This includes getting your hands of the slave's gsd file and integrating it in the Profibus configuration software of the master (HWConfig for a S7 PLC). But each DP-slave has its own requirements in the amount and type of data it will exchange with the DP-master, and that can only be found out in the slave's manuals, which you as a programmer need to study and understand. So: what was the question, exactly? Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

I suggest you also have a look at the Motoman site for more details of your controller and profibus communication. Motoman Netherlands did help me a lot with RS485 (not profibus) communication,try your local rep they might even have a Step7 example. Regards, Marcjan

However, a glance in the Yaskawa Motorman site shows that the available Profibus interface for the DX100 controller is as a remote I/O extension, the drive being a Profibus-DP master. What interface do you have on your DX100, and is it used as master or slave? Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
