10.4 Device Master File / Type File
The device master data is required to use the Profibus. This data must be provided in the
Siemens TYP file format. The data must be loaded into the communication partner
(Siemens operating system COMET 200 or COM PROFIBUS) before the bus system is
started up. The data is stored in the following locations:
All *.200 files are stored in the type file directory, e.g. ***/TYPDAT5X
All *.GSD files are stored in the device master file directory, e.g. ***/GSD
All *.BMP files are stored in the bitmap directory, e.g. ***/BITMAPS
The meaning of the individual device parameters is described in the PROFIBUS-PA
specification.
The device master files are provided on a diskette:
Diskette with Profibus PA device files (order no. 943157-0000)
10.5 Remote-Controlled Operation with Commuwin II
PROFIBUS-PA devices can be operated via the Commuwin II operating program (starting
with software version 1.5). Operation with Commuwin II is described in the BA 124F
operating instructions. Settings are made via the operating matrix (see Fig. 10.3) or
graphical user interface (see Fig. 10.4).
Establishing the Connection
Remote control requires installation of the PROFIBUS-PA server, and the PC must be
equipped with a PROFIBUS-PA card:
The connection to Commuwin II is established via the PROFIBUS-PA server.
The device list contains all devices connected to the segments selected.
The appropriate settings are made in the Commissioning menu.
PROFIBUS-PA profile parameters can also be displayed and set via the graphical user
interface.
