C.6 Operating As A Profile Device - Siemens SITRANS LR250 Operating Instructions Manual

C.6 Operating as a profile device
Every manufactured PROFIBUS product has a unique PROFIBUS identification number which
identifies it to the system. PROFIBUS Profile Standard version 3.01 also defines a Profile Model
which can identify a product as a generic profile device on the network.
SITRANS LR250 can be identified in one of three ways:
*
Defining the device as Profile-specific as opposed to Manufacturer-specific makes it possible to
exchange the device for any other device of the same profile type without changing the GSD file.
To set up SITRANS LR250 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (5.2.).
