Application notes

Install or copy the appropriate GSD file(s) on the PROFIBUS master. The choice of GSD file depends on the mode to be used.

For more information on the operation modes see chapter Configuration via web interface.

Register the GSD files using the master configuration program in order to assign them to the DP slaves of ibaBM-DP.

Connect the ibaBM-DP device physically with the DP line.

Caution!
	Connecting the PROFIBUS cable A conflict between several slaves with the same number can lead to a complete failure of communication on the PROFIBUS and even to a system shutdown. To ensure that there are no duplicate slave numbers, do not connect the PROFIBUS cable until the configuration of the active slaves has been correctly carried out in ibaPDA.

Activate application-specific transfer programs in the master (PLC).

Connect the fiber optical links of ibaBM-DP with another iba sytem, e. g. ibaPDA, ibaLogic etc.
