MM300 supports DP-V1 extended functionality (acyclic operations), which allows access to
any memory mapped address, including:
Actual Value reading
Parameter reading
Parameter writing
Execute command
These operations can be started by a Profibus Master Class I or Class II using specific
operations based on the DP-V1 slot and Index message parameters.
The maximum message size that can be exchanged through DPV1 is limited to 244 bytes
(122 words).
The MM300 memory is mapped in 16 bits variables, thus, only communication data
exchange with even data quantities is accepted.
The security functionality implemented on MM300 is strictly applicable. Parameter write
access is controlled by passwords as defined in Security Section of the MM300 Instruction
Manual.
Profibus DPV1 acyclic read operations can be executed against the complete memory
map, as defined for Modbus communication. Due to the high number of variables and
parameters that can be reached and the Profibus DPV1 limited address format, this
access must be executed in the following way:
1.
Define the memory address based on the Modbus Memory Map (0 based addressing)
2.
Add code 3000H to access the Actual Values area or 4000H to access the Setpoint
area
3.
Split the composed 32 bits word found above (DWORD) into 2x16 bits words format
These words will be used to define the DP-V1 Slot (most significant word) and Index
(least significant word).

we have a problem with device MM300. it says that the device is invalid through the software and does not read the device. the communication is through RS 485. is it possible to give us an advice or send us some reccomendations or instructions?

For a GE MM300 device that is not recognized by software and communicates via RS485, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure correct RS485 wiring:
- Use two-wire RS485 in a daisy chain configuration.
- Install a 120 Ohm resistor in series with a 1 nF ceramic capacitor at each end of the link.
- Use shielded wire and ground the shield at only one location.

2. Check device addressing and termination:
- Confirm proper device address and ensure no address conflicts.
- Verify that termination networks are correctly installed at both ends.

3. Confirm half-duplex communication:
- Ensure that the system supports half-duplex communication and not sending and receiving data simultaneously.

4. If using USB for setup (e.g., USB-to-RS485 converter) and the device is not recognized:
- Repeat the connection procedure 2–3 times.
- If still not recognized, uninstall the USB driver from Device Manager under modems.
- Disconnect the USB cable, wait at least 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- When prompted by the Hardware Wizard, select "No, not this time," then "Install the software automatically," and press "Continue Anyway."
- Finish the installation and check if the USB device appears in the setup software.

These steps help ensure proper hardware connection and correct software recognition of the MM300 device.
