Simple Configuration - Siemens SIMATIC Distributed I/O System DP/ASi Link Manual

Configuring the DP/ASi Link
5.3.2

Simple Configuration

Requirement
The DP/ASi link, version 3 or later, can also be operated on DP standard ma-
sters having a reduced message length of 32 bytes (reduced parameter assign-
ment). A DP standard master of this type is the S5-95U with its integrated DP
master interface, for example.
Configuring Configure the DP/ASi link in the following order:
Step Action
1 Define the ASi installation.
2 Create the parameterization message (re-
fer to appendix C.4).
3 Create the configuration message (refer to
appendix D.3).
Commissioning You commission the DP/ASi link as described in section 4.3. The DP/ASi
link performs as described in chapter 7.
DP standard slave
The DP/ASi link behaves like a DP standard slave.
5-8
Meaning
From the installation, you learn the total num-
ber of inputs and outputs that you will assign.
The DP/ASi link requires the data contained in
the parameterization message during power up.
In the configuration message, define the num-
ber of bytes for the input and output data.
