9.2.9 Adding a PROFIBUS-DP node

In the hardware configuration screen, you can also add DP slaves to the CPU module with a

DP port.

1. Expand PROFIBUS-DP in the hardware catalog, and select a DP slave to add.

2. Drag and drop the DP slave onto the DP Master System line. Note that when the pointer

gets over the line, the pointer changes its appearance to that shown below.

The DP slave properties screen appears.

3. Specify a unique number between 1 and 125 as the node address.

4. Click on OK. A node is displayed for the selected DP slave in the hardware configura-

tion screen.

Double-clicking on the icon of the registered DP slave causes its properties screen to be dis-

played. To change the node address of the DP slave, click on the PROFIBUS button in this

screen.

The hardware catalog shows a list of DP slaves from Yaskawa Siemens. If you want to use

PROFIBUS-compatible DP slaves from other than Yaskawa Siemens, you must first install

them in the catalog file.
