Hello CubeOI; In the link you provided for the IF762, ithere is a documentation Tab that providesa a link to the GSD file for the Profibus slave: Fieldbus equipment description files This file must be integrated in the Profibus configurator of your Simatic Manager package (in the HWConfiig editor). Once the file is integrated (to do so, open the HWConfig editor but close all projects Inside it, and the use the menu entry Insert GSD file, and point to the directory yoiu have downloaded trhe gsd file to).you can find the slave in the profibus Catalog of HWConfig, and you can drag the slave to the Profibus master line in the Profibus configurator. But then you need to know what amount of data and the structure of the data you want to exchange between the master (S7 PLC) and the slave (B&R PLC). so you need to locate documents on Profibus exchanges for B&R to prepare the data exchanges. there is no documentation for this in the link you provided earlier. The gsd file itself holds information you might find useful (open it and study the contents): the IF762 module supports only a baudrate of 45,45 kB (like a Profibus-PA slave, strange issue), and allows the selection of data exchange modules of 1 W In, 1 W Out, 2 w In, 2 W Out, 10 W in, 10 W Out, 32 W In, 32 W Out, 64 W In or 64 W Out. Note that if a slave supports lower bus speeds, the master must be set at the same low busspeed 9and all the network, by default) to accomodate the slow slave. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
