Before commissioning a PROFIBUS system, stations must be assigned unique addresses.

 

The PROFIBUS address of a DP slave can be adjusted in two ways:

1.Through settings on the device with the help of switches or another control interface.

2.By sending a special telegram via the PROFIBUS. Address 126 is reserved as the default address for a DP slave.

 

This second function is not necessarily supported by every DP slave. The entry

 

Set_Slave_Add_supp = 1

 

in the GSD file indicates whether this function is supported.

 

The address of a DP slave can only be changed in the state Wait Parameter (WPRM). Only when the DP slave is in this state can the master (typically a class 2 master) send a telegram to modify the DP slave's address. The master should first verify that the new address is actually free.

 

After the address has been changed, it is necessary to execute a cold-start (power supply off and on again) of the DP slave.
