COM PROFIBUS

COM PROFIBUS is a tool used for fieldbus configuring and for parameterization of the bus stations prior to commissioning. COM PROFIBUS can be installed on the commissioning terminal or on a PC/programming device with Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

The tasks of COM PROFIBUS include configuration of the field- bus, generation of the address list, parameterization of slave modules, setting of the transmission rate on the fieldbus, and setting of the failure response.

Slave modules from other vendors can also be parameterized. The vendors usually enclose type/GSD files with their products for linking into the parameterization tools. If these type/GSD files are not available, you can also obtain them using the support services on the Internet sites of the respective vendors or of the PNO (PROFIBUS International). According to EN 50 170, Part 3, these files can also be generated using the master device data if you are sufficiently knowledgeable.
