DP master You can use the following as DP masters:


• An S7-CPU with integrated DP master interface (e.g. CPU 414-2, etc.)
• An interface module which is assigned to an M7-CPU/M7-FM
• A CP in conjunction with a CPU (e.g. CP 443-5, etc.)
• An IM module with an AS400

Configuration with 'simple' (modular or compact) DP slaves


In this configuration, data are communicated between the DP master and
simple DP slaves, i.e. I/O modules, via the DP master.
The DP master polls each configured DP slave in its polling list within the DP
master system in sequence and transmits the output data or receives input data.
The I/O addresses utilized in the user program are automatically assigned by the
engineering system, but can also be modified.
A DP interface on a CPU or communications processor can function as the DP
master. On the AS400, an IM module can also be used as a DP master.
If only one DP master and its slaves are connected to a physical PROFIBUS DP
subnet, the subnet is referred to as a mono-master system.

ET 200M The modular I/O device ET 200M (DPV1 slave with up to 12Mbit/s) consists of:
• one IM 153 interface module,
• up to 8 S7-300 I/O modules and
• a power supply, if required.
There are no slot rules for the I/O modules. They can be combined in any way.
The ET 200M is connected to the PROFIBUS via an IM 153 interface module. It
can be connected to PROFIBUS with fiber-optic cables through integrated
interfaces on the IM 153-2 FO or through additional OLMs (optical link modules)
or optical bus terminals (OBTs).

ET 200S The IM151 is the interface module for connecting the ET200S to PROFIBUS DP.
The DP slave is connected to the main line through bus connectors or bus
terminals.

DP address The PROFIBUS address is used to specify which address is used to address the
distributed ET 200S I/O system on the PROFIBUS DP.
The PROFIBUS DP address for the ET 200S is set on the interface module by
means of DIL switches. The DIL switches can be found on the front of the
interface module, protected by a sliding window. Permitted PROFIBUS DP
addresses are 1 to 125. Each address can only be assigned once on the
PROFIBUS DP.

Setting 1. Slide the window on the interface module upward.


2. Set the desired PROFIBUS DP address using the DIL switches.
3. Please note that the lowest switch must not be added to the dual
summation.

Task description I want to connect a DP slave to the DP master system, but the slave in question
is not included in the module catalog for the hardware configuration because it is
supplied by another manufacturer or is a brand new development. I don't have the
GSD file for this DP slave. Where can I get this GSD file?

Download The answer can be found in the FAQs provided by Customer Support on the
INTERNET under
Article ID : 186875.
The Siemens GSD files can be ordered directly from Siemens from the following
Internet addresses (as of July 2004):
German: GSD files http://www.ad.siemesnd.de/csi/gsd
English: gsd files http://www.ad.siemesnd.de/csi_e/gsd
Alternatively, the GSDs can also be downloaded from
http://www.ad.siemesnd.de/simatic-cs under Product Support ("PROFIBUS
GSD files").

Type files To enable you to select the slave from the hardware catalog in the tool hardware
configuration, STEP 7 requires a GSD or a type file for every DP slave.
All the properties of a DP slave are stored in its GSD file. GSD files comply with
the PROFIBUS standard. Type files comply with the Siemens specification.
Every type of DP slave supplied by SIEMENS AG has a type file.
DP slaves supplied by other manufacturers are shipped with a GSD or a type file.

Integrating To integrate a new DP slave in the hardware catalog, take the actions described
DP slaves below:
1. Select the menu command Options Æ Install new GSD file.
2. In the dialog box which is then displayed, open the
drive/directory in which the relevant GSD file is stored.
The slave is listed in the "Hardware catalog" window (only in the
"Standard" catalog profile!) under "PROFIBUS-Additional Field Devices"
and is available there for configuration.

