8 Integration into the Profibus Network
If the device is running due to chapter 7 all to do is to integrate the slave into the PLC environment.
The steps are that one which are common when integration a Profibus slave:
• load GSD-file into the PLC
• Check existing Profibus network for unused slave adress. Adjust unused slave adress in the ARE

• Check position of termination switch of the ARE K1 /PFB device, only the device at the end of
the network line has to be terminted!
• Allocate the node adress in the PLC
