How to connect to a PLC
The steps in successfully connecting to the Profibus:
1. Physically connect the device to the Profibus (see page 8 and page 9)
2. Configure the device parameters, see page 12 (can also be carried out
using HBM‘s “PME-Assitent“ software).
3. Configure the Profibus message and set up its parameters with the aid of a
configuration tool (such as Step7) and GSE files, or manually as shown in
chapter 6.2.
A GSE file describes the properties of a Profibus node in standardized form.
The configuration tool uses it to define which data held on individual bus
nodes will be exchanged on the Profibus.
A default GSE file for PME modules is supplied with the device (on system
CD: hbmxxx.gsd = German version; hbmxxxgse = English version).
