General information Integration of Profibus DP bus controllers
2. Integration of Profibus DP bus controllers
The purpose of this Getting Started document is to describe the integration of B&R Profibus DP
bus controllers as slaves in Profibus master systems. This includes integrating them in a
Siemens SIMATIC environment as well as an example project created with the B&R Fieldbus
Configurator.
The range of B&R Profibus DP bus controllers includes modules from the X67 and X20 systems.
All B&R Profibus DP bus controllers support X2X Link. The main goal here is to decentralize the
backplane of a rack system. The cable replaces the backplane that connects all of the modules.
Directly connected X20, X67 and XV modules can be arranged in intervals of up to 100 m past
the confines of the switching cabinet.
2.1 X20 Profibus DP bus controller
The X20 Profibus DP bus controller X20BC0063 makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O
nodes to the Profibus DP. It supports Profibus DP with all of its options and other additional
properties. In addition to the device diagnostics, module diagnostics, and channel diagnostics
provided with the Profibus standard, it is also possible, for example, to switch to the slot
diagnostics option in S7 format. X20 or other modules that are based on X2X Link can be
connected to the bus controller.
For a detailed description of the X20BC0063, including a list of required accessories, refer to the
User's Manual for that particular module. Technical details are listed in the corresponding data
sheet.
Model number Short description Image

X20BC0063 X20 bus controller fieldbus interface, 1 Profibus DP interface, status indicator LEDs, 9-pin DSUB
connection
Table 2: X20 Profibus DP bus controller
2.2 X67 Profibus DP bus controller
In addition to the characteristics already named in reference to the X20 bus controllers, the X67
Profibus DP bus controller X67BC6321 has an additional latch function for very fast events that
can be scanned using digital mixed modules. The two additional variants of the X67BC6321
module, identified by the extension at the end of the name (X67BC6321.L08 and
X67BC6321.L12), differ with regard to the number of digital channels and type of connections.
For more detailed information regarding the product and its configuration options, refer to the
User's Manual or data sheet for the module.

www.infoPLC.netGeneral information GSD file
The following table presents an overview of the various X67 Profibus DP bus controllers.

Table 3: X67 Profibus DP bus controller
The following refers to Profibus DP bus controllers in general. The variants are only discussed
with respect to actual variations in the creation of the project.
3. GSD file
For successful integration of a B&R Profibus DP bus controller in the Engineering Tool, the
corresponding GSD file must be imported.
The GSD files for the modules listed above are available on the B&R homepage (www.br-
automation.com) Entering a model number or serial number under "Product Search" brings up
the corresponding product information. The download area for each module has a link to the
GSD Package. This contains a number of graphic files, the "B&R BC Profibus GSD User's
Manual", and the "B&R BC Profibus Design Tool", in addition to the necessary GSD file.
Before you download the file, you can select a version number (e.g. V2.18). When integrating a
Profibus controller in another engineering tool for the first time, it is recommended to use the
highest available version.

www.infoPLC.net
General information B&R BC Profibus GSD User's Manual
It is not necessary to update a previously integrated GSD file, since using a newer GSD file might
require the latest firmware. A firmware update cannot be performed by the user.
After extracting the compressed file, the GSD file can be found in the "Import" folder.
Figure 1: Downloading the GSD file
4. B&R BC Profibus GSD User's Manual
The B&R BC Profibus GSD User's Manual contains more detailed information about GSD files.
This includes a more in-depth explanation of the above mentioned version dependencies and
firmware versions. In addition to instructions for installing the GSD file, it also contains
instructions for configuring the bus controller and I/O modules. Furthermore, the manual also
contains explanations of various diagnostic options and detailed register descriptions.
5. B&R BC Profibus Design Tool
The B&R BC Profibus Design Tool makes it possible to test the feasibility of potential bus
configurations. After selecting the bus controller, the local I/O, and the X2X cycle time, all
conceivable variations of the connected I/O modules can be configured. If the combination
entered is technically feasible, the status indicator will read "Ok". The total number of modules
selected is listed in parentheses. The bus controller itself is counted automatically, so at least
one module is always configured. If there are conflicts in the configuration, the status indicator
reads "Parameter frame too big (Profibus DP Standard)".
The X2X cycle time input field has a selection of times from 200 s to 1 ms. The desired number
of I/O modules can be entered in the gray "Used" column.
The order of I/O modules on the bus is irrelevant here; only data related to power is relevant. X67
supply modules (X67PS1300) cannot be configured, and do not need to be, since as purely
electronic modules for power supply they do not carry any I/O data traffic. All other modules

