Configuration data for the DP slave (hexadecimal)
The configuration data for the DP slave are displayed as a list of hexadecimal digits
separated by commas and this can be edited. Generally, one pair of digits corresponds to
the configuration of a submodule of the DP slave. For the coding of the submodule
properties, please refer to the description of the DP Base programming interface (section,
structure of the configuration data). For information on creating and using GSD files, please
refer to the description of the DP Base programming interface (section, significance of GSD
files).

Ident number of the DP slave
Enter the Ident number of the DP slave as a hexadecimal number. The Ident number is
assigned by the PROFIBUS Users Organization and is unique for each slave type. It is also
in the GSD file that needs to be created.
S

Click the "Browse" button if you want to use a GSD file as a template from which you can
also take the Ident number and the configuration data for the DP slave. Please note that
with a modular DP slave, only the configuration data of the first submodule definition are
adopted.
