2.3.2 Configuring the PROFIBUS Slaves
There are two essential steps to configuring a slave:
1
Add the slave in ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) as a device connected
to the PROFIBUS Master, specifying the slave address and any necessary
input and output configuration. Download the PROFIBUS Master
configuration to the MVI56-PDPMV1 module.
2
Configure the slave (using PCB or the configuration tool supplied by the
manufacturer, for some PROFIBUS slaves). Verify that the slave address
configured in the slave module matches the slave address configured in PCB.
Download the PROFIBUS Slave configuration to the slave module.
