Using the GSD file for PROFIBUS DP
For parameter assignment of the communications module, depending on the protocol use,
you must call the following instructions (Page 35) in GSD mode:
Freeport communication:
• Port_Config (Port configuration record - data record 57)
• Send_Config (Send configuration record - data record 59)
• Receive_Config (Receive configuration record - data record 60)
• Set_Features (Activate special function - data record 58)
3964 communication:
• Port_Config (Port configuration record - data record 57)
• P3964_Config (3964 protocol configuration - data record 61)
• Set_Features (Activate special function - data record 58)
Note
The Set_Features instruction must always be called as the last configuration instruction.
Additional information
The device manual of the communications module is supplemented by the function manual
CM PtP - Configurations for point-to-point connections
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59057093) and the STEP 7 (TIA Portal)
information system. There you will find information on the following topics:
• Operating modes
• Performance optimization
• Receive buffer
• Data flow control
• Transmission integrity
• Data transmission - protocol specific
• Programming/configuring in STEP 7 (TIA Portal)
• Module-specific instructions
• Diagnostics
Information on using the communications module in a third-party system is available in the
programming and operating manual CM PtP operation with PROFINET controller
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59062563).
To use the communications modules in a third-party system, the CPU must support
communication by means of data records.
Information on reparameterization after failure and return of the power or the
PROFINET/PROFIBUS connection is available in the FAQ with the entry ID 109783576
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109783576) in the Siemens Industry
