The FM 458-1 DP is configured using the well-known software tools STEP 7 and CFC (Continuous Function Chart) which are also used to program the SIMATIC S7-400.
CFC is an intuitive Windows-based program that is easy to learn. The CFC has been expanded to include the function blocks and the optimized operating system using the D7-SYS add-on software package.
If an EXM 448 is to be used as PROFIBUS DP master, the associated bus parameters must be calculated using the COM PROFIBUS PC program and downloaded to the EXM 448. Parameterization with COM PROFIBUS is not required when using as DP slave.
The optional EXM 448 communication expansion permits fast communication between the FM 458-1 DP basic module and drives, ET 200 stations or other components.
