Siemens SIMOTION D410-2 DP User Manual

6.3.7 Creating a new PROFIBUS DP subnet
SIMOTION
SCOUT is used to network the SIMOTION D410‑2. Set up your user-specific bus
parameters for the PROFIBUS DP interfaces when you configure the network.
Note
If a hardware configuration is loaded without a PROFIBUS network being configured on the
CPU, a new PROFIBUS address that was previously set in HW Config or NetPro will not be
accepted by the CPU.
Requirement
You have created a project and have inserted a SIMOTION D410‑2.
Note
The actions outlined below only need to be taken if you have not selected an interface when
integrating the SIMOTION D410-2 into the project (see Section
Creating a project and
configuring the communication (Page 104)).
Next the connection to the PG/PC must be established via NetPro, refer to:
● Section Configuring the PROFIBUS PG/PC interface (Page 106)
● Section Configuring the Ethernet PG/PC interface (Page 108).
Procedure
To create a new PROFIBUS subnet, proceed as follows:
1.
Double-click the "D410-2" entry in the project navigator in order to open HW Config.
2. In the SIMOTION D410‑2 representation, double-click the DP interface for which you want
to create a PROFIBUS subnet.
The "Properties - DP/MPI" dialog box opens.
3. Click "Properties" in the "General" tab to open the "PROFIBUS Interface DP/MPI" dialog
box.
4. Click "New" to open the "Properties - New PROFIBUS Subnet" dialog box.
5. Name the new subnet and enter the properties of the new subnet, e.g. transmission rate,
on the "Network settings" tab.
6. If the PROFIBUS interface is to be operated isochronously, click "Options". Activate the
"Activate isochronous bus cycle" option in the opened dialog box and set the DP cycle.
Confirm the settings with "OK" to exit the "Options" dialog box.
7. Accept the settings in the "Properties - New PROFIBUS Subnet" dialog box with "OK".
The new subnet is now displayed in the "Properties - PROFIBUS Interface DP/MPI" dialog
box. You can now connect the new subnet to the corresponding PROFIBUS interface.
Follow the same steps to configure the second PROFIBUS interface for a SIMOTION
D410‑2 DP.
8. Save and compile the changes.
