Configuration
in parallel with the planning phase and cannot generally be concluded until the bus node
has been configured successfully.
Chapter 12.1 on page 65 contains a planning table for the configuration. Use a printout or
a copy of the planning table to plan and document the bus-node configuration.

PROFIBUS configuration of the bus node
8.3.1
Loading the generic station description (GSD)
Before configuring the PROFIBUS for the bus node for the first time, you must load the
generic station description of the bus node into the hardware catalogue of the hardware-
configuration program for the PROFIBUS.
Insert the CD
D
ROM “CDS — Configuration & Diagnostic Software” contained in the
package into the CD
D
ROM drive of the notebook/PC, on which you have installed the
PROFIBUS manager of your FPLC.
The generic station descriptions for the different bus nodes can be found on CD
D
ROM in
the directories “\UE4100\GSG“ (German) and “\UE4100\GSD“ (English).
Following the instructions of the online help or in the user manual of the PROFIBUS
manager, for loading the generic station description.
The bus node then appears for example by using the SIMATIC manager (Siemens) in the
hardware catalogue under
PROFIBUS DP
in subgroup
I/O
.
8.3.2
Adding the bus node to the hardware configuration
To evaluate the bus-node data in the FPLC, you must …
add the bus node to the hardware configuration.
set identical values for the PROFIBUS address in the PROFIBUS manager and on the
bus node (see chapter 8.4.1 on page 42).
The procedure associated with this depends on the hardware-configuration program of the
FPLC you are using. On this topic, please also read the documentation for the correspond-
ing program.
8.3.3
Establishing the starting address in the process image
The starting address determines the location of the PROFIBUS process image at which the
data supplied from the bus node arrive at the FPLC. The input and output process image of
bus node UE4155 is 10 bytes in size. A detailed representation of the process images is
contained in Appendix 12.2 “Process images” on page 67.
