Defining the PROFIBUS Network

Setting up a PROFIBUS Master Unit to exchange parameters and I/O data
with the GRT1-PRT and the SmartSlice I/O System involves defining the I/O
configuration to the Master Unit and to set parameters needed at run-time.
Refer to Appendix A PROFIBUS Technology for more information on PROFI-
BUS network commissioning.
This section discusses the methods of configuration.
Defining the PROFIBUS network in the Cx-Profibus FDT Container, starts
with defining the PROFIBUS Master Unit and assigning the slave devices to it.
Defining and assigning devices can be achieved using drag & drop from the
Cx-Profibus Device Catalogue. Refer to the CS/CJ-series PROFIBUS DP
Master Units Operation Manual (W409) for more information on how to
assemble a network. The figure below shows Cx-Profibus with an assembled
network in the left window pane and the Device Catalogue opened in the main
window pane.
To define the I/O Configuration of the GRT1-PRT SmartSlice Communication
Unit, double-click the device in the Network view using the left mouse button.
A separate configuration window will pop up, which is described in the next
section.
