Configuring the DP/ASi Link
Introduction
To operate the DP/ASi link to the PROFIBUS-DP, you must configure and
assign parameters to it.
Method
There are two ways in which you can configure a DP/ASi link:
1. You can use the STEP 7 application ( version 2.1 or higher) or
2. You can use any external master that is not covered by COM ET 200
The simplest method is to configure the DP/ASi link using STEP 7 (version
2.1 or higher).
STEP 7
With STEP 7 (version 2.1 or higher) the DP/ASi link is easy to configure, as
is also the assignment of parameters to it. The approach is described in the
Standart STEP 7 Standard Software for S7 and M7 user's guide. STEP 7 con-
tains a detailed online Help for support when you are configuring and assi-
gning parameters.
COM ET 200
If you are already familiar with the COM ET 200 Windows package, you will
Windows
not learn anything new here.
Should you not be certain about how to handle the COM ET 200 Windows
package, you will receive instructions on how to integrate a DP/ASi link in
the PROFIBUS-DP.
COM ET 200 Windows contains an integrated Help.
External master
If you wish to operate the DP/ASi link on an external master, section 5.3 is
relevant for you.
Parameterization
Of special importance in configuration is the assignment of parameters to
data
ASi slaves. A detailed description of how parameterization data are stored in
the parameterization message will be found in appendix C.
The re-assignment of parameters to the DP/ASi link in the S5 (IM308C as the
S5 master) is described in detail in the Distributed I/O System ET 200 ma-
nual, Order No. 6ES5 998-3ES12.
