The "Properties - <Inserted object>" dialog box opens.
5. Select the "Communication" tab.
6. Make the necessary settings depending on the inserted object in the input fields:
– Remote I/O: Enter the PROFIBUS address.
– Module (device module): Enter the slot.
– PROFIBUS devices: Do not make changes to the channel settings.
7. Repeat these steps until all remote I/O, modules, and PROFIBUS devices have been added.
Configuring devices with SIMATIC PDM
1. Select the PROFIBUS DP network in the process device network view, which is of a higher
level than the added PROFIBUS devices.
2. Select the Open object command in the shortcut menu.
SIMATIC PDM opens. The PROFIBUS DP network is represented in the structure view.
You can find the remote I/O, modules, and PROFIBUS devices by opening the tree
structure.
3. Assign a function individually to the added objects (corresponding with the actual
configuration in HW Config and the connected equipment):
– Open the object by selecting its icon in the structure view.
– Select the parameters required for the function in the parameter table.
Make the required settings and save the object.
