cp 5431 profibus comms with ifm asi

[nico_sa]

Hi all

I want to connect a S5 115U plc, using a Cp5431, to a Ifm Controller E using profibus DP. I'm using Com Profibus V5.0. Where can I find the gsd file for the CP when I want to use it as a Profibus DP master? If I finished setting up the network how do I get the parameters loaded into the CP?

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Nico

You will need the GSD file first. Try Profibus.com they have most of them. Install the GSD file in the Com Profibus\GSD directory and "Read in GSD files"' If you look under Documentation\GSD tyes, you should see it there. Create a profibus network using Com Profibus and then run Com5431 to transfer the program created in Com Profibus into and to control the CP5431.
