Configuration of the Profibus Master

1. Add Profibus Master FC310x

2. Setup Profibus Master Card

Select Operation Mode "DP/MC (Equidistant)" with 12 MBaud, e.g., Search for the IO address of the FC310x card.
The FC310x firmware version must be 2.56 (or higher).

If drives are added or removed or the telegram type is changed, the button Calculate MC-Times needs to be pressed. The button Activate DRIVECOM server generates an XML file for the OpcDriveCom server. Additionally, the configuration tool for the OpcDriveCom server can be used. The FC3101 should be Sync Master unless there is a FC7501 Sercos Master in the I/O Configuration. In this case Sercos needs to be Sync Master and the Sync Mode must be disabled for the FC3101. The flag Reduced MC-Jitter needs to be selected to keep the GC-Jitter below 1000ns (see MC-Diag tab).

3. ADS-NetID

The ADS NetID is used for ADS communication to the Profibus card (e.g., from the PLC or OPC).