Functions The STEP 7 programming software permits menu-prompted parameter


assignment for the distributed I/O devices as well as for the field devices on
PROFIBUS DP. The main actions involved in this process include:

• Configuring the fieldbus system


• Generating the address list for the master module
• Setting the transmission rate on the fieldbus
• Setting the failure characteristics
The STEP 7 programming software supports uniform programming and
configuring of central and distributed I/Os.
The target configuration of the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus is stored on the
PROFIBUS DP master module.

Diagnostics The diagnostic function can be used to localize and remove errors easily
during commissioning and operation. For this purpose, the PG is connected to the
PROFIBUS DP or directly to the appropriate I/O and field device.

DP slave types There are basically three different types of slave:


• Modules with integrated digital/analog inputs and outputs
(compact DP slaves such as the ET200B).
• Interface modules with assigned S5 or S7 modules
(modular DP slaves such as the ET200M).
• S7-200/300 stations with modules which can be configured as a DP slave
(I slave, e.g. CPU 215-DP, CPU 315-2).

DP slave selection To configure a DP slave, proceed as follows:


1.Select the desired compact DP slave (e.g. ET200B) or the interface module
(e.g. IM153 for ET200M) for a modular slave from the "Hardware catalog".
2.Drag the symbol onto the symbol for the master system.
The dialog box "Properties - PROFIBUS nodes" is opened.
The following settings can be made here:
- Properties of the PROFIBUS subnet (baud rate, etc).
- The PROFIBUS address of the DP slave.
3.Acknowledge the settings with "OK". A configuration table is attached to the
symbol which represents the I/O configuration of the compact slave or subrack of
the modular slave.
4.For a modular DP slave, now insert the desired modules from the
"Hardware catalog" into the configuration table.
The modules are then addressed and parameterized in the same way as the
central configuration.

Note This method is not used to configure I slaves. The configuring process for
intelligent slaves is described in a later chapter.

Distributed The term "distributed I/O devices" applies to all master systems comprising a DP
I/O devices master and DP slaves which are interconnected via a bus cable and use the DP
protocol to communicate.

DP master You can use the following as DP masters:


• An S7-CPU with integrated DP master interface (e.g. CPU 414-2, etc.)
• A CP in conjunction with a CPU (e.g. CP 443-5, etc.)

Procedure To configure a master system, proceed as described below:


1.Select the PROFIBUS interface X2 on your CPU and insert a master system
(menu command Insert Æ Master system)
2.The "Properties - PROFIBUS nodes" dialog box is opened. The following
properties can be defined in this dialog box:
• Create a new PROFIBUS subnet or open an existing one
• Set the properties of the PROFIBUS subnet (baud rate, etc).
• Specify the PROFIBUS address of the DP master.
3.Acknowledge the settings with "OK". The following symbol is displayed for the
DP master system. This symbol is used as a "hanger" for the
DP slaves.

General The "General" tab provides information about the type and location of the DP
interface.
The short description, the information below it and the order number are identical
to the data in the "Hardware catalog" window. The "Name" field contains the short
description of the module which you can change as required. When you rename
the entry, the new name appears in the configuration table.

Interface The type and address of a subnet interface can be found under "Interface".
"Networked" (yes/no) indicates whether a module is connected to a configured
subnet. By selecting the "Properties" button, you can change the address or the
subnet properties or create / select another subnet.
For interfaces which can be parameterized as either an MPI or PROFIBUS DP
interface: Click on the field to toggle the operating mode of the interface.

Addresses tab The diagnostic address for the PROFIBUS DP interface is displayed. The
operating system of the CPU uses this address, for example, to signal failure of
the DP interface.

Operating mode tab This dialog box is used to specify whether the CPU is to be operated as a
DP slave (=intelligent DP slave) or as a DP master (default).
In contrast to the integrated interface, CPs allow either the DP protocol or the
FDL protocol to be selected, which means that DP functionality can be completely
deactivated in this tab with the No DP setting.
For DP masters, this means that no DP master system is set up or, if one exists
already, it is decoupled from this interface. Operating modes which the interface
does not support cannot be selected.

