Profibus

Hi all, Where i work we have 20 Honeywell frequency drives all conected by profibus to a Siemens S7-300 PLC. My question is how do i, if i can, pull infomation from the drives into the PLC? Many thanks in advance.

Look in the manual for the Honeywell device, it should give you a list of the data it is sharing onto the network. Or where the data is in the device so you can go read it from the CPU.

I remember that all drives (connected by Profibus) follow the same profile: PROFIDRIVE. It's sure, your drive's documentation contain all information. Ciao

Hi, It is very easy to connect all of your drives in profibus network, first get the GSD files from Honeywell and update in the S7 catgalogue and then install profibus network in the hardware configuration and assign node and data addresses, you will be able to read and write all parameters.
