How can I connect to inverter to download parameter (make backup parameters).

I try with starter and profibus but i can't connect. Is it possible to do this with profibus protocol?

Can I use PC connection kit (6SL3255-0AA00-2AA10) with cheap USB<-->RS232 converter?

I used S7-Lan converter (http://inee.pl/produkty/s7-lan). I can connect to S7-300, upload software, and hardware (Step7). I can go online (in Step7 online mode i see all profibus nodes - in hardware configurator) but then i try option "display accessible nodes" (on Step7 or Starter) I can't see the inverter profibus address.

Did I must set or check someting else in starter or in inverter?

The ProfiBus speed is set to 1,5Mb/s.

Hello,

if yonnect the adapter direct to the G120 then you must set the option "only master on the bus" because the G120 works in DP Slave mode.

 I know I don't try connect only to inverter. I connect to working system with CPU S7-300.

PLC S7-314 with MPI and ProfiBus DP - I connect to connector on PLC (profibus). Terminators sets OK - on the ends of bus.

From Step7 online I can see hardware like this: hw_config_online.jpg but in "accesible nodes" I see devices on addres 0,1,2,3,5,6,7 (not 15,16,17,18).

Now I'm at home, I can't connect and make "display accessible nades" :(.

I check parameter P918 on BOP (profibus addres) on inverters and it was set OK (15-18).

On above screen on table you can see that node 15 is online and work OK (I check adr 16,17,18 - OK). All system works OK so i think bus and adresses are OK.
