Create master system
You can create a DP master system with the configuration editor "HW Config" as follows:
●
Assign a master address between 1 and 125 (e.g. 11).
●
Select the desired data transmission rate (e.g. 1.5 Mbit/s).
●
Select the PROFIBUS DP profile.
Note
Other settings may be required in the master system depending on the PROFIBUS DP
configuration. These are not described further here.
Inserting and addressing a slave
●
The "SENTRON WL/VL" is selected in the "Hardware Catalog" and dragged and dropped
to the master system.
●
To operate the slave on PROFIBUS DP, assign and set an address that is unique on this
PROFIBUS DP line.
●
Select a basic type between 1 and 3 and confirm with "OK".
●
If changes are to be made to the properties, this must be done by calling "Properties DP
slave" after selecting the slave.
The figure below shows the popup window that appears after the SENTRON VL/WL has
been dragged and dropped from the device library. The basic breaker type with which the
SENTRON VL/WL is configured by the PLC is selected in this window.
