I'm using CP5711 card to connect my PB device what should be the parameter in this case ?
The CP5711 is not supported by pyprofibus.
You could use a PCI(e) card with serial port + RS485 converter and use COM1, COM2, etc instead.
@mbuesch That was quick info, Thank you for your initiataive bringing PB to python world
did you mean following when you say PCI(e) card ? a CP 5611 ?

Communication processor CP 5611 A2
Communications processor CP 5611 A2 PCI card (32 bit; 3.3/5 V; 33/66MHz) to Connection of a PG or PC with PCI Bus to PROFIBUS or MPI
No, I'm talking about a standard PC serial port. That can be built into the PC (less common these days) or via cheap PCI card.
Such a RS232 port can be connected to Profibus via RS232->RS485 converter dongle.
It's not recommended to use USB->RS232 dongles.
None of the Siemens CP devices is supported by pyprofibus.
