5.1.2 Adding a node to the project
To add a node to the project, extend the directory tree in the right
panel of the STEP7 HW Config main window and select either the
AMT58 module available in Catalog > PROFIBUS-DP > Additional
Field Devices > Encoders (if both GSD files have been installed);
drag the required module to the pane on the left and drop it on the
“BUS”. For instance, drag the AMT58 module.
Then drag the AMT58 Class 1 or the AMT58 Class 2 submodule to
the variables table in the bottom left; for instance, install the AMT58
Class 2 submodule. In this way you set the class of the device (for
further details on available classes see section “6.2 Classes of the
Device profile” on page 29).
After having installed the node, by double-clicking on the graphic icon
of the unit you have just installed you enter the page designed to
configure the bus properties. In this page you can both enter the
node address configured via hardware and set the bus transmission
rate. For any information on setting the node address via hardware
please refer to the section “4.6 Node address: DIP A (Figure 1)” on
page 10. For any information on setting the baud rate please refer to
the section “4.7 Baud rate” on page 11.
