROFIBUS.
