Setting the address via par. 9-18

Node address

or the Profibus SSA-command is possible, if the

hardware switches are set to 126 or 127 (factory switch setting). The address change will come

into effect at the next power-up.

Setting the PROFIBUS Address with “Set Station Address” Command:

Setting the address via the "Set Station Address" command is possible, if the hardware switch is

set to 126 or 127 (factory switch setting). Using the "Set Station Address" command it is possible

to lock the programmed address, which makes it impossible to change the address using this

command. The address setting can be unlocked by changing the par. 9-18

Node address

or the

address switch, followed by a power cycle. A new address is effective immediately after the "Set

Station Address" command.

3.2. Configure the Master

3.2.1. GSD File

In order to configure a PROFIBUS Master, the configuration tool needs a GSD file for each type

of slave on the network. The GSD file is a PROFIBUS DP “standard” text file containing the nec-

essary communications setup data for a slave. Download the GSD file for the FC 100, 200 and 300

Drives at http://www.danfoss.com/drives.

GSD file

1.x da01040A.GSD

2.x da02040A.GSD

The first step in configuration of the PROFI-

BUS Master is to import the GSD file in the

configuration tool. The steps outlined below

show how to add a new GSD file to the Simatic

Manager software tool. For each drive series,

a GSD file is typically imported once only, fol-

lowing the initial installation of the software

tool.

Using the browser for the GSD file, choose to

install All files, which will mean that both a

GSD file and a bitmap for the device will be

imported into the Hardware catalogue.
