GE Industrial Solutions AF-600 FP Profibus DP - Manual (Page 9)

1.7 Assumptions
This manual assumes you are using the AF-6 Series Drives Profibus DP Communications Module in conjunction with an AF-650 GP or AF-600 FP drive. It is also
assumed that your master is a PLC or PC equipped with a serial communication card supporting all the PROFIBUS communication services required by your
application, and that all requirements stipulated in the PROFIBUS standard, as well as those set up in the PROFIBUS Variable Speed Drive Profile and its company-
specific implementation PROFIdrive, as well as those pertaining to the AF-6 Series Drive are strictly observed as well as all limitations therein fully respected.
1.8 Hardware
These Operating Instructions relate to the Profibus network Model No. OPCPDP.
The Profibus Option will be identified as: OPCPDP Profibus DP V1 in par. ID-60 Option Mounted.
1.9 Background Knowledge
The Profibus DP Communications Module is designed to communicate with any master complying with the PROFIBUS standard. Familiarity with the PC or PLC
you intend to use as a master in your system is assumed. Issues regarding hardware or software produced by other manufacturers are beyond the scope of this
manual, and are not the responsibility of GE.
If you have questions regarding set-up of master-to-master communication, or communication to a non-GE slave, please consult the appropriate manuals.
