3.2 Configuring the Module
ProSoft Technology has provided a configuration tool called ProSoft
Configuration Builder (PCB) that will help you with the following tasks:
 Creating a configuration project
 Setting module parameters
 Configuring the PROFIBUS network (Master and slaves)
 Calculating
checksums
 Copying the project to the module.
The following topics of this chapter explain each task step-by-step.
3.2.1 Setting Up the Project
To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). If you have used other
Windows configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar.
PCB’s window consists of a tree view on the left, an information pane and a
configuration pane on the right side of the window. When you first start PCB, the
tree view consists of folders for Default Project and Default Location, with a
Default Module in the Default Location folder. The illustration below shows the
PCB window with a new project.
