Entering the Measurement Unit in the DP Master System:
Go to the hardware catalogue in the Profibus DP folder. The Power Analyzer installed through the
GSD file is found under the "other" field units. Highlight a module e.g. "STD: 16 Word In, 16 Byte Out"
in the catalogue, hold the mouse button down and drag it onto the DP master system. The software
then asks you for the address of the unit. Set the address that you previously set on the Power
Analyzer. Please be aware that the addresses cannot be assigned more than once. Information on the
module: it is not necessary to read out the whole profile. If just the first measurement value of a profile
(e.g. 62 Word) is required, a smaller module (e.g. 16 Word) can be selected. The following section
shows implementation of the slave unit in the hardware configuration.
After GSD installation, the unit can be found in the hardware catalogue under Profibus-DP -- > Other
field units --> General. The unit can now be inserted into the profibus line with drag and drop.
