SOLVED! How to configure PROFIBUS-DP Slave right?

    Dear Experts, :icon_mrgreen:


    I´m on my first steps to configure a PROFIBUS-DP Slave interface to our single robot.


    Now I´m at the "DP MASTER SLAVE PARAMETER" Setup where I have to configure the right parameters. I have 64 Input and 64 Output Bytes and I don´t know how I configure the parameters right to get a working connection.


    Can anybody explain what are the important parameters I´ve to adjust? How many Config Data Bytes I´ve to configure by using 64 Input and 64 Output Bytes...? :help:


    The Fanuc documentation is unfortunately not quite understandable.


    Enclosed see my pictures from my configuration.


    Thanks in advance. :merci:

    Why do you need to change something in these parameters?
    You must have a file - R-30iB_GSD_Slave_ [rj3c0a2d] .gsd (or another if you do not have a controller with 30iB)
    Upload this file to the Master device and select the number of words that are set in the robot controller.

    Thanks for your reply and the information about the .gsd-File. :merci:


    I got this file from FANUC but get the information at the PROFIBUS-DP manual to adjust these parameters. So it is right that all parameters automatically set at the first connection from the main device to the slave robot?


    I´ve only set the parameters at the DP Slave setup with the Output and Input Bytes included the station address and further I´ve to configure the DO´s and the DI´s on the Rack 67 Slot 1 for both signals. Is this right?


    Have I adjust any more parameters that it work correctly or is this everything I´ve to do? If this everything it´s not so complicated to change the connection to the Profibus. :top:


    These are my first steps to work with the Profibus and that´s why my question to you. :icon_mrgreen:


    Thank you.

    Where did you configure the length of the words and the speed for exchange?


    Have I do any adjustment that I use the .gsd-File at the main device?

    No, the Master is the PLC (S7) and the robot is the slave.


    I only want to configure the robot slave to get to the Master a working connection. That´s all what I want. :top:

    Hello,
    Go to MENU->Setup-PROFIBUS. Hit F3 and select SLAVE. There you set input/output bytes and the address of the station. Do a power cycle after that.
    Then configure your inputs/outputs to match the number of bytes. Rack is 67.
    Normally you don't need to setup anything else.

    Hi Robotworker, could you communicate the PLC(Master) with the Fanuc robot(Slave)?

    I am trying to make the same communication, could you help me with this? Please!
