FC 300 Profibus
How to Configure the System
Setting the PROFIBUS Address via par. 9-18 Node address:
Setting the address via par. 9-18 Node address or the Profibus SSA-command is possible, if the hardware
switches are set to 126 or 127 (factory switch setting). The address change will come into effect at the next
power-up.
Setting the PROFIBUS Address with "Set Station Address" Command:
Setting the address via the "Set Station Address" command is possible, if the hardware switch is set to
126 or 127 (factory switch setting). Using the "Set Station Address" command it is possible to lock the
programmed address, which makes it impossible to change the address using this command. The address
setting can be unlocked by changing the par. 9-18 Node address or the address switch, followed by a power
cycle. A new address is effective immediately after the "Set Station Address" command.

GSD File

In order 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 setup data for a slave. Download the GSD file da01040A.GSD for the FC 300 Drive at
http://www.danfoss.com/drives.
The first step in configuration of the PROFIBUS
Master is to import the GSD file in the configuration
tool. The steps outlined below show how to add
a new GSD file to the Simatic Manager software
tool. For each drive series, a GSD file is typically
imported once only, following the initial installation
of the software tool.
Using the browser for the GSD file, choose to install
All files, which will mean that both a GSD file and
a bitmap for the device will be imported into the
Hardware catalogue.
