Before starting the assembly of the network in CX-Profibus, make the follow-
ing preparation steps.
1. Open the Device Catalogue: Either select the View - Device Catalogue
menu option, or press the
Catalogue is shown below.
2. Check the list of available DTMs, and verify that all the devices that need
to be added to the Network - both master and slave devices - are among
the DTMs in the list.
3. If one or more of the DTMs is missing, these DTMs must first be installed
and the Device Catalogue updated.
Note 1. Non-GSD file based DTMs are usually provided with their own setup pro-
gram. Installation of these DTMs must be performed outside CX-Profibus,
e.g. from Windows Explorer.
2. In case of DTM installations outside CX-Profibus, always initiate an update
of the Device Catalogue, before assembling a network. Without this up-
date the newly installed DTM will not appear in the list of devices. To Up-
date the Device Catalogue, press the Update button in the Device
Catalogue main window.
3. An Update must also be performed when an already existing DTM is up-
graded. Without the update, the old version number will still be shown in
the list. Failure to update the Device Catalogue in this case may also result
in undesired behaviour, when adding these DTMs to the Network.
GSD file based DTMs can be installed from within the Device Catalogue main
window. To do so, follow the procedure below.
1. Press the Install GSD File... button at the bottom of the Device Catalogue
main window (refer to figure above). The standard windows File - Open
window will be displayed.
2. In the File - Open window browse to the sub-directory containing the GSD
file, select the (one or more) GSD file(s) and press the Open button in the
button in the Tool Bar. The opened Device
