4)Set the Baud Rate to a value supported by the Slaves and your cabling media. Choose a highest Station on the network if you wish to enhance performance, which will prevent the Master from scanning non-existant Stations. Click OK to complete the network configuration.

5)Drag your Slave devices onto the right window pane and configure them as per manufacturer’s instructions. Choose a unique Station ID for each Slave.

There has to be Node descriptor with matching Node ID to Station ID for each Slave setup in the FieldServer’s config.csv file.

Important Note:

All Profibus Masters check for a match in the connection size in bytes to Slaves before allowing a connection. Make sure you add the appropriate Modules for Input/Output Data to create a connection size that matches the connection size setup in the Slave device; otherwise the Master will not connect to the Slave.
