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.
