SIMATIC 505 PROFIBUS-FMS CP User Manual
Defining the Module Local Configuration (continued)
Highest Station Address Use
the drop-down list to select the value that
is equal to or greater than the highest PROFIBUS network station
address in use on your network. This number is used by the COM5434
Configurator to calculate the token rotation time for your network. Y
ou
may need to adjust this number when you add or subtract stations from
your network. V
alid HSA values are 15, 31, 63, and 126.
NOTE:
If the number configured is higher than the real highest station
address, you may experience a small loss of speed on your network, but the
network will function properly
. If the number configured is lower than the
real highest station address on your network, then any stations above the
highest station address will not be added to the token ring. If you try to add
this station to a network ring with a higher station address than the one
you specified as the HSA, an error will occur and your station will not be
allowed to enter the ring.
Bus Parameter Profile Bus
parameters must match in all the stations on
the network. For most networks, selecting one of the parameter profiles
provided by the COM5434 Configurator will help simplify the process
of configuring the network. The default profile is Standard, but you can
choose Standard-Mixed, FMS-DP Universal, or Custom. Each profile
provides values for the remaining fields on the input pane except for
Baud Rate, # of Masters, and # of Slaves, which you must supply
. If you
want to customize values for any of the other fields, select Custom from
the drop-down list. In general, you can use the following profiles:
•
Standard for 505-to-505 communications
•
Standard-Mixed for 505-to-S7 communications*
•
FMS-DP Universal for 505-to-S5 communications, and if the
network includes DP devices
Baud Rate Use
the drop-down list to select the appropriate baud rate
that the module will use for network communications.
# of Masters (holds token) Enter
the number of masters on the
network. Masters are the devices on the network that take turns
holding the token.
# of Slaves (no token) Enter
the number of slaves on the network.
Slaves are devices that do not hold the token.
*Standard-Mixed
matches the current release of STEP 7; earlier releases of STEP 7 may have
different bus parameters, requiring you to select Custom to match parameters.
