PM902F, addition of new hardware
Hello!
I have a customer who wants to add a new Profibusmaster (CI930F) on their PM902F controller.
Is it possible to do that without restarting the system?
I mean "Load changed objects" instead of "Load whole station". I want to avoid "Load whole station".
An alternative is to supplement the existing profibus network (on this CPU) with a new node.
Best regards!

For the implementation of a new Profibus card no loading whole station is necessary.
This is done by loading modified objects.
But you should load the new Profibus card with your firmware beforehand.
I always use a separate controller for this.
So i avoid to initialising the running CPU

Hi,
I guess there s some reason for creating a new Profibus-line at site. I don't know the reason but for me, the reason is sometimes that you don't want to disturb the up and running existing Profibis line.
Then I have used a Profibus Hub. You connect the master to this and then you have 6 profibus-lines/segment out from this. All new nodes is created under the same Master in freelance. Then I don't know if you have to do a load whole station or just changes.

Yes it is possible to add a new PROFIBUS Master (CI930F) in to line with out doing Load Whole Station....But as mention above Answer You have to update the firmware address of PROFIBUS MASTER For that
1. check Your network connection between PC & Process station ( controller IP Address)
2.if it is pinging .....
3.GO to setting tool - choose the option Profibus Module Firmware Update
4. Update ur IP address of the Controller & download
Thank You
