Answer question
ABB AC450 Profibus Master Connection with SIEMENS S7-1200 with DP SLAVE MODULE CM 1242-5
Good afternoon,
This is my first time configuring a PROFIBUS communication with the ABB AC450. So please forgive me if I do not explain myself correctly.
This is my current configuration. On a SIEMENS S7-1200 I am receiving information via MODBUS TCP\IP from an industrial PC. This is working correctly. Now I have to transfer this data to my ABB DCS 800XA. So we have added the PROFIBUS DP module CM 1245-5 to the SIEMENS. Attached image with hardware layout.
To communicate with the CM1245-5 DP SLAVE we have added and configured the CI541V1 card in the AC450. This is operational and RUN. My big issue is configuring the PBSD1 PC ELEMENT to read the data through PROFIBUS. I am not sure if I am interpreting the GSD file for SIEMENS correctly. Totally lost with the S2,S3 and S4 segments for the PBSD1. What is "UPRMDLEN" and the UPRMD1...12 elements? What is the "CFGDLEN" and the CFGD1...CFGD8 elements?
There are NO physical I\O modules on the SIEMENS. Attached are transfer areas and configuration of the DP SLAVE.
Can you please help me?
