Profibus Configuration
Profibus-DP operates using a cyclic transfer of data between master(s) and slave(s) on an RS-485 network.
An assigned master periodically requests (polls) each node (slave) on the network. The HI 6600 is a slave
device. All data communication exchanges between a master and the HI 6600 originate from the master
device. Each HI 6600 is assigned to one master and only that master may write output data to that HI 6600.
Other masters may read information from any slave, but can only write output data to their own assigned
slaves.
Because Profibus uses a cyclic (periodic) polling mechanism between masters and slaves, it is also
deterministic. Therefore, behavior of a Profibus system can be reliably predicted over time. Profibus is
designed to guarantee a deterministic response.
The length (and timing) of the I/O data to be transferred from a single slave to a master is predefined in the
slave's device data base or GSD file. The GSD files of each device connected via the network (slaves and
class 1 masters only) are compiled into a master parameter record which contains parameterization and
configuration data, an address allocation list, and the bus parameters for all connected stations. A master uses
this information to set up communication with each slave during startup. Slaves can only acknowledge the
messages they receive or transfer messages to a master when the latter requests a slave to do so. Slaves are
also designated as passive nodes.
Refer to the section, “I/O Tables For Communications to PLCs,” in Appendix A for an understanding of
the data and format for the Profibus communications.
For a full list of command parameters, please see the "Default Parameter IDs and Values" in Appendix B.
NOTE Profibus-DP provides a very flexible network solution. In addition to the basic
guideline provided in this manual, your installation could require procedures that
are beyond the scope of this manual. For more information and to locate lists of

Configuring PROFIBUS From the Web Interface
1) From the Configuration menu select Options to open the Options menu; then Click on Profibus
Card. to open then Click on Profibus Card form. Double click in the Node text field to highlight the
current entry. Type in the HI 6600 OR HI 6510 Node address. Range:1-125 (default 5) Our example
uses the default address #5.
