Advantages of configurations with I-slaves
The I-slave offers the following advantages:
●
Simple coupling of CPUs with PROFIBUS interface
●
Real-time communication between CPUs and PROFIBUS interface
●
Distributed processing
A complex automation task can be divided into smaller units/subprocesses. This results
in manageable processes which lead to simplified subtasks.
●
Relieving the DP master by distributing the computing capacity to I-devices
●
Lower communication load by processing process data locally
●
Separating subprocesses
Complicated, widely distributed and extensive processes can be subdivided into several
subprocesses with manageable interfaces by using I-slaves. These subprocesses can be
stored in individual STEP 7 projects if necessary, which can later be merged to form one
master project.
●
Separating STEP 7 projects
Creators and users of an I-device can have completely separated STEP 7 projects. The
GSD file together with the configuration of the transfer areas of the I-slave form the
interface between the STEP 7 projects. This allows coupling to standard DP masters via
a standardized interface.
●
Know-how protection
Plant units can now only be delivered with a GSD file and the configuration of the transfer
areas instead of with a STEP 7 project for the I-slave interface description. This means
that you no longer have to disclose the user program know-how.
