Configuration
Configuration via the PROFIBUS
You can link the CDS to the bus node via the PROFIBUS. In this way, the communication
with the bus node is realised via the acyclic PROFIBUS service.
You need the following to configure the bus node visa the PROFIBUS:
a communication processor, e.g. Siemens CP with the master class-2 function
a PROFIBUS cable for the hardware connection to the PROFIBUS
the PROFIBUS communication driver function package for the CDS (see “Accessories”
on page 63)
You connect the CDS to the bus node via the PROFIBUS as follows:
Manually set the hardware PROFIBUS address on the bus node to the address that you
have allocated for the bus node in the hardware configuration program.
Install the communication processor.
Allocate the “PROFIBUS communication processor“ interface to the access point of
application “CP_L2_1“.
Connect the communication processor to the PROFIBUS.
Start the CDS.
In the

menu of the CDS activate the
PROFIBUS
protocol
option and set the bus-node PROFIBUS address under
Connection
.

Configuration of devices connected to the bus node
You must create a unique project in the CDS for each bus node. Within the project you
then allocate the bus node to the devices connected to the SDL connections.
If you are using function packages, the CDS can conduct plausibility tests of the entire
system. For example, it can test whether the number of the operating modes selected in
the bus node also corresponds to the number configured in the SDL device.

. Follow the configuration wizard.
First configure the devices connected to the SDL connections. To this end, follow the
notes in the operating instructions of the relevant device.
If you have connected devices that have the safe SICK device communication to the
SDL connection of the bus node, then you must configure them from the bus node. To
this end you establish a connection from the CDS to the bus node. This will enable you
to import an already existing configuration of the connected device into the bus-node
project or load one directly from the device with the aid of the CDS.
Then configure the devices connected to the field-signal connections.
Test the function of each connected device individually before testing the bus-node con-
figuration. It is otherwise more difficult to attribute a malfunction to a device or to the
bus node.
