9 Configuring and setting up the device
9.1 Basic principles
The device is always configured with a number of text files that must be in the CSV format.
In the configuration files, the PROFIBUS specific communication parameters, like address
ranges and slave numbers are set. Furthermore, the signals to be measured are defined.
The configuration files can be transferred to the ibaBM-DPM-S device in three different
ways:
1. Direct configuration of the device via Web interface, see chapter 9.4 “Configuration of
t
he device via the Web interface“. Then, please make sure that the configuration of the
program (ibaPDA-V6, ibaLogic-V4) is in accordance with the device configuration.
ibaPDA-V6 can read the configuration out of the device, provided that the device is
online.
2. The device is configured in the ibaPDA-V6 I/O manager or in an editor. A CF card is
used as a means of transportation, see chapter 9.2 “Transferring the configuration with
the Comp
actFlash
®
card“.
3. The device is configured in the ibaPDA-V6 I/O manager. The parameters are trans-
ferred directly to the device via TCP/IP (USB or Ethernet).
If you use ibaPDA, and a TCP/IP connection is established between PC and ibaBM-
DPM-S, we generally recommend the 3rd way of configuration. This way, both, ibaPDA
and the device are configured, and you can be sure that both work with the same parame-
ters. Parameters are then transferred automatically when the configuration is done (with
<OK> or <Apply>).
When changing the slave configuration of the ibaBM-DPM-S device during operation (add-
ing or removing slaves, or transferring slaves to another bus), the slave is temporarily de-
coupled from the PROFIBUS. The communication to the DP master is interrupted. In case
the PLC (e.g. SIMATIC S7) is not safeguarded by OBs, the PLC stops operating!
In case you change addresses and data of defined slaves, the PROFIBUS communication
is not disturbed!
Please, only define active slaves if those are identical to the ibaBM-DPM-S. Never use
slave numbers of other devices as active slaves! This disturbs communication on the
PROFIBUS.
