Configuring

Profibus

communication

In the hardware screen,

double-click on the Profibus

card to open the Profibus

configuration. Next, use the

“Load CNF” button to enter the

name of the Sycon software

export file.

The table on the left-hand side

then displays the stations,

along with their addresses and

IDs. Click on a station to add

its address to the two tables

on the right-hand side.

The individual station addresses are consecutive input and output words, which use the

Profibus card slot for orientation during the addressing process. As a guideline for

addressing, %IWr.s.c.x applies to inputs and %QWr.s.c.x to outputs. “r” represents the

rack number, “s” the slot number and “c” the channel number. The consecutive input

and output words are numbered with “x”. Therefore, the example above results in

%IW0.3.0.x and %QW0.3.0.x. An individual bit within the word can also be referenced

by adding a fifth character to the address (see I/O data address overview).

Other configuration options affect:

1. The behavior of the outputs

2. The number of words on the bus

3. The number of diagnostic bytes

4. The task assignment

No changes have to be made here for the example project.
