3.3. Profibus Master Configuration If using the FieldServer as a Profibus master, provide a configuration file to fully describe the network connected to the FieldServer. The Profibus driver will accept a 2BF file or a BSS file. The 2BF file is created using COM PROFIBUS from Siemens. The BSS file is created using the SST Profibus Configuration tool. -

Page 16: Appendix A. Special Driver Parameters
Appendix A. Special Driver Parameters Appendix A.1. DP_Buffer Within the Profibus DP card, the FieldServer can access data from two distinct buffers. The Input buffer is the data that is sent from the slave to master. The Output buffer is the data sent from the master to the slave. -
Page 17: Appendix B. Driver Notes
RDBC Input WRBC The diagram below explains the data flows for both buffers when using the FieldServer as a DP Master: Note that for the Input buffer, the data is coming from the external DP Slave and is transferred into the DP Master card’s internal input buffer. The Map Descriptor being of the RDBC function ( Read Data Block Continuous ) transfers the data from the card buffer into the FieldServer’s Data Array packing it correctly according to the specified DP_Type. - Page 18 Note: The Node ID determines to which external DP slave the data will be sent or fetched from.

Profibus Master configuration. This file must not exist in applications where FieldServer is being used as a slave. o To check for the file, try uploading the file from the FieldServer using the RUI Utility. If it uploads successfully, then it will need to be deleted. See the FieldServer Utilities manual for instructions on how to do this. -

The Profibus card may be faulty. • If this is the case, then there will be an error message in the FieldServer RUI error screen indicating that the card could not be reached. Check for this message. If it is there, try opening up the FieldServer and re-seating the card. -

Appendix C.3. Error and Informational Messages on Ruinet E and F screens Master Mode not enabled This message means that the FieldServer is not set up to be a Profibus DP Master. This indicates that the FieldServer did not find a Master scanner file, (bridge.bss). This message is normal if you configured the FieldServer to be a DP Slave. - Page 22 FS-8700-20 Profibus DP Driver Manual Page 22 of 22 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FieldServer Technologies 1991 Tarob Court Milpitas, California 95035 USA Web:www.fieldServer.com Tel: (408) 262-2299 Fax: (408) 262-9042 Toll_Free: 888-509-1970 email: support@fieldServer.com...
