Profibus-DP-Mastersimulator

The Profibus DP Mastersimulator is a simple universal tool for data exchange with
Profibus slaves of almost all manufacturers via Profibus DP. The Profibus DP Master-
simulator can exchange data with a Profibus slave even without GSD file, without type
file and without a Profibus master. Without further inputs or additional files the Profi-
bus Slave can be put into operation with the default I/O width. Input data can be read
and output data be written. This is particularly important with time-critical troubleshoot
at the Profibus, if e.g. diskettes of several manufacturers are not seizable. Beyond
that the Profibus DP Mastersimulator enables also the use of GSD files, of course, as
well as the input of special configurations for starting data exchange with Profibus
slaves. Addressing of Profibus Slaves - above all the IP67-Module without address
switches - is likewise possible. In the scope of supply of the Profibus DP
The scope of supply of the Profibus DP Mastersimulator contains a simple Profibus
converter. The Profibus converter is the ideal interface converter between the RS232
interface of the PC and the Profibus. The converter is very compact and needs no ad-
ditional external power supply. Therefore it is in the best way suitable also for mobile
build-up with a laptop or a notebook. The Profibus converter can simply be connected
between the Profibus slave and the RS232 interface cable.
Subject to reasonable modifications due to technical advances.
