12.8 Parameterization via PROFIBUS
12.8.1 SIMOCODE ES Premium
With SIMOCODE ES Premium you can parameterize all the SIMOCODE pro
devices which are connected to the same PROFIBUS DP network from a
central location. Parameter data which has been previously created with the
software can therefore be transmitted directly to SIMOCODE pro via
PROFIBUS DP.
Note
A PC with a system connection for PROFIBUS (e.g. SIMATIC NET CP 5512
or CP 5611) is required to carry out online functions via PROFIBUS DP, e.g.
transfer of SIMOCODE pro parameters.
The above-mentioned system connections for PROFIBUS are operated
together with SIMOCODE ES Premium as a class 2 master and use acyclic
DPV1 communication functions for the communication with
SIMOCODE pro.
If SIMOCODE pro is integrated as an S7 slave you can use the routing
function in connection with SIMOCODE ES Premium. A prerequisite for
using this function is that a network connection (for example via Industrial
Ethernet) can be established between the PC with SIMOCODE ES installed
and the SIMATIC controller which supports routing.
In this manner, routing can be used to reach all SIMOCODE pro devices that
are connected to the controller.
Notice
The startup parameter block (Device Parameter > Bus Parameter) must
always be set for this form of parameterization to avoid overwriting the
device parameters with any existing parameter data during startup.
