Merge COM PROFIBUS
Follow the steps below to merge in the COM PROFIBUS:
1.
Click on the Merge button to execute the merge function. You
are prompted to supply the name of the binary file from which
you wish to import configuration data.
2.
At the prompt, either type in the name of the binary file, or click the browse button
to search other drives or directories.
Result: The PROFIBUS-DP Slave Status screen displays configuration
information obtained from the COM PROFIBUS binary file that you have just
merged into 505 SoftShop.
NOTE
The merged information has not been loaded into the controller or
the offline program at this stage. You must first enter the I/O assignments,
then use the
Write All
button on the Profibus -DP I/O dialog box to load
the program.
Updating Online/Offline Profibus Configuration
To update bus parameters and any previously-configured data slaves to
the online controller or the offline program, you must use the Write All or
Write Slave(s) button on the Profibus-DP I/O dialog box.
To write all configured slaves to the online controller or the offline
program at one time, click on the Write All button.
To write selected slaves to the online controller or the offline program,
click on the Write Slave(s). You can only Write Slave(s) with a Match or
*Match under status in the slave status window.
Enable/Disable Profibus Slaves
To Enable or Disable a PROFIBUS slave status, you must use the Enable
Slave(s) or Disable Slave(s) button on the Profibus-DP I/O dialog box.
Deleting or Adding Slaves
To add or delete slaves or modules, you must return to COM
PROFIBUS, modify your configuration file as appropriate, and export it
again. Follow the procedure outlined in Merge COM PROFIBUS to
import the new information by running Merge. You can, however, delete
all slaves by clicking on the Delete All button on the Profibus-DP I/O
dialog box.
Assigning or Modifying Profibus I/O Addresses
To assign or modify the starting module addresses of your PROFIBUS-
DP slaves, you must import either configuration data from the binary file
that you created with COM PROFIBUS (described above); or connect to
a 505 controller that contains PROFIBUS-DP slaves; or open an existing
505 SoftShop program from disk that contains PROFIBUS-DP slaves.
