All PanelView applications are created using PanelBuilder software.
Refer to the PanelBuilder software user manual for instructions on
how to configure the PanelView terminal.
The following are typical steps for developing a PanelView
application for a PROFIBUS DP network:
1. Create the PanelView PROFIBUS DP application using
PanelBuilder software. Assign control or display objects to Real
Time or Multiplex block addresses.
2. Validate and download the application to the PanelView terminal.
3. In the protocols/profibus directory, locate the electronic data sheet
for the application. Page 29 describes the electronic data sheet.
The electronic data file contains data exchange sizes and other
information specific to the application.
4. Use a PROFIBUS DP network configuration utility import
function to load the PanelView’s electronic data sheet. If your
network configuration utility does not have an import function,
you will need to manually enter the information from the
electronic data sheet. Refer to the user manual for the
PROFIBUS DP network configuration utility you are using.
5. The PROFIBUS DP network configuration utility should also
allocate the data in the controller memory associated with the
each DP slave device on the network.
6. Develop your DP Master program using the addresses mapped
by the PROFIBUS DP network utility.
