4.9 C-BOX 300 Configuration for Profibus DP Slave Node
In order to setup the C-BOX 300, you need to install the function blocks in your PLC
programming software and configure it.
The procedure below can be generally applied for this purpose:
1. Start the PROFIBUS configurator on the DP Master.
2. The .GSD-file is extracted automatically with the installation of the VisoSetup
software. It can be found under ...\Visosetup\CBox3x0.
3. Load the .GSD file HMS_1810.GSD in the configurator.
4. Configure the C-BOX 300 (through VisoSetup) setting the parameters according
to the PROFIBUS network application as described in the configurator's Help
On-Line or User's Manual.
For standard applications please choose „Universalmodul“ in your PROFIBUS-
configurator. The I/O-area must be defined in the same way, done with the VisoSetup-
software (for example 32 byte output, 8 byte input). It’s necessary to choose the whole
data-area as consistent.
I/O-area of PLC:
Input
Byte 0 state byte (toggling at every new action)
Byte 1 Profibus adress C-Box 300
Byte 2 Service Access Point
Byte 3 real length of user data (incl. LF, CR, start,
stop)
starting Byt e 4 user data
Output
Byte 0 state byte (has to be toggled at every new
action)
Byte 1 Profibus adress C-Box 300
Byte 2 always 0
Byte 3 real length of user data (incl. LF, CR, start,
stop)
starting Byt e 4 user data (for example <STX> or <ETX> as
start/stop for softwaretrigger)
