The following is a suggested flow of activities for Profibus design in Smart Instrumentation. Note that you can carry out some of the procedures in a different order, depending on your preferences or requirements.

  1. Set the basic definitions as follows:

    • Define Profibus instrument type profiles - Prior to creating new Profibus tag numbers, you need to customize wiring reference items and then define appropriate instrument type profiles in the Instrument Index module so that new tag numbers acquire Profibus properties. This results in automatic assignment of the required properties to the new tag numbers. For details, see Define Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus Instrument Type Profiles.

  2. Create the required DP segments. For details, see Create a Profibus DP Segment.

  3. Create your PLC panels that are compatible with Profibus. For details, see Create a DP-Compatible PLC Panel.

  4. Associate the PLC panels with the DP segments. For details, see Associate a PLC Panel with a Profibus DP Segment.

  5. Create the required Profibus DP multi-input instruments. Create these multi-input instruments with their connected I/O's. For example, create a motor drive and insert it in an MCC cabinet. For details, see Create a Multi-Input Instrument with Terminal Connections for a Fieldbus Segment and Create a Multi-Input Instrument with Plug-and-Socket Connections for a Fieldbus Segment.

  6. Associate the DP motor drives with the DP segments.

  7. Create the Profibus PA instruments. You create these tags based on the instrument types that you defined, and edit the tag number properties as required. For more information, see Create Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus Instruments.

  8. Associate the PA instruments with the PA segments. For details, see Associate Profibus PA Instruments with a PA Segment.

  9. Generate a Profibus layout report. For details, see Generate an Enhanced Profibus Layout Report.
