The Beckhoff bus terminal system
The bus terminal system is the universal connecting link between a
fieldbus system and the sensor/actor level. A unit consists of a bus coupler,
which is the interface to the fieldbus, and up to 64 electronic terminals, of
which the last is an end terminal. Terminals, each with two I/O channels,
are available for any form of technical signal and can be combined as
desired. The various types of terminal are all constructed in the same way,
so that the planning costs are kept extremely low. The height and depth of
the construction are calculated for compact terminal cabinets.
Fieldbus technology makes it possible to use compact control
architectures. The I/O level does not need to be taken right up to the
control unit. Sensors and actors can be connected decentrally with minimal
lengths of cable. You can position the control unit at any convenient
location in the installation. Using an industrial PC as control unit makes it
possible to implement the operating and monitoring element as part of the
control hardware, so the control unit can be located on an operating desk,
control point or similar. The bus terminals constitute the decentralized
input/output level of the control unit in the switch cabinet and its
subordinate terminal cabinets. As well as the sensor/actor level, the power
unit of the equipment is also controlled via the bus system. The bus
terminal replaces a conventional terminal as the cabling level in the switch
cabinet; the switch cabinet can be made smaller.
The Beckhoff bus terminal system combines the advantages of a bus
system with the functionality of compact terminals. Bus terminals can be
used on all current bus systems and serve to reduce the diversity of parts
in the control unit, while behaving like the conventional standard units for
the relevant bus system and supporting the entire range of functionality of
the bus system.
The simple and compact assembly on a standard C rail, and the direct
cabling of actors and sensors without cross connections between the
terminals, serve to standardize the installation, as does the uniformly
designed labeling.
The small size and great flexibility of the bus terminal system mean that
you can use it anywhere that you could use a terminal and use any type of
connection – analog, digital, serial or direct sensors.
The modular construction of the terminal row, using bus terminals with
various functions, limits the number of unused channels to at most one per
function. Two channels to a terminal is the optimum solution for the number
of unused channels and the cost per channel. The possibility of using
power input terminals to provide separate power supplies also helps to
minimize the number of unused channels.
The integrated light-emitting diodes close to the sensor/actor indicate the
status of each channel.
The K-bus is the path taken by data within the terminal row. The bus
coupler carries the K bus through all the terminals by means of six contacts
on the side walls of the terminals, and the end terminal terminates the K
bus. The user does not need to know anything about the function of the K
bus or the internal operation of terminals and bus couplers. There are
numerous software tools available which provide for convenient planning,
configuration and operation.

Power input terminals
for
separately powered groups
Three power contacts pass the operating power to the following terminals.
You can use power input terminals to subdivide the terminal row as desired
into groups, each with a separate power supply. These power input
terminals are not taken into account for addressing the terminals, you can
insert them at any position along the terminal row.
You can install up to 64 terminals on a terminal row, including power input
terminals and the end terminal.

Basic information
Bus couplers for various
fieldbus systems
You can use a variety of bus couplers to attach the electronic terminal row
quickly and easily to the various fieldbus systems, and you can also
subsequently convert to a different fieldbus system. The bus coupler deals
with all the necessary monitoring and control tasks for operating the
attached bus terminals, indeed all the operation and configuration of the
bus terminals is carried out via the bus coupler. The fieldbus, K bus and I/O
level are electrically isolated.
If the exchange of data across the fieldbus is temporarily interrupted, logic
states are preserved, digital outputs are cleared and analog outputs revert
to a reset value which can be individually configured for each output when
the equipment is set up.

