3.2 Commissioning the DP master
3.2.1 Commissioning and communications for the master
The procedure on how to establish communications between the
master and slave is shown using an example with the following
prerequisites:
Assumptions and prerequisites:
S The master is a SIMATIC S7–315–2 DP.
S The prerequisites for commissioning are fulfilled
(refer to Chapter 3.1).
S The ”DP slave POSMO A” should be integrated into an existing
SIMATIC S7 project.
S The GSD file for the ”DP slave POSMO A” is available and installed
(refer to Chapter 4.4.2).
How communications are established:
1. Open the existing SIMATIC project.
2. In the hardware Catalog under PROFIBUS–DP, add the station
”SIMODRIVE POSMO A”.
3. Set the PROFIBUS address under properties.
The same address must be set at the positioning motor (DP slave)
using switch S1 (refer to Chapter 2.3.1).
4. Set the I/O address
Part I address O address
PKW 256–263 256–263 (each 8 bytes, addresses are only
an example)
PZD 264–267 264–267 (each 4 bytes, addresses are only
an example)
5. Close the project and transfer to the master.
6. Power–up the drive and check the LED.
Does the LED have a steady green light?
yes ––> Normal operation, communications is error–free
no ––> Evaluate the status of the LED (refer to Chapter 6.1)
The drive itself identifies the selected baud rate.
Note
The DP master can now communicate with the SIMODRIVE
POSMO A DP slave which has been powered–up.
