Parameterize
Optional. (Note: If you are configuring a 505
slave(s). PROFIBUS-DP RBC, PPX:505-6870, you may want
to change the settings for I/O mismatch handling and
RS-232 port communications; consult the SIMATIC
505 PROFIBUS-DP RBC User Manual for a
description of the software parameters of the RBC.)
Configure slave(s).
Required. You can use either the "ID" or the "Order

them to the appropriate slots in your slave device.
The "Comment" field is optional. Do not fill in the
"I. Addr." or "O. Addr." fields; you will assign

SoftShop, and any data you assign to these fields in
COM PROFIBUS is overwritten.

Importing Configuration Data From COM
PROFIBUS Into 505 SoftShop
The 505 SoftShop Profibus-DP I/O dialog box allows you to import
configuration data from the binary file that you created with COM
PROFIBUS (described above). The steps you take are the same
regardless of whether you are importing data from an entirely new
configuration, or merely importing selected items that have been
modified from a previous configuration session in COM PROFIBUS. The
Merge function performs a comparison between the current configuration
information and the contents of the selected binary file exported from
COM PROFIBUS. Only new information is written to 505 SoftShop; pre-
existing, unchanged configuration information (e.g., I/O addresses) is not
lost.
