6.3.2 CP 5x11 Parameter Sets (PROFIBUS - DP Slave)
CP 5X11 (PROFIBUS - DP Slave)" Parameter Set
The "CP 5X11 (PROFIBUS - DP Slave)" parameter set is required for DP slave operation; it must be assigned to the DPSONLINE access point. All the parameters for operation as a DP slave are transferred with DPS_open(). No additional settings are necessary in the PG/PC Panel.
Specifying the Bus Parameters
The bus parameters for DP cannot be set using the configuration program "Setting the PG/PC Interface". They are transferred when DPS_open() is called.
26
C79000-Z8974-C53-03
6.3.3 CP 5x11 (PROFIBUS) Parameter Sets
CP 5X11 (PROFIBUS) Parameter Set
With the standard parameter set CP 5X11 (PROFIBUS), access to PROFIBUS networks for SAPI S7 or for FDL applications and the applications based on other protocols (for example STEP 7) is possible. In the Properties dialog, you can modify the PROFIBUS bus parameters. The local parameters are set under Station Parameters: The local PROFIBUS address and a layer 4 timeout (no significance). With the Programming device / PC is the only master on the bus checkbox, you can decide how the interface is entered into the PROFIBUS ring. If this checkbox is deactivated, the interface can be included in a ring that is already active while the interface is turned on. If, however the interface is intended as the only master in the PROFIBUS network, this checkbox must be activated. The Network Parameters are valid for the entire PROFIBUS network and must match up on all nodes. The bus profiles contain predefined data records containing bus parameters. Select the DP bus profile if you are only operating S7 components in your PROFIBUS network. If you are also using S5 components or devices from other vendors on the bus, you must use the Universal profile. Select the Standard bus profile for the multimaster mode with fast bus nodes. If you set the User-Defined bus profile, you can set the bus parameters after clicking the Bus Parameters... button. If a different bus profile is set, the bus parameters can only be monitored.

Note
No further configuration is necessary for FDL.
7.1 COM PROFIBUS for SOFTNET DP
Working with COM PROFIBUS
You require the COM PROFIBUS configuration software to configure the structure of the bus, the DP master and the DP slaves. You can also create detailed system documentation with COM PROFIBUS.
Note
COM PROFIBUS is installed automatically along with SOFTNET DP. when you install from the CD. If you install from diskettes,you will find the COM PROFIBUS diskettes on the CD in the SW\COM_PB folder.
Important Note
The DP interface of SOFTNET is compatible with the DP interface of the product DP 5412 for Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0.
Procedure
Follow the steps below to create a database for SOFTNET:

Step 1 Description Start the COM PROFIBUS program using the start menu (Start>Programs>Siemens COM PROFIBUS>COM PROFIBUS). Start a new configuration with the menu command File > New . Select the station type SOFTNET DP as the master and specify the station address of the master. Confirm your selection with OK. Reaction: A new DP project is created using the specified master. 4 Configure the DP network as described in the manual ET 200 Distributed I/O System. (Enter bus parameters with the menu command Configure > Bus Parameters, select slaves and enter slave parameters (Configure > Slave Parameters) ). Save the configuration (menu command File > Save ).
2 3
32
C79000-Z8974-C53-03
Create the DP database (.LDB and .TXT) using the menu command File > Export > NCM File . Reaction: The converter is started. This creates a loadable database (.LDB), an ASCII database (.TXT) and an ASCII output file (.ERR).
Enter the name of the DP database in the Setting the PG/PC Interface configuration program, as follows: Start the configuration program (for example taskbar Start > Control Panel > Setting the PG/PC Interface ). Now select an interface name CP_L2_X: (X=1 to 4), that references a device parameter set 5x11 (DP Master) or create the assignment (see Section 4.5).
Click the Properties button. Reaction: The PROFIBUS DP Master properties page appears.
Now enter the path and the file name of the previously created database (.LDB). Use the Search... button to look through your hard disk(s). Confirm your selections with OK.

Check the setting of the Programming device / PC is the only master on the bus checkbox. This should only be deactivated when you want to connect the CP to an active PROFIBUS. If the CP of the PG/PC is the only master, the checkbox must be activated. Confirm all your settings with OK.
11
You can now start your DP master application. To test your application, you can use the DP sample program DPMDEMO.EXE. You can start this from the program menu.
33
C79000-Z8974-C35-03
7.2 Creating the SAPI-S7 Database

Creating the Database There are two ways of creating a SAPI-S7 database: 1. Option You create a database with the "STEP 7" program (recommended). Here, you can select the format in which you want to create the database: LDB format or XDB format Procedure: Please read the documentation shipped with STEP 7 (version 4.2 or higher). 2. Option You create a database with the "COML S7" program. The format of the database is "LDB". Procedure: Start the "COML S7" program in the Simatic path (Taskbar Start Simatic SIMATIC NET COML S7).
You can continue to use the databases created with COML S7 (LDB file) even if you are using the XDB configuration file at the same time. It is, however, advisable to use only XDB configuration files.
Advantages of XDB with STEP 7

7.3 COML S7 for SOFTNET S7
Working with COML S7
The configuration tool COML S7 set up during the installation of SOFTNET S7 is used to specify the basic information required by the S7 programming interface (SAPI S7) to establish a connection.
Important note
The SAPI-S7 interface of SOFTNET is compatible with the SAPI-S7 interface of the product S7-5412 for Windows 98/Windows NT 4.0.

