The PROFIBUS subnet you created is displayed as a graphic object in HW Config.

Note

PROFIBUS DP functionality is both equidistant and isochronous in nature. As such, it can

guarantee that bus cycles will have exactly the same length and ensures deterministic behavior.

Applications: Connecting drives or synchronized I/O devices.

6.3.8 Establishing a PG/PC assignment

Introduction

A PG/PC is required to create projects for a SIMOTION D410‑2 and download them to the

target device. The interface via which the PG/PC can be connected is polled during the

automatic communication configuration. If you change these settings, you must reestablish

the active designation of the PG/PC in NetPro (the PG/PC connection must appear yellow and

bold in NetPro).

Procedure

1. Open the project in SIMOTION SCOUT.

2. Click the "Open NetPro"

button.

NetPro is accessed, and the configured network is graphically displayed. The PG/PC

connection to the configured network is shown in bold in a color other than yellow.

Double-click the PG/PC you would like to configure.

The "Properties - PG/PC" dialog will be displayed with the "Assignment" tab in foreground.

4. Select the interface in the "Assigned" field and activate S7ONLINE access by clicking the

appropriate checkbox.

5. Click "OK" to accept the settings.

The PG/PC connection to the configured network is displayed again in bold and yellow.

6. Save and compile the changes and download them to the SIMOTION D410‑2.

Now you can go online again via the PG/PC.

Alternatively, you can make the assignment in SIMOTION SCOUT by clicking the

"Assign

PG/PC"

button. This calls the properties window for PG/PC assignment, where you can modify

the assignment and "activate" it (S7ONLINE access).
