Chapter

Configuring the Profibus Scanner

Profibus scanners are available from several manufacturers, including

SST. Chapter 4 provides instructions on how to utilize the SST Profibus

configuration software tool to:

• Install the 20-COMM-P GSD file in the software tool library

• Configure the SST-PFB-SLC Profibus Scanner.

In this example, we will be configuring two PowerFlex 70 drives, to be

Station 1 and Station 2 on a Profibus network. This will be the

configuration used throughout the manual, including the ladder

examples. Apart from the node address and scanner mapping, they will

have identical configurations. This chapter describes the steps to

configure a simple network like the network in Figure 4.1
