Alarm data may be placed in either the real time or multiplex blocks.
Alarm triggers and alarm message embedded variable tags must be
located in a single block. A validation error will occur if alarm data
is not placed in a single block. The DP Master should constantly
update the block(s) containing the alarm data.
To print out the PROFIBUS DP tag attribute report from
PanelBuilder, enter the Reports menu and select the Protocol Info
check box. The report lists the sizes of the data exchange modules
and the tags located in each Real Time and Multiplex block.
Note: The PanelView application must be successfully validated
before the PROFIBUS DP tag report can be generated.
PanelBuilder validation error messages for PROFIBUS DP
applications are provided on page 36.
A generic .gsd file is provided in the protocols/profibus directory.
You can use the data sheet with any PROFIBUS application.
