SYCON.net PROFIBUS MPI DTM (Operating Instruction Manual)

Configuration 46/119
4 Configuration
4.1 Overview Configuration Steps
To configure the PROFIBUS MPI device, you must configure the
PROFIBUS MPI bus parameters and download them to the device.
If your project is coupled to a PLC via PROFIBUS MPI, you must also
create the PLC signal configuration and set the signals for additional
processing. Therefore you can import and customize a STEP 7 project in
the PROFIBUS MPI DTM or alternatively configure the PLC signals without
STEP7 import directly in the process data-editor of the DTM. In the process
data-editor, you define all the PLC signals to which the OPC server will
access later. The configuration of these signals then is provided for the
additional processing in a process-data XML file.
Configure and download PROFIBUS MPI Busparameters
To configure the bus parameters of the PROFIBUS MPI device using the
PROFIBUS MPI DTM, you must perform the following steps.
1. Configuration of the PROFIBUS MPI Bus Parameters.
2. Download of the PROFIBUS MPI Bus Parameters.
For PLC-Coupling: Signal Configuration with / without STEP7 Project
Import and configure STEP7 signals for PROFIBUS MPI:
1. Import the STEP 7 Project.
2. Configure STEP7 Signals with the Process Data-Editor.
3. Select signals for the additional processing.
Or:
Configure PLC signals for PROFIBUS MPI without STEP7 project:
1. Reset „Use PLC Program“.*
* If an imported STEP7 project shall not be used.
2. Configure Signals without STEP 7 Project.
3. Select all signals for the additional processing.
