Uploading the Configuration
During operation the PROFIBUS can be scanned for new devices via ADS Read:
ADS-Read parameters | Meaning |
|---|---|
Net-ID | Net-ID of the master (see the device's ADS tab) |
Port | 200 |
IndexGroup | 0x00yyF830 (yy = station address, Beckhoff devices provide the same information as other devices) |
IndexOffset | 0 |
Length | 1538 |
Data | Configuration data of the slave |
If the device is from another manufacturer, or if the IndexGroup indicates that Beckhoff devices are to behave in exactly the same way as devices from other manufacturers, then the following information is returned in the ADS read response:
Offset | Description |
|---|---|
0 -1 | 1 |
2 - 7 | DP diagnostic data bytes 0-5 (see Slave-Diagnose) |
8 - 251 | DP configuration data (CfgData) |
