Communication Setup The SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP module is a slave on the bus, and does not use any Siemens Milltronics instrument parameters for configuration. Set the rotary switches on the module to the desired slave address: other settings are provided in the GSD file or are automatically detected. GSD Files PROFIBUS master devices require a configuration file for each slave device on the network. This file configures the master for the capabilities and limitations of the slave. For the SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP module these files are:
• AiRanger / SITRANS LU Series hms_1002.gsd • BW500, BW500/L, SF500, hms1003.gsd HydroRanger 200, MultiRanger 100/200, and ERS 500 Both files are supplied on the floppy disk that is shipped with the module. The file hms_1002.gsd uses the manufacturer’s I.D. number of 1002 hexadecimal (4,098 decimal). The file hms1003.gsd uses the manufacturer’s I.D. number 1003 hexadecimal (4,099 decimal). Baud Rate The SmartLinx PROFIBUS module automatically configures itself to the correct baud rate for the PROFIBUS DP network. Follow the PROFIBUS guidelines with regards to bus length and baud rate. Bus Address Set the two rotary switches to the address for this slave.
Use a slave address switch in the range 03 to 99. This example shows the value “06”. Communications Setup 7ML19981AQ03 SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 13