Configuration This tab is relevant only for DP slave mode and displays the key data for the
following configurations.

tab • Data communication between the intelligent DP slave (I slave) and the
assigned DP master: In this case, the "Mode" column contains "MS"
(master slave).
• Direct data communication between this I slave and another
DP slave (slave-to-slave communication). In this case, the "Mode"
column contains "DX“ Direct Data Exchange).
A common requirement of these configurations is that addresses need to be
assigned. One address assignment between the local station (I slave) and
the address area of the DP partner requires one line.
The lines are always sorted in ascending order. If you mark one line and then
click the "down arrow" or "up arrow" button in the right margin of the tab sheet,
you can change the position of the line and thus the order.

The following information is displayed in the lower area of the dialog box for the
selected line:
• In the case of a master/slave configuration: The DP master and the name
of the station which contains the DP master
• In the case of direct data exchange (slave-to-slave communication): Sender
and station name

- Properties of the PROFIBUS subnet (baud rate, etc).
- The PROFIBUS address of the DP slave.
3.Acknowledge the settings with "OK". A configuration table is attached
to the symbol which represents the I/O configuration of the compact
slave or subrack of the modular slave.
4.For a modular DP slave, now insert the desired modules from the
"Hardware catalog" into the configuration table.
The modules are then addressed and configured in the same way as
the central configuration.

Note This method is not used to configure I slaves. The configuring process for

principle of the program using the description below as a guide.

FC15 System ON/OFF, operating modes (OM) MANUAL and AUTO


The system is switched on via the simulator button I 0.0, it is switched off via
button I 0.1 (NC contact). The operating mode System ON is indicated via the
simulator LED Q 4.1.
The operating mode MANUAL is switched on if it is selected via the simulator
switch "AUTO/MANUAL" (I 0.4 ='0') and the simulator button "Apply" (I 0.5). The
simulator LED Q 4.2 indicates that MANUAL mode is switched on.
The operating mode AUTO is switched on if it is selected via the simulator switch
"AUTO/MANUAL" (I 0.4 ='1') and the simulator button "Apply" (I 0.5). The
simulator LED Q 4.3 indicates that AUTO mode is switched on.

FC16 Belt motor control


In MANUAL mode (Q 4.2 = '1'), the belt motor can be jogged to the RIGHT (Q
8.5) using the simulator button "T_Jog_RIGHT" (I 0.2) and to the LEFT (Q 8.6)
using "T_Jog_LEFT" (I 0.3).
In AUTO mode, parts from Station 1 or 2 are transported to the final check
station. The belt motor starts as soon as one of the two initiators places a part on
the belt and the relevant station button is actuated. The belt stops as soon as the
part has passed the light barrier for the final check station or when AUTO mode is
interrupted.

FC17 Error and operational messages


The indicator lamps on stations 1 and 2
- light up continuously at both stations when a new part can be put on the belt.

- flash at a frequency of 1 Hz only at the station in front of whose initiator the new
part is located.
- flash at a frequency of 2 Hz at both stations while a part is being transported.

Startup behavior

mode

SITRAIN
IK-PBSYS / Integrated Interface Page 16 03/2007
© Siemens AG 2007 - Subject to change without prior notice

Startup behavior As soon as the DP configuration has been downloaded to the DP master,
this begins to boot the DP master system. This boot process comprises two
stages for every configured DP slave (LED BF/BUSF flashes):
1.The physical presence of the DP slave is tested on the basis of its configured
bus address. To pass this test, the slave need only be connected to the bus
cable with the configured address and must be switched on.
2.Comparison of configured target configuration with the real actual configuration.
If the slave meets the criteria to pass both these tests, it is entered as "OK" in the
polling list.
This means that the master can immediately begin a cyclical data exchange with
this slave.
This status is signaled on the slave by illumination of the green LED. If the slave
fails either of the boot tests, the red LED on the slave remains illuminated and the
master does not exchange data with it.
If all configured slaves are "OK", the master deactivates the flashing LED
BF/BUSF.

