Task
Comment
Open a file in COM
PROFIBUS.
You can modify an existing configuration file, if
appropriate, or create a new file.
Select a master.
Required
. Choose the 505-CP5434-DP.
Select a host.
Required
. Choose the appropriate Series 505 CPU.
Modify bus
parameters.
Optional
. You can accept the default settings, unless
you wish to modify one, such as baud rate.
Assign slave(s).
Required
. Choose slave(s), such as the 505
PROFIBUS-DP RBC, up to 112.
Parameterize
slave(s).
Optional
. (Note: If you are configuring a 505
PROFIBUS-DP RBC, PPX:505-6870, you may want
to change the settings for I/O mismatch handling and
RS-232 port communications; consult the
SIMATIC
505 PROFIBUS-DP RBC User Manual
for a
description of the software parameters of the RBC.)
Configure slave(s).
Required
. You can use either the “ID” or the “Order
Number” list to select I/O module types and assign
them to the appropriate slots in your slave device.
The “Comment” field is optional. Do not fill in the
“I. Addr.” or “O. Addr.” fields; you will assign
starting I/O addresses to each module in 505
SoftShop, and any data you assign to these fields in
COM PROFIBUS is overwritten.
Save the file.
Optional
. Allows you to add or delete slaves from
your configuration later, without re-entering all data
into COM PROFIBUS.
Export binary file to
505 SoftShop.
Required
. For convenience, you can select the disk
drive and directory where your 505 SoftShop
program is stored, and assign the binary file the same
name as the program where you intend to use the
I/O. An extension (.2BF) is automatically assigned to
the binary file; do not change this extension.
Exit COM
PROFIBUS.
You are ready to perform configuration tasks in 505
SoftShop.
Table 5.3
Importing Configuration Data From COM
PROFIBUS Into 505 SoftShop
The 505 SoftShop Profibus-DP I/O dialog box allows you to import
configuration data from the binary file that you created with COM
PROFIBUS (described above). The steps you take are the same
regardless of whether you are importing data from an entirely new
configuration, or merely importing selected items that have been
modified from a previous configuration session in COM PROFIBUS. The
Merge function performs a comparison between the current configuration
information and the contents of the selected binary file exported from
COM PROFIBUS. Only new information is written to 505 SoftShop; pre-
existing, unchanged configuration information (e.g., I/O addresses) is not
lost.
