Module Configuration for PROFIBUS
After installation of the thermocouple/mV module, you must configure it
for operation, usually by using the programming software compatible
with the controller or scanner. This appendix includes PROFIBUS
configuration information.
Chapter 3 contains detailed information on module parameters and
performance. While configuring your thermocouple/mV module for
operation on PROFIBUS, refer to Chapter 3 for the following information:
• module memory map
• input data file
• data format
• filter frequencies
• channel step response
• channel cutoff frequency
• effective resolution
• module update time
Configuration of the 1790P-T4T0 thermocouple/mV modules is
accomplished through PROFIBUS configuration software with
easy-to-use-GSD files. To obtain the GSD files you need to configure the
module, access the following website.

The example in this chapter shows you how to configure the
thermocouple/mV module with the SST PROFIBUS Configuration tool.
The configuration example outlined in this section is written for an
experienced PROFIBUS user. Refer to your scanner and network
documentation for more complete details.
Open your SST PROFIBUS Configuration tool.
If online, make sure the processor is in Program mode.
