Simatic 505 SoftShop
Clearing a Base I/O Configuration
1.
Start from Edit I/O Base dialog box (Figure 5.6).
2.
Click on the Clear Base button on the Edit I/O Base dialog box.
You have finished setting up the software and the hardware. The next
step is programming. The
Programming
chapter discusses 505
SoftShop’s many different features for developing ladder logic. You can
program in online or offline mode.
Profibus-DP I/O Configuration
To configure I/O used on the PROFIBUS-DP channel for your Series 505
system, you must use two configuration utilities.
The first utility you use is COM PROFIBUS that allows you to perform
the following tasks:
•
Select a master and host, thereby determining communication
parameters.
•
Configure and parameterize the I/O slaves (including any 505
PROFIBUS-DP RBCs) that you wish to use on the PROFIBUS-
DP I/O channel.
•
Save your configuration. (This file should be archived in case
you want to make configuration changes at a later time.)
•
Export your configuration to a binary file. 505 SoftShop uses
information from this binary file to perform further I/O
configuration.
•
If you need to add or delete slaves or modules or modify bus
parameters later, you must use COM PROFIBUS to modify the
configuration file and adjust the necessary information before
exporting and merging it into 505 SoftShop again.
The second program you use is 505 SoftShop. 505 SoftShop allows you
to perform the following tasks:
•
Use the Merge function to import information from the binary
file that you created with COM PROFIBUS.
•
Assign or modify starting I/O addresses for the modules of all
PROFIBUS-DP slaves used by your Series 505 CPU.
•
Load bus parameters and slaves.
•
Toggle between operate and stop mode, and between
synchronous and asynchronous communications.
•
Enable or disable slaves.
Configuring I/O Modules in COM PROFIBUS
This section is not intended as a tutorial in COM PROFIBUS. The
SIMATIC S5 ET 200 Distributed I/O System Manual
describes how to
use COM PROFIBUS; consult that manual for detailed information.
Also, COM PROFIBUS has extensive, context-sensitive help.
Your objective in creating a configuration file with COM PROFIBUS is
to define module types for each slave. Once you accomplish that, you can
export the configuration file in binary form to 505 SoftShop, where you
assign starting I/O addresses to each module.
Table 5.3 provides the information you need in order to configure your
slave devices in COM PROFIBUS.
