4.3 Configuring the external controller
General
The external controller is configured using the vendor specific configuration tool
that is delivered, or bought, together with the controller.
The tool is used in order to specify all the devices in the PROFIBUS network. One
of the devices is the anybus device of the IRC5 controller. To create such a device,
the GSD file describing the internal device has to be imported into the vendor
specific configuration tool, see
GSD files must be imported for all I/O devices used in the network.
External controller configuration
This procedure describes the general steps that needs to be performed when
configuring an external controller, independent of which tool is used.
