SINUMERIK 840Di Manual (HBI) – 06.03 Edition
After the SlaveOM has been installed, the following DP slave drives are avail-
able in the hardware catalog of "HW Config" (hardware configuration tool within
the SIMATIC Manager) for being inserted into the S7 project:
S
"HW Config" hardware catalog:
Profile: Default
– PROFIBUS DP > SIMODRIVE > SIMODRIVE 611 universal
–

– PROFIBUS DP > SINUMERIK > ADI4
All properties of a DP slave are stored in a DMF file (device master file) in ASCII
format. STEP7 requires one DMF file each for each DP slave so that the DP
slave can be selected from the hardware catalog.
If a DP slave is not displayed in the hardware catalog, its specific DMF file must
be installed in "HW Config" using the menu command Tools > Install new DMF
file.
After the DMF file has been installed, the DP slave is available in the hardware
catalog of "HW Config" for being inserted into the S7 project:
S
"HW Config" hardware catalog:
Profile: Standard
PROFIBUS DP > further field units > ...
Notice
The DMF files must be installed on that computer on which the SIMATIC Man-
ager STEP7 required to install the S7 project is already installed.
To install a DMF file, please refer to the appropriate notes in the file:
