5.3 Creating an I/O Configuration in COM
PROFIBUS.
Use Siemens COM PROFIBUS software to configure a master/slave system
on the SST-PFB-SLC.
The COM PROFIBUS software does the following:
• COM PROFIBUS calculates all the details for each slave, for
example, the configuration check data, the watchdog factors, etc.
• COM PROFIBUS calculates the details for the entire collection of
slaves, for example, the target token rotation time
• COM PROFIBUS assigns appropriate values for all the network
parameters and includes them in the binary file
To use the SST-PFB-SLC with COM PROFIBUS, install the update files for
the SST-PFB-SLC in the appropriate COM PROFIBUS directories.
To install the files, run the batch file updcomet.bat on the distribution disk
and tell it the directory where you are installing the files. For COM
PROFIBUS, the directory name depends on the version you are running, and
is compbxx where xx corresponds to the version number. For example, if the
version is 3.0, the directory is called compb30. Type the following:
updcomet compb30
For the older COM ET 200 software, the main directory name is comwinxx
where xx corresponds to the version number. For example, if the version is
2.1, the directory is called comwin21.
