Configuration of the bus system
7.1
GSD file
Wiring all bus stations together is not sufficient to commission PROFIBUS DP.
The following additional measures are required:
•
Different bus addresses must be set on the master and on all slaves.
•
With older slaves which are unable to find the baud rate automatically, the
same baud rate must be set as on the master (the devices of the 5
th
generation of STÖBER inverters are able to find the baud rate automatically).
•
The master must be informed as to how many slaves are connected together
with their characteristics and bus addresses.
The baud rate must be set on the master under consideration of the segment
lengths and the total distance of the bus.
This work is performed on the master side using configuration software. This
software must read the device master data files (GSD files) from all stations. The
GSD files are like electronic data sheets which contain the information on the
PROFIBUS characteristics such as supported baud rates, supported modules,
and so on. They are provided by the manufacturer for each PROFIBUS device.
The GSD file for the devices of the 5th generation of STÖBER inverters has the
designation STOE5005.GSD. The file can be downloaded from the Internet under
www.stoeber.de.
Information
The change in the PROFIBUS address of a slave is not accepted
until the next device startup of the bus master. This was
standardized to prevent the occurrence of dangerous system states
due to double/non-addressed stations. Before switch-off, it is
imperative that the drive data be stored on the inverter safe from a
power failure with
A00 save values
= 1. After action
A00
is
concluded successfully, the device can be turned off and on. After
this the new PROFIBUS address is active.
