13.2.1.1  PROFIBUS commissioning steps 
Please observe the information in Chapter General information about commissioning and 
service (Page 255). 
To commission SIMOCODE pro, proceed as follows: 
Table 13- 2  Commissioning the basic unit  
1  Switch on the power supply. In a fault-free state, the following LEDS should light up or flash green: 
•  "Device" (lights up) 
•  "Bus" if PROFIBUS DP is connected (lights up or flashes). 
Proceed to Step 2. 
Otherwise, carry out diagnostics according to the LED display. For more information, see Chapter 
Diagnostics via 
LED display on the basic unit and on the operator panel (PROFIBUS) (Page 259). Try to rectify the fault. 
2  If you wish to make SIMOCODE pro available on the PROFIBUS DP, set the PROFIBUS DP address. For more 
information, see Chapter Setting the PROFIBUS DP address (Page 258). 
3  Parameterize SIMOCODE pro or check the existing parameterization, e.g. with a PC on which SIMOCODE ES (TIA 
Portal) software is installed. For this, connect the PC / PG to the system interface with the PC cable (see the figure 
below). 
 
With SIMOCODE pro C use the system interface on the front and with SIMOCODE pro S use the right-hand system
