■ Incorporating a VLT 5000 Profibus into a

Siemens Simatic S7-315-2 DP PLC system
This document is an instruction which will help you
to incorporate a VLT 5000 with a Profibus card into
a Siemens Simatic S7-315-2 DP PLC system. Only
the steps which are required in order to establish
communication between the VLT 5000 Profibus and
the Simatic S7-315-2 DP PLC are shown. It is
assumed that you are already familiar with the
Simatic S7 system. In this instruction, the STEP 7
software version 5.0 is used.
■ Step 1 Install GSD/GSE file

First step is to import the GSD/GSE of VLT 5000
into Siemens S7 Manager. S7 Manager requires a
GSD/GSE file for every DP slave on a Profibus
network.
In the VLT 5000 GSD/GSE file all the properties of
our DP slave are described in a database. The file
can be ordered from your local Danfoss represen-
tative.
Start a new project and click on Simatic 300
station. Now double click on Hardware.
In Hardware the Profibus DP network is
configurated.

■ Step 1 Install GSD/GSE file The "Hardware Catalog" must be updated before
Go to Option and choose Install New GSE to read in the VLT 5000 GSD/GSE file is active. Go to Option
VLT 5000 GSD/GSE to the "Hardware Catalog". and choose Update Catalog.
The VLT 5000 GSD/GSE file is now available under
the following path:
■ Step 2 Insert the VLT 5000

Insert the VLT 5000 by double clicking on the VLT
5000.

■ Step 3 PPO type ■ Step 4 Address

Insert the VLT 5000 by double clicking on the VLT Next is the setting of the VLT 5000 address. The
5000. Chose a PPO type and click on OK. choice here must correspond to the setting in
parameter 918 Station address.
The choice here must correspond to the setting in

parameter 904 PPO type.
Module consistent data means that all the data
exchange between the master and slave is transfer
at one time. By Word consistent the data exchange
between the master and slave is split up in words.
The first 4 words of PPO type 1, type 2 and type 5
consist of a PCA part (Parameter Characteristic) and
this is always module consistent.

■ Step 5 I/O mapping

The VLT 5000 can now be seen on the Profibus
network.
Select an I/O address in your Simatic S7 PLC.

By double clicking the first module (4AX in the DP-
Slave) in the Slave Station, you can either select the
address in the Simatic S7 PLC or use the default
addresses.
In this example we have chosen the start address
to be 256 dec. for PPO type 1 for communication
with VLT 5000.

■ Step 5 I/O mapping

Now your system is set up to use the PPO1
communication and the following information is
available in the Simatic S7-315-2 DP PLC:
Parameter Characteristic (PCA), i.e. read Process data, i.e write a Control word and Reference
an write to parameters. and receiving a Status word and Main Actual Value.
4AX 2AX
PCA IND PVA PVA CTW MRV
PAW 256 PAW 258 PAW 260 PAW 262 PAW 264 PAW 266
4AX 2AX
PCA IND PVA PVA STW MAV
PEW 256 PEW 258 PEW 260 PEW 262 PEW 264 PEW 266
The Simatic S7-315-2 DP System can only send

and receive up to 4 bytes of I/O without special
commands.
The first module (4AX) cannot be handled without
System Functions Call (SFCs), see example on the
next page. The System Functions Calls are SFC 14
for recieving data from a slave and SFC 15 for
writing data to a slave.
The second module (2AX) can be handled without
the use of SFCs.
■ Step 6 Downloading
Set the PLC in stop with the key on the PLC
processor and download the program. Please note
that the VLT frequency converter will show Warning
34 HPFB communication fault while the PLC is in
Stop mode.
Before the PLC can be set in RUN mode ensure

that the following VLT parameter corresponding to
the program:
Par. 800 Protocol: Profibus DP [1]
Par. 801 Baud rate: According to the Master
Par. 904 PPO type: According to the Master
Par. 918 Station address: According to the Master
Note that a change of the above parameters are

first executed at next power up. If the two LED's on the VLT 5000 Profibus card not
are solid green the fault could be:
After the download of the PLC program the two - Wrong parameter setting in the above mention list
LED 1 and LED 2 on the Profibus card should be according to the master.
solid green when the key on the S7 master is set in - After changing the Profibus parameters the power
RUN. This indicate that the master and slave is hasn't been recycle.
communicating. - Wrong cable connection, check the cable by the
master and the VLT 5000.

■ Example of how to programme the Simatic S7-

315-2 DP
Danfoss provides a small demo program. This demo
program (ARJ File) can be loaded to your system
and downloaded to your Simatic S7-315-2 DP PLC
system.
The program copies information from DB11.0 -
DB11.6 to PAW 256 -262 and from PEW 256 - 262
to DB10.0 - DB10.6.
By using the above program, the following

information can be found on these PLC Addresses:
4AX 2AX
PCA IND PVA PVA CTW MRV
DBW10.0 DBW10.2 DBW10.4 DBW10.6 PAW 264 PAW 266
4AX 2AX
PCA IND PVA PVA STW MAV
DBW11.0 DBW11.2 DBW11.4 DBW11.6 PEW 264 PEW 266
In order to control the VLT 5000 from the Profibus

only, set parameter 502 - 509 for Serial. If reversing
is required, set also parameter 200 for 132Hz Both
directions.
