Downloading Parameters
For the purpose of downloading a configuration as well as monitoring the
C200HW-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP Master DTM uses a dedicated serial driver
to connect to the Unit through one of the serial ports on the PC. To setup this
driver for communication to the Unit, perform the following procedure.
1. Open the device's context menu by
• Selecting the C200HW-PRM21 Master DTM in the Network view, and
clicking the right mouse button.

ment. The driver window will open in the DTM view, as shown below.
3. Make sure that the serial cable is attached between the PC's Serial COM
Port, then in the driver window select the Connect button, associated with
the COM Port to which the C200HW-PRM21 is connected.
4. If connection is successful, the Error Field next to the selected button will
remain 0. The other fields will contain Name and Version information of the
firmware on board the C200HW-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP Master Unit.
In case of connection error, the Error Field will contain an error code, which
can be used to determine the communication problem. Refer to Appendix
