In order to define the I/O configuration, the DTM Configuration User Interface
must be opened. The next example uses CX-Profibus to define, edit and
download an I/O configuration.
The figure below, shows the DTM User Interface for the PRT1-SCU11 PROFI-
BUS DP slave device. The DTM Configuration User Interface displays two
lists.
• The Available Modules list, which contains the I/O modules the user can
select.
• The Configured Modules list, which contains all the I/O modules selected
by the user.
To select the I/O modules, perform one of the following procedures.
• Select the I/O module that needs to be added in the Available Modules
list, and double-click it with the left mouse button. If more than one mod-
ule must be added, repeat this step for the other modules.
• Select the I/O module that needs to be added in the Available Modules
list, and press either the Insert or Append button.
1. When pressing the Insert button, the selected I/O module will be inserted
above the selected module in the Configured Modules list.
2. The selected I/O modules are sent to the slave device, in the same se-
quence as selected in the user interface. The sequence determines the
target Temperature Controller / R88A-MCW151-E for the I/O data. For ex-
ample, the I/O data of the first selected Fixed Communication Block will be
sent to the first temperature Controller
3. A mandatory I/O module sequence is sometimes indicated in the GSD file,
by using non-PROFIBUS standard GSD file keywords (i.e. only interpreted
