Defining PROFIBUS DP in the Software

Defining the Configuration
Downloading the
Configuration
To ensure electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC), the shield of the cable
should be connected to the metal case of the plug connector.
If the Unit is installed in a control cabinet, the bus cable shield should be
brought into physical contact with a grounding rail using a grounding clamp or
similar device. The cable shield should continue in the cabinet right up to the
PROFIBUS device.
Ensure that the PLC and the control cabinet in which it is mounted have the
same ground potential by providing a large-area metallic contact to ground,
e.g. galvanized steel to ensure a good electrical connection. Grounding rails
should not be attached to painted surfaces.
For further information regarding PROFIBUS network installation, please refer
to "Installation Guideline for PROFIBUS DP/FMS" (PNO Order No. 2.112),
which is available at every regional PROFIBUS Organization. The information
covers:
• Commissioning of PROFIBUS equipment.
• Testing the PROFIBUS cable and bus connectors.
• Determining loop resistance.
• Testing for correct bus termination.
• Determining the segment length and cable route.
• Other test methods.
• Example of an equipment report in the PROFIBUS guideline.
After making the physical connections of the network, the configuration then
has to be defined in the software. OMRON provides a dedicated PC-based
configuration program, called CX-Profibus, as well as the required DTMs for
this purpose. It can be used to:
• Define the master(s).
• Assign slaves to their respective master(s).
• Define I/O Configuration and parameters of individual slave devices.
• Define bus parameters, e.g. baud rate, target rotation time etc.
The system must be downloaded to the Master Unit after configuring it at the
PC. This is made possible by either connecting the serial COM port of the PC
to the CS1/CJ1 PLC with a serial interface cable, or use an ethernet connec-
tion between the PC and the CS1/CJ1 PLC via an ethernet unit or Controller
Link unit.
