System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 12.2003
−
The bus is configured using COM PROFIBUS. A database
("master system") is created for each PROFIBUS master. This is
used to download the particular master.
−
If the master is configured using another tool, when configuring the
SS52 slave, a fictitious master must be configured in
COM PROFIBUS. It should be ensured that the bus parameters
are correctly set: It is recommended to increase the number of
active stations and the token rotation time in both configuring tools.
3.5.2.3
Loading the database
There are two ways to load the database:
Loading via PROFIBUS DP
•
Loading via PROFIBUS DP is the version which is the more user
friendly.
However, certain restrictions must be observed.
•
A DP-capable PC card is required (currently available cards can be
requested from the product support)
•
The driver for the PC card is installed together with COM PROFIBUS.
Loading is realized in COM PROFIBUS using the menu command
File > Export > DP master
.
Loading via RS232
•
Using the "SS52LOAD" program, a database, generated from the
COM PROFIBUS is loaded as binary file into the SS52 module via the
RS232 interface.
•
SS52LOAD is integrated in COM PROFIBUS (from Version 3.1).
•
Restriction:
If the Sync function block SYNPRO is configured, then the
synchronous mode must be disabled (enable input EN=0), so that the
download functions.
•
The binary file (*.2bf) is generated in COM PROFIBUS using the
menu command
File > Export > Binary file
.
•
Loading is realized with SS52LOAD with the menu command
File > Download
.
•
The RS232 interface is located together with the PROFIBUS interface
on the 9-pin connector of the SS52 module. The customer must
assemble his own cable to establish the connection to the COM port
of the PC.
RS232 assignment at SS52 (no standard):
−
2 - TxD
−
7 - RxD
