The serial PROFIBUS DP Master is an easy to use software for data exchange with PROFIBUS -and PROFIsafe slaves of many suppliers via PROFIBUS DP. It can be processed in two modes:
In this operation mode I/O data can be exchanged cyclically with PROFIBUS slaves via PROFIBUS DP V0 Input data can be read and output data can be written. Furthermore the serial PROFIBUS DP Master also processes GSD-files. User parameters can be edited and the configuration can be modified and stored. The PROFIBUS station address can be changed as well with the serial PROFIBUS DP Master. This is useful for PROFIBUS I/O modules in protection class IP67 without addressing switches.
The serial PROFIBUS DP Master offers the possibility to scan a PROFIBUS network for connected slaves and display them in a graphical way. In this case the serial PROFIBUS UART has to be connected directly to a PROFIBUS slave. The I/O data and the PROFIBUS user diagnosis can be displayed binary, hexdecimal and now also as ASCII code. The PROFIBUS output data can be transmitted consistently to the PROFIBUS slave. In single bit mode it is possible to set an output as long as the mouse button is pressed.
Beside the monitoring and putting into operation software DLL drivers as well as examples written in C are available for dwonload on the homepage. This offers the possibility to use the PROFIBUS UART in an application in combination with an own software.
In this mode the serial PROFIBUS Master works as a class 2 Master in combination with the class 1 Master in a PROFIBUS network
Complex devices e. g. drives, modular I/O systems even PROFIBUS PA devices can be comissioned online via PROFIBUS DP V1. PROFIBUS PA devices need an additional segment coupler.
