• Open STEP 7 HW Con󹪝g. From the Hardware Catalog, Pro󹪝le standard, navigate to PROFIBUS

DP -> Switching Devices → Simocode DP(PDM). Place this device on the PROFIBUS network.

Here DP corresponds to the SIMOCODE DP device parameter Operating Mode DP-norm.

• In this con󹪝guration, DPV1 data record functions are not available. Assign the PROFIBUS-DP

address. Select device slot 1 and con󹪝gure it as Basic Type 2 Compact

• For the Y-Link, when SIMOCODE DP is parameterized as Basic Type 2 compact, the number

of SIMOCODE-DP devices is limited to 47 (max). This limitation is due to a maximum number

of the slots within one Y-Link (47 x 5 slots = 235 slots, max. 236 slots). Also please refer to the

information given in the Y-Link manual.
