Hello everyone,
I have a project where I am configuring a Siemens protection relay (IED, Profibus DP Slave) in a SCADA system (Zenon, Profibus DP Master), and I am having a problem to understand how the data will be addressed exactly. I came to know that GSD files must be imported to the SCADA software in order to configure the data, is this all I have to do? or some kind of configuration must be done in the IED (the slave)?
I was trying to figure this out comparing it to the Modbus protocol, where previously all I had to do was referring the IED manuals to find the Registers mapping tables and address the data in the Master device accordingly, is it the same here?
Thanks in advanced.