www.infoPLC.net
General information B&R BC Profibus Design Tool
require an entry. To make the configuration process as simple as possible, the "Available"
General information
column lists the maximum possible number of each module. It is dynamic, and is automatically
Chapter 1
updated after every entry.
When you have selected the X20BC0063, the only local I/O available is the required
X20PS9400. This is not the case with the X67 bus controllers. For these modules, there are
several local I/Os to select from. They are are identified by the extension "-CO1, -CO2,..." at the
end of their name. This describes the register assignment in the module, and is described in the
B&R BC Profibus GSD User's Manual. If no selection is made here, the value suggested by the
Design Tool can be used.

Chapter 2
Much of the following information can also be found in the manual "SIMATIC, Configure
Hardware and Connections with STEP 7" for the SIMATIC STEP 7 software from Siemens. This
is available free from the documentation area under the address
http://www.automation.siemens.com. The screen shots seen here were also created using the
SIMATIC software from Siemens.
2. Requirements
2.1 Software
For an engineering tool, the SIMATIC STEP7 V5.4 software package from SIEMENS is used.
The following screen shots are taken from this version. The B&R Profibus DP bus controllers can
also be used with older software versions without problems, however. There may be differences
in the layout of the user interface, but the menu structure has mainly been kept the same. There
should be no problems integrating the bus controllers using this document as a reference.
2.2 Hardware
A Profibus master is required in order to use any of the B&R Profibus DP bus controllers. For an
example configuration, we selected a SIMATIC S7-300 station with the CPU315-2DP. It takes
the role of the Profibus master, and serves as the starting point for the integration. In order to
program the CPU and access it for diagnostics, an online connection is required. Configuration
options for the programming interface, like using a PC adapter for example, can be found in the
Online Help for the SIMATIC Manager as well as in the appropriate User's Manual.
2.3 Project environment
A new GSD file can only be added to an open project. Either an existing project can be opened
or a new one can be created. This is done using the "New Project Wizard" or entered manually.

SIMATIC Manager Requirements www.infoPLC.net
2.3.1 Creating a new project manually
A new project can be created in the SIMATIC Manager from the menu under: File->New. Under
the "User Projects" tab, you can assign a project name (in this case "test") and choose where to
save the project. Select "Project" as the project type. No settings need to be made under the
"Libraries" and "Multiprojects" tabs.
Figure 3: Creating a new project
Once the project is created, the hardware must be configured. In the menu, under
Insert->SIMATIC 300 Station, you can add a SIMATIC 300 station. The user can choose a name
for the station. Here we used the name "SIMATIC 300(1)".
Figure 4: Selecting the SIMATIC 300 station
The selected SIMATIC 300 station is then listed in the project folder "test".
When you select the SIMATIC 300(1) station, an icon appears in the right window for configuring
the hardware. A double click opens the hardware configuration window.

www.infoPLC.net
SIMATIC Manager Requirements
Figure 5: Inserted SIMATIC 300 station
In order to add the desired components, the hardware catalog must be made visible under
SIMATIC Manager
View->Catalog.
Chapter 2
Alternatively, components can be added via Insert->Insert Object .
Figure 6: Hardware configuration window
A mounting rail is used as a foundation for further configuration (SIMATIC300/Rack-300/Rail).

The CPU315-2DP is then added to this (SIMATIC300/CPU-300/CPU315-2DP). This is only
possible on slot 2, since slot 1 is reserved for the supply voltage.
After it is added, a configuration window opens for the fieldbus connection. If the project does
not yet have a Profibus connection, a new one can be created using the "New" button. The
engineering tool automatically suggests a name (PROFIBUS(1)) as well as the Subnet ID. The
Subnet ID is a combination of the project number and the subnet number. It is important if you
want to go online with a programming device and no corresponding project exists.
If no other entries are known, the values suggested by the engineering tool can be used. No
settings need to be made under the "Network Settings" tab. The automatically entered values
are the standard Profibus configuration. This also applies to the "Options" and "Bus Parameters"

settings. The baud rate can be set between 9.6 kBits/s and 12,000 kBits/s. Both the X20BC0063
and the X67BC6321 have automatic baud rate detection and support the entire available range
of baud rates.

