105U/905U-G-PR1 Profibus Slave
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to illustrate an application setup using a Siemens S7–
300 PLC communicating via Profibus to an Elpro 105U/905U-G-PR1 module.
BACKGROUND
The 105U/905U-G-PR1 acts as a Profibus DP Slave - the network host a Siemens S7–
300 PLC is a Profibus Master. If using is a 105U/905U-G with a PLC, the PLC will require
an Anybus GSD file so it can recognize the Profibus interface in the 105U/905U-G. This
file loads into the PLC. The file is available on the same CD as the configuration software
or from the Elpro web page www.elprotech.com
Configuration of the Profibus data bus comprises of allocating a Profibus Slave address
to the
905G and configuring links between the I/O registers and the Profibus bytes in the
Anybus Interface module.

APPLICATION
This application should be read in conjunction with the 105U/905U/105S and the
105U/905U-G User Manuals, this provides extensive details on hardware setup and
configuration of the 105U/905U Radio’s. It is expected the reader have a firm
understanding of both the S7 Simatic software tool and the E-Series Configuration Utility.
To view the Elpro configuration save the file Profibus e-series config example .zip to a
folder on your PC. Open the E-series configuration utility build 148 or higher, select file/
restore project and locate the zip file saved on PC, select ok leaving Project Name blank.
This will extract the files into this folder and load the configuration into the utility program.
To review E-Series Fieldbus Configuration, highlight “Fieldbus Config” as below.
Area PLC reads from
Area PLC writes to
The first Fieldbus mapping is a write bytes command for an I/O count of 4 from I/O
registers 0,1,2,3. The PLC will read from Fieldbus location 0 for a count of 4 bytes. I/O
registers 0,1,2,3 will have values that remote modules will have had mapped to. i.e. A
level from remote module will send to I/O register 0 which is then Fieldbus mapped to a
location for the PLC to read from.
The second Fieldbus mapping is the area that the PLC will write to. There are separate
IN and OUT Fieldbus areas in the Gateway as to why you can see the same Fieldbus
location address.

Drag ANYBUS-S PDP folder in route directory and to Profibus (1): DP master system (1)
line and enter address 1. Note this Address 1 needs to be the same address entered
in the E-series configuration under Fieldbus Config.
Screen will show (1) ANYBUS connected to Profibus (1): DP master system (1) line and
ANYBUS-S PDP object addressing menu at the bottom.
Drag IN/OUT 4 byte into Slot 1,
Input PLC addresses I: 256 to I: 259 are written to ANYBUS registers location 0, 1, 2, 3 -
IN Area.
The Output PLC addresses Q: 256 to Q259 are read from ANYBUS register location 0, 1,
2, 3 – OUT Area.
