  1. Unity Application Generator How Can I… Manage devices over Profibus

  2. I have got many devices (field instruments /IOs and some special third party devices) to be connected over Profibus. I want to make each devices available in my architecture so that I can use IO in my control modules. Issue

  3. UAG offers a possibility to include devices connected to PLC over Profibus and made it available in architecture so that IOs can be used in control modules. Complete profibus configuration (from ProSoft /SyCon) can be imported directly into UAG. Goal: To import a profibus configuration file from ProSoft. Assign addresses to each device. Use IO variables from each device in control modules Generate application in Unity with IO scanning for Profibus devices and sections. How to do.. Basic explanation

  4. In UAG, a PLC capable of handling profibus module should be configured. Under the PLC, an appropriate module capable of handling Profibus should be inserted. How to do.. In UAG

  5. By left -clicking on the module, a small menu with ProSoft options will appear. “Create Profibus configuration” should be selected. How to do.. In UAG

  6. ProSoft can be opened by clicking “Open Profibus “option How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  7. In ProSoft, the master should be configured and address /module position should be adapted. How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  8. Addresses of can be found in the “Properties” of CPU in UAG How to do.. In UAG

  9. Addresses window in UAG looks like this: Field-bus addresses should be noted as these are addresses for Profibus How to do.. In UAG

  10. Please use “Configure” option of the Master under ProSoft: How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  11. The addresses and module position in ProSoft should be the same as it is given in UAG (see slide 9). How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  12. The Profibus nodes can be configured by opening “Configure” on “Profibus DP” in ProSoft This screen will appear: User has to click on “Configure Profibus” How to do..In UAG /ProSoft

  13. Profibus node editor will appear. How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  14. User can find all the available profibus nodes – these are SE devices which can be connected to a Profibus. How to do.. In UAG/ProSoft

  15. By “Drag-n-Drop” user can build a complete bus with addresses of each node. How to do.. In UAG/ProSoft

  16. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: User can include third party devices (like field instruments /drives etc) by importing “GSD files” provided by the supplier. How to do.. In UAG/ ProSoft

  17. User has to save and close the node editor. This screen will appear. By clicking on “Show Unity Map” user can see the addressing in Unity mapping How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  18. Unity address mapping User has to close ProSoft.. How to do.. In UAG /ProSoft

  19. System will get back to UAG. User can import “Profibus configuration. UAG will import and a report of import will be generated. How to do.. In UAG

  20. All the Profibus nodes configured inside ProSoft will be appear in UAG. How to do.. In UAG

  21. By using normal “drag-n-drop” function in UAG, variables can be connected to required node in ProSoft. How to do.. In UAG

  22. Unity application can be generated by using “Generate PLC” function in UAG. How to do.. In UAG

  23. UAG will generate all required sections in Unity for communications. Variables will be generated with proper Profibus address. How to do.. In Unity..

  24. How to do.. Recommendations /Notes

  25. Conclusion • In UAG, user can configure Profibus using ProSoft /SyCon tool for Quantum and Premuim PLCs. • Third party devices like field instrumentation can be included by importing related *GSD files into ProSoft afterwards in UAG. • In addition to Profibus devices, Advantys Island can also be included using Advantys software Thanksfor your attention!