CPU behavior The checkbox "Boot for different target/actual configurations" allows the
behavior of the CPU to be configured for instances where the DP master is
unable to synchronize all configured slaves within a predefined time period
(default setting: 20 seconds).
When the box is checked, the CPU switches to the RUN state when the timer
runs down; when the box is unchecked, it switches to the STOP state.

Error displays: Various fault states on the CPU are signaled by different LEDs

BUSF/BF The LED BUSF is installed for modules with a DP interface


(e.g. CPU 315-2)
BUSF1, BUSF2 If the CPU features more than one DP interface, each interface
has its own LED.
SF Group fault LED:
Basically displays every fault detected by the CPU, including faults on the DP
BUS. In this case, one of the BUSF LEDs mentioned above lights up at the same
time. Unless specially programmed (error OB), the CPU responds to a bus fault in
the same way as to any other group fault by switching to the STOP state.
BF/BUSF LED flashes LED flashes during booting until all configured slaves are synchronized
or if a slave which is already synchronized fails or signals a fault:

Possible faults • Scenario 1: Failure of a connected station


• Scenario 2: At least one of the configured slaves cannot be accessed
• Scenario 3: Configuring error (TARGET and ACTUAL configurations are not
identical)

Response of the CPU Call of OB 86 (when CPU is in RUN mode). CPU switches to STOP if OB 86 is
not loaded.

Remedy • Check whether the bus cable is connected to all nodes


or whether the bus is interrupted (terminating resistor!).
• Check whether the slave is switched on.
• Wait until the CPU has completed booting. If the LED does not stop flashing,
check the DP slaves, the configuration or evaluate the diagnostic data of the
failed DP slave.

Addresses The addresses of distributed I/Os are accessed in the S7 program in exactly the
same way as if they were the addresses of central I/Os.
If the addresses are outside the areas for PII, or the areas for PIO in the case of
outputs, the program uses the direct I/O access method, e.g. L PEW 304 .

Consistent data transfer (1)

I/O address

SITRAIN
IK-PBSYS / Integrated Interface Page 19 03/2007

Data consistency The term "consistent data" is used to describe connected areas of multiple input
or output bytes which are related in terms of time, i.e. which carry the same time
stamp.
These always cause problems for an S7 CPU if the area is exactly 3 bytes in
length or longer than 4 bytes. In such cases, the CPU is unable to transfer the
data area in one step.
In the context of PROFIBUS DP, data consistency does not refer to data
transmissions between the master and slaves (these are always consistent), but
to the transfer of data between the CPU and the DP master.

Access to bits, bytes, words and double words


If the data exchanged between the DP master and a DP slave need only be
consistent within 1 byte, 2 bytes or 4 bytes, then the data can be accessed
"normally" as for central I/O devices, i.e. directly via address areas.

Examples L IW24
L PIW 304
T QD400

U I 30.4
= Q 45.2
The addresses used here can be the addresses of either central and distributed
I/Os. The S7 program cannot identify the difference.

SITRAIN
IK-PBSYS / Integrated Interface Page 20 03/2007
© Siemens AG 2007 - Subject to change without prior notice

Basic principle Data areas of > 4 bytes in length are transmitted consistently by means of the
following two system functions
- SFC14 "DPRD_DAT" for data transfers from the master to the CPU,
- SFC15 "DPWR_DAT" for data transfers from the CPU to the master
.
These two functions ensure that the DP master does not start exchanging data
with individual DP slaves via PROFIBUS until the data blocks have been
transmitted completely to or from the master.

Parameter Declaration Data type Memory area

LADDR INPUT WORD I, Q, M, D, L, constant.

SFC14: Configured start address from the input area of the module
from which data are to be read.

SFC15: Configured start address from the output area of the module
to which data are to be written.

Note:The address must be in hexadecimal format, e.g. the start address


256 means: LADDR:=W#16#100.

RET_VAL OUTPUT INT I, Q, M, D, L


If an error occurs while the function is being executed, the return value contains
an error code.

