Abstract
A method of restoring a profibus configuration according to an embodiment includes receiving a configuration restoration command by the configuration restoration device of a profibus network system; receiving a binary image from the master device of the profibus network system by the configuration restoration device; creating restoration information including at least one of the configuration information of the profibus network system, the basic information of the slave device associated with the master device, and user configuration information from the binary image by the configuration restoration device; and outputting the created restoration information. The configuration of a profibus network may be restored from the master device by using this.
Claims13
A method of restoring a profibus configuration, comprising:
- receiving a configuration restoration command by a configuration restoration device of a profibus network system;
- receiving a binary image from a master device of the profibus network system by the configuration restoration device;
- creating restoration information including at least one of configuration information of the profibus network system, basic information of a slave device associated with the master device, or user configuration information from the binary image by the configuration restoration device;
- and
- outputting the created restoration information,
- wherein the binary image comprises data encoded on at least one of the basic information of the slave device, the user configuration information, or the configuration information of the profibus network system, wherein
- the configuration restoration device decodes the encoded data.
A profibus network system comprising:
- a configuration logic processor creating a binary image that includes at least one of basic information for allowing a master device to control a slave device, configuration information of the profibus network system, or user configuration information;
- a communication processor receiving the binary image from the configuration logic processor and processing data to transmit the data to the master device;
- a master device receiving the binary image from the communication processor and being driven according to the binary image to control the slave device;
- and
- a configuration restoration device receiving the binary image from the master device and creating restoration information to restore the configuration of the master device,
- wherein the binary image comprises data encoded on at least one of the basic information of the slave device, the user configuration information, or the configuration information of the profibus network system and,
- wherein the configuration logic processor comprises a GSD input unit receiving GSD information including the basic information, and a user input unit receiving the user configuration information, and encodes at least one of the GSD information, the user configuration information, or the configuration information of the profibus network system into the binary image, and
- wherein the configuration restoration device decodes the binary image.
