Parameter assignment / addressing
5.2 Creating a project and configuring the communication
SIMOTION D4x5-2
Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual, 02/2012
117
A PROFIBUS subnet with factory settings (1.5 Mbit/s transmission rate) is created
automatically.
The PG/PC is now connected to the SIMOTION D4x5-2 via PROFIBUS. You can configure
and parameterize your system.
Note
If you do not use the factory settings, you must configure the PROFIBUS interfaces in HW
Config. Please make sure that the S7 online access has been activated (PG/PC connection
must be yellow and bold in NetPro).
Inserting a further SIMOTION device
If you insert a further SIMOTION device using "Insert SIMOTION device", the PG/PC
interface selection dialog box is not displayed. A further SIMOTION device is automatically
connected to the PG/PC via PROFIBUS and a new unique IP address (address 4, 5, etc.
until 125 is reached) is calculated.