Chapter 2
Figure 13: Selecting the network connections view
For the Profibus DP bus controller to be connected successfully, the DP interface of the SIMATIC
300(1) station on the CPU315-2DP must be active. When active, is it is highlighted (see image
below).
After integrating the bus controller, a configuration window opens. The only thing to configure is
the address. All other settings can be left as they are. Important: the selected addresses must
match the node numbers set on the bus controller.
Figure 14: Integrating the bus controllers

Information:
Both X67 and X20 Profibus DP bus controllers only take on the newly assigned node
numbers after a restart!
Figure 15: X20BC0063 - node number switches
On the X67BC6321 the left node number switch should be multiplied by 16.
After a successful integration, the configuration should like this:

SIMATIC Manager X2X Link extension
5. X2X Link extension
Open the hardware configuration by double-clicking on the B&R bus controller symbol in the
network connections view. The desired I/O modules can be added to the bus controller from the
hardware catalog.
Unlike with the B&R BC Design Tool, the order of modules does play an important role here. The
positions/slot numbers of the I/O modules must match the actual physical structure.
Since the Profibus DP bus controller X67BC6321 includes the X67DM1321 module, this is
automatically positioned at slot 1. In configurations with the X20 bus controller X20BC0063, the
SIMATIC Manager
required power supply module X20PS9400 is positioned at slot 1. All other slot assignments can
Chapter 2
be chosen freely.
In the example, an X67DO1332-C01 and an X67DI1371-C01 are connected to the X2X Link. The
engineering tool automatically assigns the I/O addresses, and this can be ignored for now.

5.1 Configuring the I/O modules
Right-click and select "Object Properties" to configure the various I/O modules.
Figure 19: Configuring the I/O modules
Under the "Address/ID" tab you can assign addresses manually. In the "Parameter Assignment"
section, in the "Device-specific parameters" folder, it is possible, for example, to manually set the
digital channels of the X67DM1321 module as inputs or outputs. The values provided in the "Hex
parameter assignment" folder should not be changed. These hex number combinations are
automatically generated from the selected configuration. If a particular I/O module does not
require configuration, then no "Device-specific parameters" folder is displayed.

5.2 Variable assignments
Variable names can be assigned in the "Edit Symbols" window. Right-clicking on an I/O module
opens the configuration window for that module. Every channel can be assigned symbolic
names and detailed comments.
SIMATIC Manager
Chapter 2
Figure 20: Variable assignments
6. Downloading the Configuration
After making the desired configurations and module assignments as well as the corresponding
software configuration, the configuration is transferred to the controller (CPU315-2DP). To begin
the transfer process, the project must be saved and compiled. In the hardware or network
connections views, this can be done using the menu option Station/Network->Save and
Compile. Control data is downloaded using the Download button, or using the menu option
PLC->Download (Download to Current Project) while the SIMATIC station is selected. A project
can also be downloaded in the hardware or network connections views. After selecting the
controller onto which the new project is to be transferred, the necessary interface can be
configured. Use "View" to see a list of all available stations.
In order to program the controller, it must be temporarily set to "STOP". This message should
also be acknowledged with "OK". After the download is complete, the CPU will restart after
asking for confirmation.
7. Controlling the modules
In order to quickly and simply test, for example, a module's outputs, there is the "Monitor/Modify"
function. This can be called up when in hardware view by right-clicking on a module. The
modified values can be entered and then assigned by selecting "Modify". The "Monitor" function
monitors the inputs and outputs and displays their current status.

