Device Assignment
PROLINX SyCon is able to configure different devices in a PROFIBUS network.
To run the online functions of such a device, it must be defined how PROLINX
SyCon can communicate with it. This is done in the menu item Device
Assignment.
The external connection can be checked with the buttons Connect COM 1 to
Connect COM 4. PROLINX SyCon sends a request on that COM port and asks
for the firmware. If there is a Master device connected, the firmware is displayed
otherwise there will be a timeout error.
Bus Parameter
For a PROFIBUS DP system with one master, the only parameter that must be
selected is the baud rate.
