6.3 Configuration for DP standard master operation
For DP standard master operation, the DP/PA link and the PA field devices are
configured using device master files, e.g. with COM PROFIBUS.
6.3.1 Device master files
A template file that can be used to generate the finished device master file was
created for the DP/PA link. This template does not yet contain any module IDs for
PA field devices.
Module IDs must be entered in the device master file for every PA field device that
you wish to use in the DP/PA link. A software tool (”GSD tool for IM 157”) is
available for this purpose.
You can download the imlinkv1.dat template and the GSD tool free of charge at the
following Internet address:
http://www.ad.siemens.de/csi_e/gsd
There you will also find the device master files of the PA field devices offered by
Siemens AG.
Creating a device master file
Load the imlinkv1.dat template and the GSD tool from the Internet address given
above and follow the accompanying instructions.
For the DP/PA link, the GSD tool creates a device master file, sir48052.gsd, from
the imlinkv1.dat template and from the device master files you added for the PA
field devices to be used.