B&R Fieldbus Configurator Introduction
Chapter 3 B&R Fieldbus Configurator
1. Introduction
The B&R Fieldbus Configurator makes it possible create a uniform configuration for the most
popular fieldbus systems, such as Profibus, CANopen, and DeviceNet. Standardized
configuration files (GSD, ESD files) are used to configure the various bus stations. A graphic
editor is used to configure the bus and the corresponding bus stations.
Additionally, the B&R Fieldbus Configurator can create BR files (with the ending ".br"). These are
needed to configure the stations in the Profibus network for a project using Automation Studio.
B&R Fieldbus
Configurator
2. Integrating the GSD file
Chapter 3
When the program starts, the B&R Fieldbus Configurator automatically reads all GSD files which
are stored in its GSD directory. The device names are recorded in an internal list. The device
specific data is read from the GSD file during the configuration.
If a DP slave device is required that does not yet appear in the selection list, it must be added.
There are two ways to do this. Either via the user interface itself or within the directory structure
of the B&R Fieldbus Configurator.
2.1 User interface
New GSD files can be integrated via the menu under File->Copy GSD. In the window that opens,
the source path of the desired GSD file (".gsd") can be entered. A copy of the selected file is
saved in the GSD folder of the B&R Fieldbus Configurator. Be sure that the files you are
importing are not write protected. In addition to the GSD file, the graphic files needed to display
the module in the Configurator are also imported. A message box will appear to acknowledge
the successful copy of the GSD file and the corresponding bitmap files.
2.2 Directory structure
All GSD files imported into the Configurator are saved in one folder. This folder is found here:
BrAutomationTools\BRFBCfg\Fieldbus\PROFIBUS\GSD.
GSD files to be added can be placed in this folder.
To ensure a successful integration, the files must have the format "*.gsd". The Configurator's
GSD folder can be moved anywhere in the directory structure. It is also possible to create a new
folder.

www.infoPLC.net
B&R Fieldbus Configurator Integrating the GSD file
Figure 22: GSD folder
It is important to remember, however, that the B&R Fieldbus Configurator can only use one folder
as a reference for the GSD database. All necessary GSD files must therefore be stored in this
folder.
The path for the GSD folder can be set in the menu under: Settings\Path.
Figure 23: Path of the GSD folder
In the field "GSD File Directory", you can enter the path for the folder containing the GSD files.
There is also the option of setting both the "Extension" of the GSD files to be imported as well
as the "Project File Directory". If you do not wish to change them, the default values can be used.
For the Configurator to apply the changes you have made, the software must be restarted.
GSD files specified by the PNO (PROFIBUS user organization) for PROFIBUS FMS are not
supported by the B&R Fieldbus Configurator.
2.3 Viewing the GSD file
Using the viewing window Tools->GSD Viewer you can display more detailed information about
the selected GSD file. In addition to general information such as module name and ID number,
you can also display the revision number and supported baud rates.
All values listed in the GSD Viewer are read-only, and cannot be changed. By clicking on "More",
you can see notes regarding, for example, the maximum length of inputs and outputs. All graphic
files for the module are listed in the "Layout" selection. The "Identifier" button reveals addressing
information about each of the integrated modules.

3. Creating a Profibus DP configuration
Select File->New to create a new configuration. All installed fieldbus systems are shown in a list.
In this example, "PROFIBUS" should be selected as the fieldbus. The name of the newly created
project can be assigned at the end or with the function File->Save As.
3.1 Inserting a master
A master can be inserted using the menu option Insert->Master. This can be also be done using
the appropriate icon. A selection window opens, which lists all available masters on the left side.
Here you have the chance to assign masters a station address and a description. These can be
edited at any time when configuring the individual masters.
In the example below, the aPCI interface module 3IF766.9 is selected (Profibus DP master).
Figure 25: Master selection
After selecting the master (3IF766.9), the configuration will look like this:
Figure 26: Selecting a DP master - 3IF766.9

www.infoPLC.net
B&R Fieldbus Configurator Creating a Profibus DP configuration
3.1.1 Master configuration
By placing the focus on the master and selecting the menu option
Settings->Master Settings, double-clicking on the master, or via the right-click menu, you can
open the master configuration window. The following settings are possible:
Station address of master

(Symbolic) description of the master
Selection of the master as the current master (e.g. to execute a download)
For Profibus DP there are additional setting options:
To open the DP Master Settings window

To activate/deactivate auto addressing
Auto addressing means that:
The addresses are assigned starting at 0 and increasing according to the entry order of the
slaves. They can be displayed and checked under the menu option View->Address table. The
B&R Fieldbus
information is updated when you save the configuration, view the address table, or before you
Configurator
Chapter 3
download.
When auto addressing is deactivated, the user must enter the addresses for the slaves manually.
Figure 27: Master configuration window
After clicking on the "DP Master Settings" button, the following settings can be made for the
master:
Startup behavior after system initialization

