By itself the module does not support PROFIBUS PA. However, when used with a PROFIBUS DP/PA coupler, it is possible to communicate with the ProLinx module via PROFIBUS PA. Related Keywords: PROFIBUS PA DP PDPS PDPM Read More

Make sure to drop the "3170-PDP 1.2 status" information into the first slot, then each of your I/O modules after that. Any unused slots must have a "flex I/O empty slot" defined in the configuration for that slot setup. Read More

PROFIBUS DP GSD file names should be limited to eight characters.File names longer than eight characters will cause this error. Delete the excess characters in the file name so that the file name contains no more than eight characters before the .gsd... Read More

The PDPMV1 operating state is stored in the MVIxxPDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus.FB_op_state tag:  00 = Offline  40 = Stop  80 = Clear  C0 = Operate To determine slave status, the MVIxxPDPMV1.Status.Fieldbus... Read More

The attached file shows how to set up a S7-315 CPU to be a PROFIBUS DP Slave to a ProSoft MVI56-PDPMV1 PROFIBUS Master and was written for that specific application. However, many of the setup steps apply to other S7 configurations and other... Read More

Many things can result in these symptoms.  One of the most common causes is that not all slave manufacturers use a standard byte order.  It is very possible that when you think you're sending a value of "1" to a slave&... Read More

Please do not use the "Online - Download Configuration" menu option from inside the PCB "PROFIBUS - PDPMV1" configuration window.  If you do this, it will lock up PCB, requiring you to shut it down and restart it to clear the error. Instead,... Read More

Sorry; but this is not possible.  However, a ProSoft PROFIBUS DP v1 Master can be configured to pass data to and from another PROFIBUS DP Master by using a third-party DP-to-DP coupler. Read More

Not all PROFIBUS DP v1 Master devices support Master to Master or "peer-to peer" messaging, as some do.  ProSoft PROFIBUS DP v1 Master solutions (those with -PDPMV1 in their part numbers) do not have peer-to-peer support built-in. ... Read More

Due to GSD file errors or device configuration errrors the module may not be able to go into RUN mode.  However depending on the type of error (invalid GSD file or exceeding parameter data configuration) the ProSoft... Read More

The question has several possible answers.  Most of them are obvious to anyone familiar with PROFIBUS networks, so we won't mention them all here. However, there is one remote possibility that has been known to cause problems in the past... Read More

The PS69-DPM does not communicate natively at 45.45 baud. To communicate through this DP/PA coupler you will need the Siemens “Simatic DP Link”. Read More
