General information on PROFIBUS DP
The PROFIBUS DP is a standardized, open fieldbus, which enables data
exchange between PLCs, PCs, operating and observation devices, and also
sensors and actuators.
For more detailed information on the PROFIBUS DP, refer to the PROFIBUS
standard EN 50170 and to the current literature on the subject (e.g. M. Popp,
“
The
New Rapid Way to PROFIBUS DP
”
available (in German) from the PROFIBUS
user organization).

7.2.2
PROFIBUS DP communication parameters (GSD file)
The communication parameters for the IDENTControl Compact can be taken from
the GSD file.
The GSD file name for IDENTControl Compact IC-KP2-*HB6-V15B is:
P&F_0B65.gsd.
Configuring the bus master for PROFIBUS DP operations
If you have a configuration tool, read in the GSD file with the configuration tool.
Provide information for the device address and the size of the input and output
data fields at the same time.
The bus master is configured.
Note!
The PROFIBUS User Organization e.V. Haid- and Neu-Str. (PNO) publishes
informational brochures and a PROFIBUS product catalog
(www.PROFIBUS.com).
