3.3.3 Operating SIMOTION D410 on PROFIBUS DP.

PROFIBUS DP interface (X21)

SIMOTION D410 provides an interface for connecting to PROFIBUS DP. The interface
supports transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s.
The PROFIBUS DP interface can be operated as:
● DP slave, isochronous
● DP master, isochronous
● DP slave, not isochronous
● DP master, not isochronous
Both PROFIBUS DP interfaces are set by default for operation as master at address 2 at a
transmission rate of 1.5 Mbit/s. The PROFIBUS DP network is automatically detected and
generated for this setting.
However, you can select other settings. Such user-specific settings must be configured in
HW Config and NetPro.
3.3.4 Creating a new PROFIBUS DP subnet
The SIMOTION D410 device is networked using SIMOTION SCOUT. Set up your user-
specific bus parameters for the PROFIBUS interface when you configure the network.
Note
The actions outlined below only need to be taken if you have not selected an interface when
integrating SIMOTION D410 into the project (cf. chapter "Integrating SIMOTION D410 into a
project").
Next, interconnect the programming device / PC using NetPro with the device, see the
chapter "Configuring the programming device / PC interface".
1. Double-click the "D410" entry in the Project Navigator in order to open HW Config.
2. Double-click the DP/MPI interface in the SIMOTION D410 representation in HW Config.
The "Properties - DP/MPI" dialog box opens.
3. Click "Properties" in the "General" tab to open the "PROFIBUS interface DP/MPI" dialog
box.
4. Click "New" to open the "Properties - New PROFIBUS Subnet" dialog box.
5. Name the new subnet, and then enter its properties in the "Network settings" tab, for
example, the transmission rate.
6. Click "OK" to accept the settings.
The new subnet is now displayed in the "Properties - PROFIBUS interface DP/MPI"
dialog box and is ready for being interconnected with the PROFIBUS DP interface.
7. Save and compile the changes.
The PROFIBUS subnet you created is displayed as a graphic object in HW Config.
