Parameter data during startup

Parameter data is transferred to the unit on the PROFIBUS DP each time SIMOCODE pro is
started up.
Either standard parameters only or standard and device-specific parameters
(SIMOCODE pro parameters) are transferred, depending on the master module used and
the type of integration into the DP master system. The parameters are stored in the PLC or
the DP master and automatically transferred to the DP slave when the system is started up.
You can set the device-specific parameters
● with the configuration tool with loaded GSD (SIMOCODE pro C basic unit only), e.g. with
STEP7-HW Config. This option is available for SIMOCODE pro C. The SIMOCODE pro
parameters are created by configuring the device-specific parameters on the slave
properties page.
● in the SIMOCODE ES software with integration of SIMOCODE pro into STEP7-
HW Config as an S7 slave via OM SIMOCODE pro. This option is available for
SIMOCODE pro C, SIMOCODE pro S, and SIMOCODE pro V. You can start the
SIMOCODE ES software for easy configuration of the parameterization from STEP7
HW Config using the button in the "Parameter" tab in the object properties of slot 4.
Note
To allow device parameterization during startup, the startup parameter block (Device
parameters > Bus parameters) must not be set.
SIMOCODE pro is then parameterized with the device-specific parameters stored in the
DP master. Any parameters already in the device will be overwritten.

Timestamping/time synchronization

See Chapter "Timestamping" (standard functions) in the manual Parameterizing SIMOCODE
