8.3 Requirements for fieldbus operation
Correct startup of the device is prerequisite for fieldbus operation. For further informa-
tion, refer to chapter "Parameter setting"(→2154).
8.4 Project planning examples
8.4.1 Configuring process data exchange
The following example describes the configuration of the process data exchange
between the Modbus/TCP master (PLC) and the device in PL7PRO.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the IP address of the device (→229).
2. In the Application Browser in PL7 PRO, add the device to the hardware configura-
tion for the "IOScanning" function (→290).
3. Create a new section via "STATION">"Program">"MAST Task" >"Sections".

ð In the example, the setpoints for the drive start at MW150.
4. Save the project and transfer it to the PLC.
5. Switch to RUN mode of the PLC.
ð Process data exchange via Modbus/TCP is active. The actual values of the
device can be read and setpoints can be written.
6. Check if the process data correspond to the values that are displayed in the para-
meter tree or the diagnostics plug‑in for the active IEC program of the
