● Profile3
● Profile I&M
Basic preparation
1. Insert a number of objects for PROFIBUS profile devices of the appropriate type at the
desired addresses in the process device network view in a PROFIBUS PA network.
Examples:
– Sensor > Temperature > PROFILE3 > Profile3
– Siemens > SIEMENS > Profile I&M
2. Configure the ID data for the PROFIBUS devices in the object properties:
– TAG
– Description
– Message
Commissioning PROFIBUS devices
1. Connect the PROFIBUS devices in the automation system.
2. Select a device configured as a placeholder in the process device network view or in HW
Config.
3. Download the configuration to the device (section "Download to device (Page 163)").
4. Assign the required device description to the device (section "Device selection (Reassign)
(Page 202)"). Recommendation: Use the "Device identification" function.
5. Where required modify the device's online parameters.
6. Load the data from the device into the configuration (section "Upload to PG/PC
(Page 165)").
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until all devices are configured.
8. Save the data in the project.
