14.8.1

Assigning a field bus to a DP slave via a task

Requirement
● The hardware engineering has been performed in the Navigator.
– A SIMATIC station has been created and equipped with hardware.
– An interface module of the distributed I/O is equipped with I/O modules.
See chapter Hardware engineering in the Navigator (Page 100).
● The "Locations" tab is displayed in the Navigator.
You can find more information on this topic in the "EI&C Operation" manual, keyword "Using
engineering tasks".
Assigning a bus
To assign the interface module of the distributed I/O to a bus, follow these steps:
1. Select the interface module in the Navigator.
2. Open the properties of the interface module.
3. Select the "Tasks > Bus system" tab.
4. Check to see if the engineering task "Assign fieldbus" is available.
Create the engineering task "Assign fieldbus" using the context menu if it is not available.
5. Select the SIMATIC station in the Navigator.
6. Expand the structure under the SIMATIC station until the bus is visible.
The structure is determined in the following step: See also chapter Configuring a SIMATIC
station (Page 107).
7. Drag&drop the "PROFIBUS" object or a similar object to the "Assign fieldbus" line in the
"Target object" column.
8. Click the "Execute" button in the menu bar of the "Tasks > Bus system" tab.
