The maufacturer of a PROFIBUS module must provide a GSD file for his module. I your case you have to look at ABB. If the SIMATICS7 shall be the master, you haveto import the GSD file fortherobot in STEP 7 (see http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/2383630). If the robot shall be the master, you have to import the GSD file for your SIMATIC S7-CPU or CP( look here http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/113652) in the programming tool of the integrated PLC of your robot. |

Hello coso: To complete miami's post, these documents from ABB should help: First an application manual for Profibus communications with AAB robots: Application manual - Technology 2.2. PROFIBUS, IRC5 Hardware overview The hardware of the PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus consists of a Master/Slave unit, DSQC 637, and distributed I/O units (called Slave units). DSQC 637 unit The DSQC 637 unit is connected to the PCI bus of the IRC5 robot controller. The slave units are attached to the fieldbus network. The DSQC 637 unit supports PROFIBUS DP with DPV0, which means that DP-V1 and DP-V2 are not supported. The slave part of the DSQC 637 unit is normally controlled by an external master on a separate PROFIBUS-DP network. This network is a different one than the network holding the slave units for the master part of the board. Slave units The slave units can be I/O units with digital and/or analog signals. They are all controlled via the master part of the DSQC 637 unit. …. 4.1.1. Software overview The GSD-files for the DSQC 637 master/slave are supplied on the RobotWare CD-ROM and can be found in following directory:<CD-ROM unit>:\Utility\fieldbus\PROFIBUS\gsd\ Other links to ABB documentation and robotics forum might also help: Application manual - PROFIBUS DP http://robotstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6702 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
