Configuring the master station
After the adapter module is initialized by the drive, prepare the
master station for communication with the module. See examples
of an ABB AC500 PLC and Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLC given
below. If you are using another master system, refer to its
documentation for more information.
The examples can be applied to all drive types compatible with the
module.
Downloading the GSD file
Configuration of the master station requires a type definition (GSD)
file. Download the FPBA-01 GSD file from the Document library
(http://new.abb.com/drives/connectivity/fieldbus-
connectivity/profibus/profibus-dp-fpba).
The GSD file describes the vendor-specific and PROFIdrive-
specific features of the adapter module. Vendor-specific features
can be used, for example, in the ABB Drives communication
profile. The PROFIdrive profile supports a set of services
described in the PROFIdrive specification.
