PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway
PROFIBUS DP Master
If default parameters are configured in the GSD file for this slave, they are
inserted automatically when the menu is chosen the first time.
Some DP-Slave devices need some further parameterization data to change for
example, a measurement limitation or a value range. This data is slave-specific
and the functionality cannot be explained at this point.
The explanation can normally be found in the corresponding slave manual.
This following dialog box shows an example of parameter data for a slave.
A modular PROFIBUS-DP slave station may need parameter data for one or
more modules and for the slave station itself (head station). There are three
selections possible:

Hex: All parameters of the slave are shown in hexadecimal representation

Common: Parameter data of the head station

Module: Parameter data of the separate modules
