Deployment Checklist
This is a list of the steps you must complete to install your ProTalk module. We
recommend that you read this section completely before you begin the
installation.
During this procedure, you will install the module in the rack with the processor,
set up a PROFIBUS Master, connect one or more PROFIBUS slave devices, and
then configure the processor with information about the PROFIBUS network. The
example programs you will be configuring are designed to demonstrate that the
module and the processor are correctly configured and communicating with each
other over the backplane. After this initial installation, you may need to perform
additional steps to configure the application for your specific needs.
You must complete these steps in the following order, otherwise the installation
may not be successful.
1 Install the ProSoft Configuration Builder software on your PC
Important: Earlier versions of ProSoft Configuration Builder do not support the Hot Standby
(HSBY) feature on the PTQ-PDPMV1 module. To make full use of the HSBY feature, please
download the latest version of ProSoft Configuration Builder and review the readme files from the
ProSoft Technology website at www.prosoft-technology.com/pcb.