Note RECORD OUTPUT ANY I, Q, M, D, L:


Destination area or source area of user data on the CPU. This must be exactly
the same length as the length configured for the module with STEP 7. Only the
data type BYTE is permissible.

S7 program Whether data can be transferred consistently and in which lengths is not solely
dependent on the use of system functions SFC 14 and SFC 15.

DP master Must often also be specified when the slave is configured in the master system.
Whether and which data areas can be configured as consistent generally
depends on the specific slave type, i.e. this information is stored in its GSD file.
Select the "Addresses" tab of the DP slave in the hardware configuration.
Depending on the type of DP slave, the consistent area contains default values
and cannot be changed or you can define the consistent area with the fields
"Length", "Unit" and "Consistent over" (e.g. for I slaves).

Task description Configure the ET200M as a DP slave with address 8 on the existing DP master
system of the internal CPU interface.

Procedure 1.Remove the analog module from the central rack and insert it in the
ET200M again next to the IM153-1 interface module.
2.Set bus address 8 with the DIL switches on the IM153-1.
Remember: Changes to addresses do not take effect until the power
supply for the DP slave is switched off and on again!
3.Use the PROFIBUS cable (terminating resistors!) to connect the DP master of
the CPU to the IM153-1 module of the ET200M.
4.Open the hardware configuration for your station
5.If necessary, display the hardware catalog. Navigate to folder ET200M in folder
PROFIBUS DP, drag the IM153-1 module designed for your training case and
drop it on the bus cable.
6.Select 8 as the DP address in the next screen and accept your settings with OK
.

Procedure 7. Remove the analog module from slot 7 in the central rack and insert it directly
in slot 4 on the ET200M (1). All settings for the module will be transferred
automatically at the same time (e.g. including the addresses 304 ... 307).
As an alternative, you can drag the module out of the hardware catalog under
the ET200M into slot 4 (2). With this method, however, you must enter the
module settings again.
8.Use Save and compile to create new system data blocks and download the
modified configuration to your CPU.

Result The DP system is booted. If your configuration matches the physical hardware
configuration, the flashing LED BUSF/BF indicator LEDs on the DP master and
the BF LED on the IM153-1 stop flashing and go out.
If necessary, check the terminating resistors on the bus cable again as well as the
slave address set on the ET200M.
The master system is now fully configured. In the next exercise, you now need to
link access to the analog module signals into the S7 program.

Task description The analog value must be read into the S7 program via OB35 and processed
within a specific time frame. After read-in, the analog value represents a weight
with a value that is converted (scaled) to a weight range of between 0 and 500
grams and displayed on the simulator.

Procedure 1.Write the program as described above.

2.Then download the two blocks OB35 and FC105 to your CPU.

3.Alter the voltage at the analog input by turning the left-hand potentiometer on
the simulator. As you do this, observe the display on the simulator.

4.Monitor the process values ONLINE with the variables table.

General Cyclical data communication between the CPU and MM4420 via PROFIBUS
must be set up in the hardware configuration. To do this, proceed as follows:

Procedure 1.Open the HW Config tool.


2.Open the HW catalog and select profile "DriveES".
3.Select the Micromaster 420 from directory SIMOVERT Æ MICROMASTER4
and drag and drop it onto the PROFIBUS DP master system.
4.Enter PROFIBUS address 6 in screen "Properties – PROFIBUS interface
MICROMASTER_4_PROFIBUS", select the subnet and accept the setting
with "OK".
5.Select the device version, i.e. "1.0x" or "1.1x", specified for your training
equipment in screen "Properties – SINAMICS". You will find this version on
the rating plate of the MM420 (e.g. "Issue: A06/1.17")
6.In the "Configuration" tab of the "DP slave properties" screen, select PPO
type 3 and assign I/O address 42 for exchanging data with the CPU (see
screenshot).
7.Save, compile and download the configuration to the CPU.

Result When the MM420 has been successfully parameterized and integrated in the
hardware configuration of the S7 station, the LED on the MM420 PROFIBUS
interface lights up green (flashing or continuous).
