the fieldbus interface for I/O on the Profibus network. I/O in the fieldbus interface must be
linked with I/O in the radio interface via appropriate
fieldbus mappings
(see
4.8 Fieldbus
Configuration
above) for I/O transfer with the radio network.
Configuration of the Profibus network is through the
Profibus Network Config
tab in WI Series
Configuration Software. Through this section, the entire (local) Profibus network including I/O
data transfer with Profibus slaves is configured. Before a Profibus slave is configured on the
network, its corresponding GSD file must be installed. To install a GSD file choose
File|Install
GSD File
. Once the GSD file(s) have been installed, the devices corresponding to those GSD
files will appear as devices on the Profibus DP
treeview
on the left side of the network
configuration screen.
The Profibus network configuration screen is divided into three main areas (see below). The left
hand
Profibus DP Treeview
displays all the available slaves, i.e. those whose corresponding GSD
files have been installed. The right hand top section
Busview
displays graphically the devices that
are currently configured on the Profibus network – individual devices can be selected here and
their I/O configuration and other properties viewed/altered. The right hand bottom section
Listview
shows the I/O configuration of a particular slave when a slave device is selected in the
busview, or the network configuration (i.e. what slaves are configured and their corresponding
addresses) when the Profibus master node is selected in the busview.
300Adding a Slave to the Network
To add a Profibus slave to the network, locate the required slave and simply drag the slave icon
onto the visible bus cable on the busview, or right click the required slave and choose
add to
network
. To add a slave with a specific Profibus node address to the network, locate the required
slave and drag the icon to the network listview (ensure that the master node is selected in the
busview so that the network list is displayed in the listview rather than the slave I/O
