up the PROFIBUS. See the topic for the mode you will be using for parameterization
and configuration values.
3. Configure the PROFIBUS Network
The PROFIBUS network configuration is stored in the master PROFIBUS device.
Creating this configuration is the most difficult step in making the network work.
This step requires a device description file (GSD file) from each device in the
network, including the RMC.
The following steps outline configuring your PROFIBUS-DP network. The steps are
general because various manufacturers handle these steps differently.
1. Open your PROFIBUS-DP master configuration program.
2. If you are modifying an existing PROFIBUS-DP network, open your current
configuration file.
3. If you are creating a new PROFIBUS-DP network, you must create a new
network, add a master device to the network, and select the baud rate of the
network.
4. Add the RMC's GSD file to your configuration programs GSD database if it is
not already there.
5. Add and configure an RMC75P Motion Controller or RMC150E Motion
Controller slave device to the network. This involves selecting the correct
configuration module for your RMC module and application. Refer to Step 2,
Determining the Appropriate GSD Configuration Module, for details on
selecting the correct configuration module.
6. Select the addresses that the master will use for the registers read from the
RMC.
7. The PROFIBUS configuration should include a Word Order setting. Because
PROFIBUS-DP does not specify the word order for 32-bit values, Delta allows
the order to be swapped through this setting. You will probably not know
which is correct until later in the process. If you receive data over the
PROFIBUS network, but the values are not what you expect or do not make
sense, return to this step and try swapping the word order.
8. Add any other RMC devices you want on the same network. To do this, repeat
steps 5, 6 and 7.
9. Save your configuration.
10. Send the configuration to the master device. This step varies greatly
depending on the type of master you use.
If you are using COM PROFIBUS, SyCon, or SST Profibus Configuration, you should

4. Ready to use PROFIBUS!
Once you have configured the PROFIBUS, can begin the communications. For details
on how to use it, see the topic for the mode you have chosen:
I/O Mode (4, 8, 16, or 32 regs)
Basic (RMC75P only)
Basic+ (RMC75P only)
Enhanced (RMC75P only)
Enhanced+ (RMC75P only)
