3 Solution overview
Below you find an overview of the system configuration that is described in this document.
Other nodes may be attached to the network, but are not necessary. Since this application note is for
NetTool for Profibus, only the Profibus configuration will be explained.

4 Hardware Settings
In this particularly case we are using an X-gateway PROFIBUS-DP Master together with an Anybus
PROFIBUS Communicator.
4.1 Slave settings
The address setting is done with the two rotary switches on the Anybus Communicator module and on the
Siemens ET 200S on a dip switch.
The address is set to #2 for the Anybus Communicator and to #3 for the Siemens ET 200S in this example.
4.2 Hardware configuration
In order to configure the bus it is necessary to set up the master hardware first. In this example we are using
an Anybus X-gateway with Profibus master.
4.2.1 Configuring the master module
Start by creating a new configuration. Drag and drop the Anybus-M DPV to the new configuration.
Figure 2 Install the Anybus-M DPV
Double click on the Anybus-M DPV and select the desired settings.

Configure the amount of I/O data for the Anybus-C PDP. Be sure to use the same amount of I/O as used in
the configuration made in the ABC config tool.
Figure 6 Anybus-C PDP I/O data
It is possible to change Input and Output addresses, by double clicking on the different slots.
It is necessary to import the file siem80f3.gsd to the NetTool in order to include the Siemens ET 200S as a
slave in the network. The GSD files for the Anybus modules are already included in NetTool for Profibus.

4.2.4 Configuring the Transport Path
At this point the configuration of the network is completed and ready for download to the master. To do this
the Transport Path has to be configured.
Note: To be able to download the configuration using the X-gateway it is necessary to change the operation
mode to Stop. Open the configuration menu and select 9 Change operation mode. Set the operation mode to
stop.
Figure 1 Changing the operation mode to Stop.
There are several ways to download the configuration.
Serial driver: Using the serial port on the Anybus-M the serial driver can be used. The X-gateway can also
be configured using the serial driver if connected to the master interface configuration port.
Ethernet driver: In the case with the Anybus X-gateway with Ethernet interface the Ethernet driver can be
used.
PCI driver: For the Anybus PCI also the PCI driver can be used.
4.2.5 Serial connection
Figure 2 Configuring the Serial Transport path.
Open the Serial tab and click on create. Select the COM-port path as shown below.

In the following dialogue window enter the desired name of the Transport Path and select the COM-port.
After configuring these settings the slot in the Anybus X-gateway has to be selected. The upper slot is where
the power connection is located.
Figure 4 Configuring the Slot and Timeout time.
4.2.6 Ethernet connection
If using the Ethernet connection to configure the gateway use the Parallel Transport Path instead.
Note: To be able to use the Ethernet Transport Path the following is required:
• Install NetTool Profibus version 3.1.1.1 or later on the PC
• Install Anybus Ethernet Transport Provider version 2.1.0.0 or later on the PC
• Make sure that the X-gateway firmware version is 3.02.3 or later
Step 1: In NetTool Profibus – select Online -> Driver Selection.
Figure 5 Opening the Configure Driver menu.
Step 2: Select Parallel and press the “Create button in the “Transport Paths” dialog.
Figure 6 Creating a new Transport Path.

Step 3: Select the “Ethernet Transport Provider” and press OK. Then give the path a good name, e.g. My
Ethernet transport path and press OK again.
Figure 7 Selecting the Ethernet Transport Provider.
Figure 8 Naming the new Transport Path.
Step 4: If the IP-address of the gateway is in the same subnet-range as your PC, the gateway will
automatically appear in the list shown in the “Ethernet Configuration” dialog. Mark the ABX-ETH and press
ok. If nothing is shown in the list, proceed to Step 5.

Step 5:
Use the Anybus IPconfig utility to identify or edit the IP address of the X-gateway. Clicking on the button
will start Anybus IPconfig tool.
Figure 10 Scanning the network for Anybus modules.
The Anybus module will appear in the list and the IP settings can be modified by double-clicking the desired
IP-address in the list.
Figure 11 Configuring the IP-address.
Click SET to apply the settings. Note that a valid IP-address setting is within the same subnet range as the
PC you are using. If your PC has the address 192.168.0.24 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 then the
gateway needs to use any free address within 192.168.0.X.

Step 6: The X-gateway with it’s IP address should appear automatically under the ”Remote Hosts” tab, if the
IP settings were made correctly.
Figure 12 Browsing the connected gateway.
A network scan can also be forced by entering the X-gateway IP address and pressing the button “Query
Host”. Clicking on the button will refresh the list under Remote Hosts.

4.2.7 PCI driver
When using the Anybus PCI also the PCI driver can be used. Select the Anybus PCI Transport Provider or
click on create to make a new Transport Path. Make sure to select the PCI Transport Path if creating a new.

5 Gateway configuration
After the Profibus-DPV1 Master and the Profibus network has been configured in NetTool for Profibus and
downloaded, the gateway itself has to be configured. Use the HyperTerminal on the PC and connect a null
modem cable between the com port and the gateway’s config port. Use the following settings.
Figure 13 Configuring the connection in the HyperTerminal.
The following menu will appear.
Figure 11 Anybus X-gateway Main menu
Choosing 6 from the main menu will access the configuration of the gateway.
Note: The default setting in the X-gateway is that it will reboot every time the on-line connection over
Ethernet is broken. This setting can be changed in the X-gateway configuration interface. Use a null-modem
cable and connect the X-gateway config port to the PC. Start a Hyper Terminal session using the settings
57600 Bites per second, 8 Data bits, None Parity, 1 Stop bit and None Flow Control. Connect to the X-
gateway and enter the configuration interface. Press 6 to enter the “Change configuration” dialog. Click enter
until you get to the “Reboot after disconnection” parameter and then change this setting to “Disabled”. Press

Enter and answer Yes to the following questions. The gateway will now continue to run without interruption
after an online session in NetTool Profibus.

6 Testing
Connect the units that should be part of the Profibus network and power up.
When clicking on the on Monitor/modify button, there should be a green frame around the slaves, as shown
in the picture below, to indicate that there is communication established with all slaves. Note: The Anybus
communicator has to have a configuration that corresponds with the NetTool configuration of the Anybus
communicator, i.e. the I/O sizes have to match.
Figure 12 Online
It is also possible to double click on the master, to ensure that the slaves are ok. See picture below.
