NETLink S7-Compact - User Guide
In this case, the timeout value should be increased correspondingly.
Profile:
§
Under PROFIBUS, there are usually the profiles DP, Standard und User defined.
§
The profile must be selected that is already used in the programmable controller.
Bus parameters:
§
Unlike the MPI bus profile, the bus parameters for PROFIBUS are not constant and change with
the type and number of PROFIBUS stations used.
§
Always set the PROFIBUS parameters that are set in the currently used programmable controller
(see current STEP7 project).
Whenever an active CPU is involved, which transmits the profibus parameters, we recommend
activating the Automatic transmission rate detection.
In this way you avoid the laborious steps involved in manual configuration, and most
importantly ensure that profibus networks work with many participants of the NETLink S7-
Compact with the correct profibus parameters.