If "Automatic release of the communication by the device" is selected, the master device starts
with the data exchange on the bus immediately after the initialization has completed. When
"Controlled release of the communication by the application program" is selected, data
exchange on the bus is initialized by the application program. This option guarantees that no

unwanted states reach the outputs, since the application program has complete control over the
I/O data traffic. However, this requires systematic control of the modules by the application
program. The following example configuration is executed using Automation Studio.
User program monitoring

The watchdog time determines how long the device waits for the software watchdog to be
triggered by the application program until it sets the outputs of the slave device to zero. This
action does not start automatically and must be enabled by the application program.
Addressing mode
The addressing mode for the process data determines how the process data addresses (offsets)
are interpreted. Byte addressing and word addressing are both possible.
Storage format (word module)

The storage format determines how the data words are stored in the process image. For the
word format, you can switch between Big or Little Endian addressing.
Handshake of the process data

This is for setting the handshake process of the process data between the application and the
master. This selection is important for the correct data exchange between the application
program and the device.
The handshake selected must be supported by the application program. This is the case, for
example, for "buffered, host controlled" and for "bus synchronous, host controlled".
The option "no consistence, uncontrolled" is useful for quick, simple diagnostics.

www.infoPLC.net
The size of the hardware's dual port memory is specified with this parameter. The value
increases or decreases the valid address range for the process data addresses. This is only a
static display of the value. It cannot be changed.
For the following example, the settings should be made to match those in the above screenshot.
3.2 Bus parameters
Using menu option Settings->Bus Parameter, the baud rate can be set between 9.6 kBits/s and
12,000 kBits/s. Both the X20BC0063 and the X67BC6321 have automatic baud rate detection
and support the entire available range of baud rates.
3.3 Inserting a slave
A Profibus DP slave can be inserted into the configuration via menu option Insert->Slave , or by
clicking on the appropriate icon. All slave devices which have GSD files stored in the GSD
directory are available for selection and displayed in the list on the left. A filter can be used to
limit the selection list to certain slave types (I/O slave, PLC, etc.) or vendors.
B&R Fieldbus
Configurator
Chapter 3
Additional information regarding the individual slaves can be found below the "Available slaves"
selection list if they have been selected.. The slave appears in the list on the right by double
clicking or by clicking on the Add button. All devices in the list on the right are assigned to the
current master, which is also displayed in this window.
Figure 29: Slave selection window

The station address automatically increases by one with each slave added to the list on the right.
The station address and the slave name can be changed at any time in the slave configuration
window.
Information:
Both X67 and X20 Profibus DP bus controllers only take on the newly assigned node
numbers after a restart!
Note: A slave can be selected more than once. However, each slave must have its own unique
station address to tell it apart from other slaves on the network. Important: the station addresses
entered must match the node numbers set on the bus controller.
In the example configuration, the Profibus DP bus controller X67BC6321 is selected as slave. It
connects the Profibus DP network with the X2X Link. If multiple masters are configured in a
project, it is important to ensure that when the slaves are inserted they are assigned to their
corresponding masters (this can be selected in the top right of the "Init Slave" window or in the
slave configuration).
Figure 32: Master - Slave example configuration

www.infoPLC.net
3.3.1 Slave Configuration
The slave configuration window opens with a double-click on the desired slave or via the menu
option Settings->Slave Configuration. In this window, modules and their addresses are assigned
in the process image memory of the master.
Important: The addresses entered must match the ones in the PC application.

Figure 33: X67BC6321 - slave configuration window
The general settings of the slave configuration include station address and slave name.
Depending on whether the "Activate device in actual configuration" field is selected, the slave
can be activated or deactivated in the current fieldbus configuration. If this is deactivated,
process memory is used in the master for this slave, however no data exchange occurs from the
master to this slave. A deactivated slave is crossed out in the graphic view.
The "Enable watchdog control" function activates communication monitoring. This is used by the
slaves to identify communication errors to the corresponding DP master. If the DP slave
determines an interruption in its communication with the master, defined by the monitoring time,
then the slave independently resets and sets the outputs to a safe state. If this function is
deactivated and the master fails during the communication, the slave outputs are not reset. This
may result in dangerous situations! Think carefully, therefore, before turning off the watchdog
monitoring.

