PROFIBUS – SCANport Adapter

Appendix A : Device Specific Hints 
A.1  SMC Dialogue Plus 
The SMC Dialogue Plus does not support Datalinks, therefore the configuration of SW2-
7 and 8 should not include any of the Datalinks Enabled. If a Datalink is enabled, the 
SCANport Status LED will toggle, indicating an error in the SCANport communications. 
The version of SMC which was tested (Rev 1.05) had 88 parameters. The 1560-PDP is 
able to read 32 of the parameters out of the SMP3 unit. 
A.2  SMP 3 
The SMP3 does not support Datalinks, therefore the configuration of Datalinks should 
not include any of the Datalinks Enabled. If a Datalink is enabled, the SCANport Status 
LED will toggle, indicating an error in the SCANport communications. The 1560-PDP is 
able to read 32 of the parameters out of the SMP3 unit. 
A.3  Variable Speed Drives 
In order to enable Frequency control from the 1560-PDP, the drive parameter 
FREQUENCY SELECT 2 must be configured for the appropriate Adapter ID 
representing the 1560-PDP module. This will normally be Adaptor #2, unless a 
SCANport expander is being used (in which case this Adaptor number will be based on 
the port the 1560-PDP is plugged into). 
Setting up the Adaptor I/O - Datalinks Out 
Selects the parameter values which will be made available from the 1560-PDP 
via Global Data Out. Placement of the values in the 1560-PDP is referenced in

Setting up the Adaptor I/O - Data In 
Selects the parameters which will be made accessible for configuration/ writing 
from the 1560-PDP. As with the Data Out parameters, there are eight possible 
selections. These may be chosen by the programmer to meet the needs of the 
application.
