Configuration
Setting the PROFIBUS address with set station address
command
1.
Switch off the supply.
2.
Set the DIP switch to 126 or 127 (factory switch
setting).
3.
Set the address via the set station address
command. Use the set station address command
to lock the programmed address and to change
the address. To unlock the address setting,
change parameter 9-18 Node Address or the
address switch, followed by a power cycle. A new
address is effective immediately after applying
the set station address command.
3.2 Configure the Master
3.2.1 GSD File
To configure a PROFIBUS master, the configuration tool
needs a GSD file for each type of slave on the network.
The GSD file is a PROFIBUS DP standard text file containing
the necessary communications set-up data for a slave.
Download the GSD file for the relevant frequency
converter series vlt-drives.danfoss.com/products/engineering-
software/software-download/fieldbus/.

Table 3.2 GSD File
The following example shows the procedure of configuring
a PROFIBUS master for FC 301/FC 302, but the procedure is
also valid for other frequency converter series.
1.
Import the GSD file in the configuration tool.
2.
Import the GSD file to the Simatic Manager
software tool. Import a GSD file once only for
each frequency converter series, following the
initial installation of the software tool. See
Illustration 3.3.
3.
Use the browser for the GSD file, install all files,
and import both a GSD file and a bitmap for the
device into the hardware catalog. See
Illustration 3.4 and Illustration 3.5.
