Communication Setup; Gsd Files; Baud Rate; Bus Address - Siemens PROFIBUS DP-V1 Operating Instructions Manual

Communication setup

The SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP-V1 module is a slave on the bus, and does not use any
Siemens device parameters for configuration. Set the rotary switches on the module to
the desired slave address. Other settings are provided in the GSD file or are automatically
detected.

GSD files

A PROFIBUS master requires the GSD file for each device on the network. The GSD file
contains parameter and capability information regarding the slave device.
For the PROFIBUS DP-V1 module, the GSD file is HMS_b1813.gsd (included on the
accompanying DVD).

Baud rate

The SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP-V1 module automatically configures itself to the correct
baud rate for the PROFIBUS DP-V1 network. Follow the PROFIBUS guidelines with
regards to bus length and baud rate.

Bus address

Set the two rotary switches to the address for this slave.
Use a slave address switch in the range 03 to 99.
This example shows the value "06. "
