Using the
Profibus Wizard
Follow the on-screen instructions as you make your way through the wizard:
Step Action
1 Read the Introduction screen and click Next.
2 Select either the Create a new Profibus Station radio button or the Move
configuration extension from existing radio button. Click Next.
3 In order to configure a Profibus configuration extension, you have to have the
following directory layout: Drive
→ Plant Directory → Station Directory.
In the Select Plant Path screen, select a drive from the drive drop-down list box.
Next, select a plant directory from the directory list or click New Folder to enter
a new folder name into the list.
When you have selected a drive and a plant directory, click Next.
4 In the Select Station Path screen, select a station directory from the directory list
or click New Folder to enter a new folder name into the list. The selected folder
will hold the .cfg file and the .cfg file will have the same name as this folder.
When you have selected a drive and a plant directory, click Next.
5 If you have selected Create a New Profibus Station in the Options screen, then
pressing Next in the previous step will generate a .cfg file. If you have selected
Move configuration from existing, no .cfg file will be created and you will be taken
to the next step.
6 To configure the .cfg file you must use two external pieces of software:
SyCon (System Configuration) - Use this software to configure the Profibus
Network.
SPU-931 - Use this software to configure the Profibus-DB for the CRP811
Profibus card.
Once you have completed configuring the .cfg file, click Next.
