4) Set the Baud Rate to a value supported by the Slaves and your cabling media. Choose a
highest Station on the network if you wish to enhance performance, which will prevent the
Master from scanning non-existant Stations. Click OK to complete the network configuration.
5) Drag your Slave devices onto the right window pane and configure them as per
manufacturer’s instructions. Choose a unique Station ID for each Slave.
There has to be Node descriptor with matching Node ID to Station ID for each Slave setup
in the FieldServer’s config.csv file.
Important Note:
All Profibus Masters check for a match in the connection size in bytes to Slaves before
allowing a connection. Make sure you add the appropriate Modules for Input/Output Data to
create a connection size that matches the connection size setup in the Slave device;
otherwise the Master will not connect to the Slave.
