CI854 Profibus network troubleshootingtroubleshoot
Hi,
Profibus slave connection error display for following equipement in Control Builder under CI854:
Equipement Type: On-Off Valve/Actuator
Make :+GF+
Model no: EA-25/EA-250
How I can resolve/ Troubleshoot this error?
I don't know what is the problem,whether slave address is wrong or any thing that I need to configure during GSD file installation.
Slave address modification switch also not provided for equipement , Slave address is default factory set.
Error showig inside control builder: Slave does not exist.
Please guide me what procedure I follow to resolve problem.

If Slave Address is at default then it is 126.
Use CI854 webserver to change the address from 126 to other address that you have configured in control builder.
use http://controller IP address/
user: service pw: ac800m if you are on 800xA 5.x version.

I cannot believe this is correct. This would make it impossible to connect more than one valve to the same bus and would make the device completely useless to most customers. It is more likely that the address **can** be set but is set to an invalid value.
According to this positioner manual, it wont support profibus.terminal connections shows 4-20ma/0-10v.
If the Installation of GSD is correct, Please check installation of profibus dp. It would be better if you have profibus analyzer as recommended tools for troubleshooting profibus network.
