Addressing with
Slot and Index
3-8
When addressing data, PROFIBUS assumes that the physical structure of
the slaves is modular or it can be structured internally in logical functional
units, so-called modules. This model is also used in the basic DP functions
for cyclic data communication where each module has a constant number
of input-/output bytes that are transmitted in a fixed position in the user data
telegram. The addressing procedure is based on identifiers, which
characterize a module type as input, output or a combination of both. All
identifiers combined produce the configuration of the slave, which is also
checked by the DPM when the system starts up.
The acyclic data communication is also based on this model. All data
blocks enabled for read/write access are also regarded as assigned to the
modules and can be addressed using slot number and index.
The Slot_Number addresses the module and the index addresses the data
blocks of a module. The Slot_Number = 0 addresses data of the
PROFIBUS coupler, Slot_Number > 0 addresses the data of the function
modules.

Response:
Each data block can be up to 244Bytes. In the case of modular devices, the
slot number is assigned to the modules. Compact devices are regarded as
a unit of virtual modules. These can also be addressed whit slot number
and index. Through the length specification in the read/write request, it is
also possible to read/write parts of a data block.
Note!
For the addressing at the deployment of the Siemens SIMATIC manager
the following conventions are valid:
DP slave coupler: Setting of the diagnostic address as ID
Modules of the DP slave coupler: Setting of the module address as ID. For
an output module you have to set additionally Bit 15 of the module address
(e.g. address 0004h becomes 8004h). With a combination module you
have to set the lower one of the two addresses.