Another feature of the general setting area is information about the slave configuration. The
information includes the maximum number of connected modules and the actual current number
of connected modules. The information about the maximum data lengths for input and output
data compared to the actually configured lengths can be helpful for address management.
In the middle section there is a display window with the current module selection. All modules
that are integrated and available for selection are listed here. For each module there is
information about the required input and output bytes.
The lower section lists the already configured modules. This list can be adjusted by removing or
adding modules from the module selection. Be sure that the slot assignments match the actual
physical structure!
Since the Profibus DP bus controller X67BC6321 includes the X67DM1321 module,
it must always be positioned at slot 1. All other slot assignments can be chosen
freely.
With configurations using the X20 bus controller X20BC0063, remember that slot 1
must always be reserved for the power supply module X20PS9400. All other slot
assignments can be chosen freely.
I/O addresses can be entered by the user or automatically assigned using the B&R Fieldbus
Configurator. This is done using the "auto addressing" function, which can be activated in the
master configuration. Offset address specifications apply to data addressing in the master.
Address specifications do not apply to data addressing in the slave. The slave organizes its own
data addressing.
Input and output data from the slave is transferred on the bus directly to dual port memory. Offset
addresses refer to the master. There are two types of slaves: a simple slave has a fixed data
length. A modular slave has a data length which can be configured. A modular slave is basically
a combination of simple slaves with one station address.
Clicking on the "Symbolic Names" button, you can assign symbolic names to the modules and
individual bits. Previously defined and saved modules can be added to the configuration using
the "Predefined Modules" button.
3.3.2 Parameter data
Clicking on the "Parameter Data" button in the slave configuration or by selecting menu option
Settings->Parameter Data with the slave selected opens the window for editing parameter data.
This data is generated based on the number of modules used and their configuration and should
not be altered.

4. Online connection
An online connection is required to load the newly created configuration to the Profibus DP
master. To select this and start the download, select menu option Online->Download. A window
opens with a list of available interfaces.
In this example, the serial interface will be used. To do this, select "CIF Serial Driver". Similarly,
one could use the TCP/IP interface, for example. Information about the configuration options can
be found in the online help for the B&R Fieldbus Configurator.
B&R Fieldbus
Configurator
Chapter 3
Figure 39: Interface selection
The serial interface selected on the programming device (PC) can be connected using the
"Connect COM x" button. If the connection attempt fails, the appropriate error number is returned
(see online help for the error codes).
Only when the returned error value is "0" can the interface be used for communication. The
following image shows a connection to the COM 2 interface.
Figure 40: Selection - COM interface

B&R Fieldbus Configurator Online connection
4.1 Downloading the created configuration
If a connection has been established via the serial interface, the configuration can be transferred.
If bus data traffic is already in progress, a message appears stating that both the master and the
slave will be stopped for the attempted download.
4.2 Result of the configuration
If in the master configuration the start up behavior after system initialization was set to
"Automatic release of the communication by the device", then the Profibus DP slaves (in this
case the B&R Profibus DP bus controllers) start automatically and should be in RUN mode, just
like the master.
When "Controlled release of the communication by the application program" is selected, the
slave waits for the application program to initialize the start. This can be observed on the status
LEDs. The status of the bus controllers is "Wait for Config" (X67BC6321: Status Indicator 1:
Green/On, Red/Blinking) (X20BC0063: STATUS/On, ERROR/Blinking). The bus controllers are
not switched to RUN mode until the the configuration is started in the application program.
4.3 Controlling the modules
The network connections view is a quick and simple interface for controlling the module outputs.
It can be opened with the menu option Window->Network View. The left column contains the
logical network view, which shows both the master and the corresponding slaves.
In the middle is a tag list, and to the right is the I/O watch window. Pulling selected bus elements
from the left side into this window lets you monitor input and output data and assign the provided
values. To do this, right-click on the desired element and choose "Start".
Figure 41: Network view

