Help Configuring Siemens DP/PA Link (IM153-2 + IM157) with DeltaV Profibus-DP Network

Hello everyone,

We’re working on integrating a Siemens DP/PA Link (consisting of IM153-2 and IM157 modules) into a DeltaV Profibus-DP I/O network. The goal is to add a Profibus-PA device — specifically, an OPTEK UV control box — to monitor UV data and status through this link.

The main challenge we’re facing is address configuration across the Profibus chain, including:

  • The DP slave (IM153-2),

  • The DP/PA coupler (IM157), and

  • The OPTEK UV control box (which has a default address of 126).

According to OPTEK’s manual, the UV control box requires a Profibus configuration tool to issue the SET_SLAVE_ADDRESS command from a Class 2 master (which, I assume, would be the DeltaV Profibus-DP master card).

However, I have not found a way to execute this command within DeltaV.

Has anyone successfully configured Siemens DP/PA Link devices with DeltaV or changed a Profibus-PA device address (like the OPTEK UV box) in a similar setup? Any guidance, configuration steps, or tools required would be greatly appreciated.

  • I believe the DeltaV Profibus card is the Class 1 master. A class 2 master would allow a configuration device to connect but would not take ownership of the polled communication. AMS DM uses a class 2 master to connect and read HART data from PA devices.