Procedure
Follow the steps below to create a database for SOFTNET:

Step 1 2 3 4 Description Start the COML S7 program using the start menu (Start>Programs>SIMATIC NET>SOFTNET S7>COML S7). Start a new configuration with the menu command File > New . Select PROFIBUS as the network type. Configure the S7 connections as described in the manual Configuring the S7 Mode with COML S7. This manual is on the SIMATIC NET CD. You should also note the information in the COML S7 online help. Save the configuration (menu command File > Save Text DB). Create the S7 database (.LDB) using the menu command File > Create Binary DB As... Close the COML S7 program. 7 Specify the name of the S7 database in the Setting the PG/PC Interface configuration program, as follows: Start the configuration program (for example taskbar Start > Control Panel > Setting the PG/PC Interface). Now select an interface name (for example CP_L2_1:) that references a device parameter set or create the assignment (see Section 4.5). 8 Click the Properties button. Reaction: The PROFIBUS Network or MPI Network properties page appears. 9 Select the SAPI S7 properties page. Now enter the path and the file name of the previously created database (.LDB). Use the Search... button to look through your hard disk(s). Confirm your selections with OK. 10 Check the setting of the "Programming device / PC is the only master on the bus" checkbox. This should only be deactivated when you want to connect the CP to an active PROFIBUS ring. If the CP of the PG/PC is the only master, the checkbox must be activated. Confirm all your settings with OK. 11 You can now start your S7 application. Source code is available for debugging.

9 Troubleshooting
9.1 Under Windows 98
Card not Entered in the Device Manager?
The controller type does not match the Card & Socket services with which Windows 98 operates.
Resource Problem?
You can reassign the resources in the Control Panel (by double-clicking the entry PCMCIA Card Siemens CP 5511). Check whether there is a resource conflict in the Device Manager.
Wrong PG/PC Setting?
Check whether the access point and the interface parameter set match.
Configuration Problem?
Check whether the database LDB exists and whether it is entered in the PG/PC interface. Check the node addresses and the bus parameters settings.
9.2 Under Windows NT 4.0
Controller Type Problem?
SystemSoft CardWizard
Check whether your controller type or platform is supported by the Cardware version. The information about the controller type is often on the controller itself. If you cannot find the information there, contact the manufacturer of your computer. As an alternative to the Award Cardware, you can also use the CardWizard from SystemSoft if Cardware cannot be run on your computer. For more detailed infomation refer to the readme.txt file of your product and in the instructions for operating the SystemSoft CardWizard (PDF file on your CD).

C79000-Z8974-C35-03
Installing/ Uninstalling an Interface Later
If you want to install or uninstall a further interface on your PC after the CP 5511, you should inform the resource manager of the card services of the released (after uninstalling) or newly occupied resources (after installing). To home in on the problem, use the diagnostic tool (in the PG/PC interface) (see Chapter 8). If errors occur, first check whether the memory areas and interrupts used by the Cardware are really free and not being used by other components. Since Windows NT 4.0 does not fully support Plug & Play, the user is also responsible for handling resources. During installation, the Cardware normally detects free memory areas, there is however no 100% guarantee.
Resource Problem?
Problem Installing Cardware
If you install the Cardware from your SIMATIC NET product CD, skip this point. If you have purchased the Award Cardware separately, remember the following points. In this case, a so-called card enabler was installed. This must be deactivated to operate the CP 5511.
There are two ways of deactivating the card enabler: First method: Remove PCCARD.EXE from the Autostart menu of your PC \WINNT\PROFILES\AllUsers\Startmenu\Programs\Autostart\PCCard When you boot the PC, the card is no longer displayed. Cardware is however activated. The CP 5511 can be operated.
Second method: Change the start type of PCENABLE.SYS to manual . Click My Computer Click Control Panel Click Devices Click pcenable (select) Click Startup Type Click Manual Reboot your PC
When you boot the PC, a PCMCIA card is displayed with the comment unable to get the card name. Cardware is however activated. The CP 5511 can be operated.
42
C79000-Z8974-C53-03
Problem Managing Resources
When you install the Cardware, the installation program checks which resources (interrupts, memory) are already being used by other components. These are entered in the registry and are not available to the Cardware. This method is intended to avoid device conflicts. Depending on the system, resources are occasionally claimed by two components. In this case, the registry must be changed manually. If you want to prevent certain interrupts or memory ranges being used by PC cards, note the following points.
1.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCCS\Resources 2.
Under resources, you can make further entries. Examples: XIRQ,6,E prevents the use of Interrupt 6. XMEM,0xA0000,0x30000,E prevents the use of memory range 0xA0000 to 0xCFFFF. Update the total number of entries.
These resources can no longer be assigned by the Cardware.
After modifications in the registry, you must reboot your PC.