B&R Fieldbus Configurator Project configuration in Automation Studio
All selected modules are listed in a table view. For the X67DM1321 all digital channels have
been set as outputs.
The output values are also listed, since they are read back over the input channels. The output
LEDs on the module should light up according to the value entered in the "Value" field.
Figure 42: I/O watch
Note: This is only possible with the "No consistence, uncontrolled" handshake. Otherwise the I/O
master data are always overwritten by the I/O buffer.
5. Project configuration in Automation Studio
B&R Fieldbus
Configurator
Chapter 3
To configure the Profibus DP slaves in Automation Studio, they must first be integrated. They
cannot simply be inserted in the hardware tree as usual. A BR module must therefore be created
using the B&R Fieldbus Configurator that contains the entire network configuration. This can
then be inserted as a "System Object".
5.1 Requirements in Automation Studio
In addition to the necessary BR files, the "DPMaster" library must be integrated in the library
manager. This can be opened via Open->Library Manager. The "Insert Library" icon opens a
selection window. In the "Add Library" section the "DPMaster" library can be selected and
inserted.
5.2 Communication profile
The settings in the B&R Fieldbus Configurator must be different than in the previous example to
prevent unwanted states at the outputs. In the master configuration, the communication profile
must be switched to "Controlled release of the communication by the application program" and
the data traffic must be switched to "Buffered, host controlled". All other settings can be used as
they are.

www.infoPLC.net
5.3 Creating a BR module
If you are satisfied with your configuration and all modules are set up, then a BR module can be
created via menu option Tool->B&R->Generate DBM/BR Module. To do this the focus must be
on the master in the graphic view.
The creation of the BR module runs in the background. The the created files are stored in the
project folder. A subfolder is created, with the same name as the master, which contains the
entire configuration.
If the project contains multiple masters, a subfolder is made for each one that contains the
created files. These folders have the same names as the respective masters.
The created BR files are named as follows: "dpm_xxx.br". Where "xxx" stands for the station
number that was entered for the master. In addition to the ".br" file, a ".dpm" and a ".bak" file are
also created.
The following image shows two saved projects ("test00", "test01"). The project "test01" contains
two masters ("Station_1" and "Station_5"). Since for "Station_5" the station number "5" was
entered, the created files are named "dpm_005.***".
Figure 43: BR module folder

www.infoPLC.net
5.4 Inserting a BR module
Created BR modules can be inserted in an open Automation Studio project. A "System Object"
can be inserted under the menu option Insert->New Object. The desired BR file can be selected
and integrated.
The inserted BR module can be found in the list of data objects. A project may look like this:

5.5 Configuration of a B&R Profibus DP bus controller
Integrating the BR module lays the foundation for the integration of the slave modules, yet these
must still be initialized, started/stopped, and configured. The following example will describe a
simple control of the outputs.

5.5.1 Initialization
Module initialization procedure:
Figure 45: Module initialization
DPMInit
When this function is called, the module specified by "DPMInit_0.Device" is initialized. In this
case it is the interface module 3IF766.9 (SS1) with the PROFIBUS DP interface (IF2).
DPMConfig
The "DPMConfig_0.DevIdent" parameter specifies the module on which a download should
occur. Data is supplied by the "DPMInit" function. The "DPMConfig_0.ConfModulName" pointer
specifies the name of the configuration module which should be loaded to this card. The
previously created "dpm_000" from the configuration with the X67BC6321 (all channels set as
outputs), the X67DO1332 and the X67DI1371 has been selected here.

www.infoPLC.net
5.5.2 I/O data traffic
In this example application, the outputs of the X67DM1321 and the X67DO1332 should be
controlled. A variable is used to count upwards and send the result to the digital outputs. If an
overrun occurs, it resets to 0 and starts again.
B&R Fieldbus
Configurator
Chapter 3
Figure 46: Controlling the outputs
DMPStart
The "DPMStart_0.DevIdent" parameter specifies which master should be started. Data is
supplied by the DPMInit function.
DPMio
This function block is attached to the previously selected buffered, master controlled
communication profile. I/O data transfer is buffered by cyclically calling the FBKs from a task
class and by the configured communication mode.
The "DPMio_0.DevIdent" parameter specifies which B&R card the I/O data should copy. Data is
supplied by the DPMInit function. This FBK copies the input and output data areas between the
DPMaster and the specified buffers. Possible process data transfer procedures:
Buffered, host controlled

Bus synchronous, host controlled

www.infoPLC.net
5.6 Transferring project to controller
After the newly created project has been successfully compiled (Project->Build All) it can be
transferred to the controller. (Project->Transfer to Target). To start the CPU, execute a warm
restart (Project->Services->WarmRestart).
