System Description

System Concept

GX Configurator-DP is the configuration tool for PROFIBUS interfaces in MITSUBISHI PLCs. It

provides functions for defining a PROFIBUS network, validating the configuration and

downloading it to the respective PLC module via a MITSUBISHI automation network. For remote

access independent of the user platform a web server is included.

Architecture

GX Configurator-DP takes information on PROFIBUS DP slaves from GSD files, which are

specific to the respective slave module and typically provided by the vendor of the slave

hardware. It generates information for use in GX IEC Developer (GID) in form of program code

and CPU parameters (autorefresh).
