Introduction

With SyCon software, you can configure the PROFIBUS DP network and generate an ASCII file to import into the PLC configuration into Unity Pro (or PL7 or Concept).

Network conditions

The network conditions for the example are

  • Protocol: PROFIBUS DP

  • Address: 4

  • Baud rate: 3 Mb/s

Configuration of a TeSys T System

Example of a network configuration:

  • Select

4

Select the network speed:

  • Click Settings > Bus Parameter > Baud rate

  • Select the baud rate adapted to the transmission speed of your application (for example, 3000 kBaud).

The PROFIBUS DP secondaries (slaves) adapt automatically their baud rate to the primary (master) baud rate.

5

In the Insert Master window, select a primary (master) (for example, TSX PBY 100 ) from the Available masters list.

Press the Add>> button and confirm with OK .

6

Insert a secondary (slave):
