Configuring the Distributed I/O (DP)
3.2 Where Are the DP Slaves in the Hardware Catalog
Window?
All DP slaves can be found in the "Hardware Catalog" window under the
"PROFIBUS-DP" folder.
The following applies here:
The DP master is...
• ...a SIMATIC 300 or SIMATIC 400 CPU with integrated PROFIBUS-DP
interface, a PROFIBUS CP (without CP 342-5DA00) in a SIMATIC 300/400 or a
SIMATIC PC station with a PROFIBUS CP (without CP 5611/CP 5613)
The DP slaves appear under their "family name" (e.g. PROFIBUS-
DP\ET 200B).
• ...a CP 342-5DA00 with PROFIBUS-DP interface or an SIMATIC PC station
with CP 5611/CP 5613:
The DP slaves appear either in the "DP V0 Slaves" folder and then under their
family name
(e.g. PROFIBUS DP\DP V0 Slaves\ET 200B).
The "DP V0 Slaves" contains the DP slaves represented by their GSD file or type
file (referred to as "Standard Slaves").
Folders designated with the family name and located directly under PROFIBUS DP
(e.g. PROFIBUS DP\ET 200B) usually contain the DP slaves whose properties are
represented by internal STEP 7 information (referred to as "S7 Slaves").
The DP slave was purchased separately (with a new *.GSD file)
The DP slave will appear under "Other Field Devices" after you have installed the
*.GSD file.
The DP slave is an intelligent DP slave
Examples: You can configure stations as a DP slave with:
• CP 342-5 DP
• CPU 315-2 DP, CPU 316-2 DP, CPU 318-2 DP
• Basic submodule ET 200X (BM 147/CPU)
• IM 151/CPU (ET 200S)
The DP slave appears under the "Configured Stations" folder after configuring the
station. The procedure (how does a station appear in the "Configured Stations"
folder?) is described in detail in the section about configuring the intelligent DP
slaves.
