Technology CPU: Configuring PROFIBUS DP (DRIVE) 
1. After selecting the Technology CPU, the "Properties - PROFIBUS interface DP(DRIVE) 
(R0/S3.1)" dialog box will be displayed. Click the "New" button to create a new 
PROFIBUS network there. 
2. In the "Network settings" tab of the "PROFIBUS Properties" dialog, set the following 
properties: 
–  Highest PROFIBUS address: 2 
The setting of the highest PROFIBUS address should correspond to the highest 
address of an active PROFIBUS node. This setting reduces the PROFIBUS time to 
search for a new active PROFIBUS node. 
–  Transmission rate: 12 Mbps 
This transmission rate permits the largest possible data throughput on the PROFIBUS. 
Pay attention, however, to the maximum transmission rate of the CP in the 
programming device. If the value is set too large, access to the CPU will no 
longer be possible. 
–  Profile: "User-defined" 
The "user-defined" setting is required, when a message frame extension with 
BICO wiring is required in addition to the standard message frames.
