 3. Create an I/O configuration. Use the SST ProfiBus Configuration Tool or Siemens COM PROFIBUS to create a configuration for the I/O you are scanning. Refer to the software’s online help for complete details on creating a configuration with one of these tools

4. Download the ProfiBus software module. Refer to the Hardware User’s Guide. Use the loader program pfbinst to download the ProfiBus module to the card. For example, if the card is installed at the default port and memory addresses, the command is: vmeinst vmeprofi 

 5. Configure the card as a DP Master Run the sample program cometcnf to configure the card as a DP master using the binary file you exported from the SST ProfiBus Configuration Tool or COM PROFIBUS. If the card is installed at port address 250 and the file is called test.2bf, the command is: cometcnf 250 test 

 6. Put the card online. Run the sample program vmecmd to put the card online. If the card is installed at port address 250, the command is: vmecmd 250 online 

 7. Scan I/O. Run the sample program dpmon to display and edit data. If the card is installed at port address 250, the command is: dpmon 250 From the program menu:- Press A to view the active station list, then press P to see what passive stations (in this case, I/O slaves) are present on the network.- Press M to view configured slaves. Press R to put the card in run mode. Select a slave and press Enter to view and edit its I/O data.-   Press E from the main menu to view diagnostic counters.

DP Slave Prior to performing this procedure, refer to the Hardware User’s Guide for more detailed information on installing the card. Use the following steps to bring a 5136-PFB-VME online as a DP slave.

 3. Download the ProfiBus software module. Use the loader program vmeinst to download the ProfiBus module to the card. For example: vmeinst vmeprofi 

 4. Create a network configuration. Edit the sample file netslv.ncf file to set the network parameters. At minimum, you need to set:- baud rate- station address 

 5. Create a slave configuration. Edit the sample file slave.scf to set the slave parameters. At minimum, you need to set:- number of inputs (bytes)- number of outputs (bytes)

6. Configure the card’s network parameters. Run the sample program pbnetcnf to configure the card’s network parameters. If the card is installed at port address 250 and the file is called netslave.ncf, the command is: pbnetcnf 250 netslave 

 7. Configure the card as a slave Run the sample program dpslvcnf to configure the card as a DP slave. If the card is installed at port address 250 and the file is called slave.scf, the command is: dpslvcnf 250 slave 8. Put the card online Run the sample program pbcmd to put the card online. If the card is installed at port address 250, the command is: vmecmd 250 online 9. Access the data. Run the sample program dpmon to access data. If the card is installed at port address 250, the command is: dpmon 250 From the program menu:- Press S to view the slave data.- Press D to view slave diagnostics- Press E to view diagnostic counters.
