Changing the Target of a Device

As of Automation Builder 1.2, Hilscher will discontinue the support of the current PROFIBUS Communication Module CM572-DP.

In Automation Builder, you can update CM572-DP to CM592-DP. Automation Builder will preserve the protocol specific configuration after device update.

Alternatively, you can copy the existing PROFIBUS protocol configuration to any new PROFIBUS device, e.g. from CM572-DP to CM592-DP or vice versa. Also the CM592-DP module of the AC31-Adapter is supported.

Update CM572-DP to CM592-DP

To update CM572-DP device to a CM592-DP, proceed as follows:

• Right-click CM572-DP node in the device tree and select Update objects.
• From the dialog select the CM592-DP device and select Update objects.
• Rename the node to CM592-DP.

Automation_Builder configuration will be preserved after the device update.

Copy protocols between PROFIBUS devices

An existing PROFIBUS protocol configuration can be copied to any other PROFIBUS device, e.g. from a CM572-DP device to a CM592-DP device. For this, right-click the device node to be transferred and click copy. Right-click the device node to be changed and click paste.

Automation_Builder configuration of CM592-DP is changed.
