Add a PROFIBUS DP Slave Module
With the PROFIBUS protocol the data is exchanged according to the master-slave principle. Only the master can initialize communication. The slaves respond to requests from masters. Several masters can coexist on the same bus. In this case, the slave I/O can be read by all the masters. However, a single master has write access to the outputs. The number of data items exchanged is defined during the configuration.
For the PROFIBUS master, the GSD file of the TM4PDPS1 module is located on Drive:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\EcoStruxure Machine Expert Software\V1.1\LogicBuilder\GSD\SE100E83.GSD.
The GSD file is also available on www.schneider-electric.com.
There are 2 types of exchange services supported by this module:
oacyclic data exchanges with Profibus DPV1 function
Add a PROFIBUS DP Slave Module
Select the TM4PDPS1 module in the Hardware Catalog, drag it to the Devices tree, and drop it on the COM_Bus node.
For more information on adding a device to your project, refer to:
• Using the Drag-and-drop Method
• Using the Contextual Menu or Plus Button
NOTE: Adding PROFIBUS increases the associated task cycle time by several milliseconds and the starting time by several seconds.
