SyCon
To define the network topology and PROFIBUS-DP system characteristics,
the C200HW-PRM21 needs to be provided with information about the slave
units connected to the network, and basic communication parameters.
This information is entered in the Unit by means of the configuration software
package SyCon (V.1.5 or higher). It is not possible to use other (general-
purpose) PROFIBUS-DP configuration software packages available from 3
rd
parties.

Introduction
The configuration software package for the C200HW-PRM21 PROFIBUS-DP
master is used to define:
•
The configuration of the bus system connected to the C200HW-PRM21.
•
Configuration- and parameter data of all connected slave stations.
•
Overall bus communication settings.
All configuration data can be prepared offline. A serial communication link
with the C200HW-PRM21 is only necessary to download the configuration file
to the Unit, and for debugging purposes.
After the initial configuration has been downloaded, the software package can
be used for:
•
Addition / deletion of slave units or -modules.
•
Monitoring the PROFIBUS system status.
•
Troubleshooting communication problems.
It is not possible to set up the C200HW-PRM21 without this configuration
software. Once the configuration data has been downloaded into the Unit, the
software package is no longer required during normal operation.
