Operating as a Profile Device
Every manufactured PROFIBUS product has a unique PROFIBUS identification number
which identifies it to the system. PROFIBUS Profile Standard version 3.01 also defines a
Profile Model which can identify a product as a generic profile device on the network.
SITRANS LR250 can be identified in one of three ways:
Defining the device as Profile-specific as opposed to Manufacturer-specific makes it
possible to exchange the device for any other device of the same profile type without
changing the GSD file.
To set up SITRANS LR250 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (4.4.) on
page 90.
