Communications configuring 
 
3-60  System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D 
  Edition 12.2003 
−  The bus is configured using COM PROFIBUS. A database 
("master system") is created for each PROFIBUS master. This is 
used to download the particular master. 
−  If the master is configured using another tool, when configuring the 
SS52 slave, a fictitious master must be configured in 
COM PROFIBUS. It should be ensured that the bus parameters 
are correctly set: It is recommended to increase the number of 
active stations and the token rotation time in both configuring tools. 
3.5.2.3  Loading the database 
There are two ways to load the database: 
Loading via PROFIBUS DP 
•  Loading via PROFIBUS DP is the version which is the more user 
friendly.  
However, certain restrictions must be observed. 
•  A DP-capable PC card is required (currently available cards can be 
requested from the product support) 
•  The driver for the PC card is installed together with COM PROFIBUS. 
Loading is realized in COM PROFIBUS using the menu command 
File > Export > DP master. 
Loading via RS232 
•  Using the "SS52LOAD" program, a database, generated from the 
COM PROFIBUS is loaded as binary file into the SS52 module via the 
RS232 interface. 
•  SS52LOAD is integrated in COM PROFIBUS (from Version 3.1). 
•  Restriction: 
If the Sync function block SYNPRO is configured, then the 
synchronous mode must be disabled (enable input EN=0), so that the 
download functions. 
•  The binary file (*.2bf) is generated in COM PROFIBUS using the 
menu command File > Export > Binary file. 
•  Loading is realized with SS52LOAD with the menu command 
File > Download . 
•  The RS232 interface is located together with the PROFIBUS interface 
on the 9-pin connector of the SS52 module. The customer must 
assemble his own cable to establish the connection to the COM port 
of the PC. 
RS232 assignment at SS52 (no standard): 
−  2 - TxD 
−  7 - RxD
