Configuration
Once the V7 PROFIBUS-DP Option has been installed and the drive parameters set appropriately, it is necessary to add the drive to the
PROFIBUS-DP network through the use of a configuration tool. This tool is usually supplied by the vendor that supplied the PROFIBUS-
DP Master controller. This section provides a general overview of how to select the appropriate drive configuration. The Siemens COM
PROFIBUS configuration tool is used in the examples. The examples and descriptions below assume familiarity with both PROFIBUS-DP
network and setting up a PROFIBUS-DP Master for the devices on that network.
The PROFIBUS-DP Communication Option can be configured as one of three possible I/O configurations, 16 word input/output, 6 word
input/output and 3 word I/Os, combined input/output, messages. The structure of each message is described in Chapter 3 – Network
Communications.
Configure Master Device
Copy the GSD file from the CD that came with the V7 PROFIBUS-DP Option to the GSD sub-directory under the COM
PROFIBUS directory. The GSD file may also be downloaded from
