Hello Lo_quik you will be able tocreate (almost) the same DP Slave I/O config for a CP342-5 as you usually do for the onboard DP port of your CPU. "Almost", because your onboard DP port I/O config uses 244 Bytes of Inputs (i.e. the maxpermissble number of Bytes for a DP Slave). A CP342-5 as a DP Slave is however "limited" to 240 Bytesmax of Inputs (and/or Outputs), so you will have to live with 4 Bytes less of data. There are plenty of FAQ's, Forum questionsand examplesto be found on the Siemens web concerning the usage of the CP342-5 and below are a few "main" ones (which themselves contain further links). What are the differences between an integrated DP interface of my CPU (e.g. CPU 315-2 DP) and the DP interface of the CP 342-5? Notes on linking a CP342-5 as DP slave to a DP master with STEP 7 What master/slave communication options are available on PROFIBUS DP? Simatic Net Quickstart Profibus DP examples I hope this helps |

Hello Lo_quik I think there's some confusion going on here, so let me try to clarify:
The deltaV is aDP Master, your S7 PLC is a DP Slave (via a CP342-5 in this case). The DP Slave needs to be configured in theDP Master and the DP Master will then exchange I/O's with the DP Slave (let's call them "Profibus I/O's" from now on). The main(and basically only) difference for the Emerson Engineer is that he will have to configure a CP342-5 as a DP Slaverather than a 315 CPU (i.e. he will use a different GSD file). The only other difference is that he can only configure/use a maximum of 240 Bytes of I/O's rather than 244(see also my previous post). The bottom line (for the Emerson Engineer) though is: He'll still have the same data exchange mechanims as before in his DeltaV! Lets leave the DP Master and move over to your end (the315 CPU with a CP324-5 as a DP Slave): You will no longer "see" the Profibus I/O's in your CPU as the CP342-5 takes care of this, instead you willexchange data betweenyour CPU and the CP342-5 via FC1 & 2. You will also NOT configure any I/O's directly in the HWconfig setup of your CP342-5 (you would have done this when you used the CPU's oboard DP port as a DP Slave). Instead the lenght of the DB's that you ideally use for data exchange between the CPU and the CP342-5 now determine the overall amount of data that you exchange. You will find a fair few examples in the previosuly listed links, have a another look at the ones that have a CP342-5 as a DP Slave (and ignore the S5 or S7 Master configuration part on the examples)
I don't quite understand what you mean by this, but hope the above clarified this question too. One last thing, if you haven't bought the CP342-5 yet, a DP/DP coupler may be an easier solution or at least something to consider for the future. I hope this helps |
