Commissioning Proline Promass 83 PROFIBUS DP/PA
88 Endress+Hauser
Contents of the download file from the Internet and the CD-ROM:
• All Endress+Hauser GSD files (standard and extended format)
• Endress+Hauser type files
• Endress+Hauser bitmap files
• Useful information relating to the devices
Example
Before configuration takes place, a decision should be made as to which GSD file should be used to
configure Promass 83 in the PROFIBUS master system. The following example describes the use of
the Promass 83 GSD file:
Select the Promass GSD file in the measuring device by means of the SELECTION GSD function.
BASIC FUNCTION (G) → PROFIBUS DP/PA (GBA/GCA) → OPERATION (614) → SELECTION
GSD (6140) → Select: MANUFACT. SPEC. (factory setting)
1. Before configuring the network, load the Promass 83 GSD file into the configuration
system/master system.
!
Note!
When installing the GSD file, always first use the GSD file with the extended format
(EH3x15xx.gsd). However, if the installation or the configuration of the device fails with this
format, then use the standard GSD (EH3_15xx.gsd).
Example for the configuration software Siemens STEP 7 of the Siemens PLC family
S7-300/400:
Use the Promass 83 GSD file with the extended format (EH3x15xx.gsd). Copy the file to the
subdirectory ...\ siemens \ step7 \ s7data \ gsd. Bitmap files also belong to the GSD files.
These bitmap files are used to display the measuring points in image form. The bitmap files
must be saved to the directory ...\ siemens \ step7 \ s7data \ nsbmp.
If you are using configuration software other than that referred to above, ask your PROFIBUS
master system manufacturer which directory you should use.
2. Promass 83 is a modular PROFIBUS slave, i.e. the desired module configuration (input and
output data) must be performed in the next step for Promass 83. This can be done directly by
means of the configuration software. A detailed description of the modules supported by
Promass 83 can be found on this pages:
PROFIBUS DP → Page 90 and
PROFIBUS PA → Page 103.
