Loading general station description

The device master data files with English and German language content for the series AES bus
couplers for PROFIBUS DP are located on the CD R412018133, included on delivery. The files
can also be downloaded online from the AVENTICS Media Center.
Each valve system is equipped with a bus coupler; some contain valves and/or I/O modules,
depending on your order. The GSD file contains the data for all modules that require a data
assignment by the user in the data area of the controller. The GSD file with the parameter data
of the modules is loaded in a configuration program, which allows the user to conveniently assign
data to the individual modules and set the parameters.
To configure the valve system PLC, copy the device master data files on CD R412018133
to the computer containing the configuration program.
You can use configuration software from various manufacturers for the PLC configuration.
The descriptions in the following sections therefore focus on the basic procedure for configuring
the PLC.
5.3

Configuring the bus coupler in the fieldbus system

Before you can configure the individual components of the valve system, you need to configure
the bus coupler as a slave in the fieldbus system using your PLC configuration software.
1. Make sure the bus coupler is assigned a valid address (see section 9.2 ?"Setting the address on
the bus coupler" on page 88).
2. Configure the bus coupler as a slave module.

Configuring the valve system

Slot sequence

The components installed in the unit are actuated via the slot procedure of the PROFIBUS DP,
which mirrors the physical configuration of the components.
To the right of the bus coupler (AES-D-BC-PDP) in the valve zone, the slots are numbered starting
with the first valve driver board and continuing to the last valve driver board on the right end
of the valve unit (slot 1 to slot 9 in Fig. 3). Bridge cards are not taken into account. Supply boards and
UA-OFF monitoring boards occupy one slot (see slot 7 in Fig. 3).
The numbering is continued in the I/O zone (slot 10 to slot 12 in Fig. 3). There, numbering
is continued starting from the bus coupler to the left end.
