Proceed as follows to configure the PROFIBUS DP interface:
Procedure
1. In the "Interface Selection - D4x5" dialog box, select the entry "PROFIBUS DP/MPI (X136)".
Figure 6-2
Selecting a PROFIBUS interface
2. Select the interface parameter assignment that you would like to use to go online, and
confirm with "OK".
The dialog box is closed, the SIMOTION D4x5-2 is created in the project navigator and HW
Config is started automatically (if parameterized).
A PROFIBUS subnet with factory settings (1.5 Mbit/s transmission rate) is created
automatically.
The PG/PC is now connected to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 via PROFIBUS. You can configure
and parameterize your system.
Note
If you do not use the factory settings, you must configure the PROFIBUS interfaces in HW
Config. Please make sure that the S7 online access has been activated (PG/PC connection
must be yellow and bold in NetPro).
Inserting a further SIMOTION device
If you insert a further SIMOTION device using "Insert SIMOTION device", the PG/PC interface
selection dialog box is not displayed. A further SIMOTION device is automatically connected
to the PG/PC via PROFIBUS and a new unique IP address (address 4, 5, etc. until 125 is
reached) is calculated.
