SIMOCODE-DP at the DP Master System
● Open STEP 7 HW Config. From the Hardware Catalog, Profile standard, navigate to
PROFIBUS Devices –Switching Devices –SIMOCODE-DPV1 (PDM). Place this device on
the PROFIBUS network.
Note
Here DPV1 corresponds to the SIMOCODE-DP device parameter Operating Mode DPV1.
● Assign the PROFIBUS-DP address. Select device slot 1 and configure it as DPV1: Basic
Type 2 Compact.
Note
Here DPV1 refers to the mode of the DP master. If the mode of the DP master is S7
Compatible, the slot selection would also be S7 Compatible.
SIMOCODE-DP behind the Y-Link (DPV1)
● Open STEP 7 HW Config. From the Hardware Catalog, Profile standard, navigate to
PROFIBUS Devices→Switching Devices →SIMOCODE-DP (PDM). Place this device on
the PROFIBUS network.
Note
Here DP corresponds to the SIMOCODE-DP device parameter Operating Mode DP-
norm.
● In this configuration, DPV1 data record functions are not available. Assign the
PROFIBUS-DP address. Select device slot 1 and configure it as Basic Type 2 Compact.
● For the Y-Link (DPV1) with the interface module IM 157 (MLFB: 6ES7 157-0AA82-0XA0),
when SIMOCODE-DP is parameterized as Basic Type 2 compact, the number of
SIMOCODE-DP devices is limited to 47 (max). This limitation is due to a maximum
number of the slots within one Y-Link (47 x 5 slots = 235 slots, max. 236 slots). Also
please refer to the information given in the Y-Link manual.
