In the hardware catalog, the PROFIBUS slaves and HART slaves
appear as modules under the isNet PNGate. To add a fieldbus
slave to the project, just drag it into a slot of the isNet PNGate.
To determine the appropriate PROFINET slot, the „isNet PNGate
Config tool“ also creates a HTML page with a table, that tells
the relationship between fieldbus slave address and PNIO slots
(please refer to 5.2.3 for an example). If e.g. there is a PROFIBUS
slave attached to channel 1 of module 1 with PROFIBUS slave
address 3, then the corresponding slot is 9, so the user needs to
drag the slave to slot 9. After adding the PROFIBUS slave into the
appropriate PROFINET slot, the slave modules need to be added
to the project. All PROFIBUS slave modules will appear as sub-
modules in the hardware catalog. To add PROFIBUS slave modules
to the project, these submodules need to be dragged into the
corresponding subslots of the slave. To skip this step, the slave can
be preconfigured in the „isNet PNGate Config tool“ (see chapter
5.2.2).