Power supply
The bus couplers need an operating power of 24 V DC which is connected
via the topmost spring terminals, labeled "24 V” and "0 V”. This power
supply serves not only the electronic components of the bus coupler but
(via the K bus) also the bus terminals. The power supply of the bus coupler
circuitry and that of the K-bus (Terminal bus) are electrically isolated from
the voltage of the field level.
The LC3100 bus coupler is supplied via the two central terminal pairs. The
power contacts pass the supply voltage on to the field level.
Power supply to the power contacts
The six lower connections with spring terminals can be used to supply
power to the peripherals. The spring terminals are connected in pairs to the
power contacts. The power supply to the power contacts has no
connection to the power supply of the bus couplers. The power input is
designed to permit voltages up to 24 V. The pair-wise arrangement and the
electrical connection between the feed terminal contacts makes it possible
to loop through the wires connecting to different terminal points. The load
on the power contact may not continuously exceed 10 A. The current
capacity between two spring terminals is the same as the capacity of the
connecting wires.
Power contacts
On the right-hand side face of the bus coupler are three spring contacts
which are the power connections. The spring contacts are recessed in slots
to prevent them from being touched. When a bus terminal is connected,
the blade contacts on the left-hand side of the bus terminal are connected
to the spring contacts. The slot and key guides at the top and bottom of the
bus couplers and bus terminals ensure reliable location of the power
contacts.
Fieldbus connection
There is a recessed front face on the left hand side. The typical Profibus
connecting plug can be inserted here. A full description of the fieldbus
interfaces is found elsewhere in this manual. (In the section on The
Medium: Plugs and Cables)
The plugs for the optical fibres are 2 HP Simplex plugs that are inserted
into the sockets. The two required plugs are included.
In the LC3100 bus coupler the bus is connected directly at the upper
terminal pair.
Configuration interface
On the lower part of the front face you will find the standard bus couplers
which are fitted with an RS232 interface. The miniature plug can be
attached to a PC by means of a connection cable and the configuration
software KS2000. This interface enables you to configure the analog
channels. You can also access the functionality of the configuration
interface via the fieldbus by means of the PLC interface communications.

K-bus contacts
The connections between the bus coupler and the bus terminals are
effected by gold contacts at the right-hand side of the bus coupler. When
the bus terminals are plugged together, these gold contacts automatically
complete the connection to the bus terminals. The K bus is responsible for
the power supply to the electronic components of the K bus in the bus
terminals, and for the exchange of data between the bus coupler and the
bus terminals. Part of the data exchange takes place via a ring structure
within the K bus. Disengaging the K bus, for example by pulling on one the
bus terminals, will break this circuit so that data can no longer be
exchanged. However, there are mechanisms in place which enable the bus
coupler to locate the interruption and report it.
Supply isolation
The bus couplers operate with three independent supplies. The input
power supplies the electrically isolated K-bus circuitry in the bus coupler
and the K-bus itself. The power supply is also used to generate the
operating power for the fieldbus.
Note: All the bus terminals are electrically isolated from the K bus, so that
the K-bus is completely electrically isolated.

Start-up behavior of the bus
coupler
The operating modes of the bus coupler
When it is first switched on the bus coupler carries out a self-test to check
the functions of its components and the communications of the K bus, and
while this is going on the red I/O LED will flash. When the self-test has
been completed successfully, the bus coupler will begin to test the
attached bus terminals (the "bus terminal test”) and read in the
configuration from which it constructs an internal structure list, which is not
accessible from outside. If an error occurs the bus coupler will enter the
operating mode "STOP”. If the start-up sequence is completed without
errors the bus coupler will enter the mode "fieldbus start”.

Mechanical construction
The Beckhoff bus terminal system is remarkable for its compact
construction and high degree of modularity. When you design the
installation you will need to plan for one bus coupler and some number of
bus terminals. The dimensions of the bus couplers do not depend on the
fieldbus system. If you use large plugs, for example like some of the bus
plugs used for the Profibus, they may protrude above the overall height of
the cabinet.

Maximum number of

The overall width of the construction is the width of the bus coupler,
including the bus end terminal, plus the width of the installed bus terminals.
The bus terminals are 12 mm or 24 mm wide, depending on their function.
The LC3100 has a width of 21 mm and the terminals then follow, as on the
coupler.Depending on the gauge of cables used the overall height of 68
mm may be overstepped by about 5 mm to 10 mm by the cables at the
front.
It takes only a slight pressure to latch the bus coupler and the various bus
terminals onto a supporting 35mm C rail and a locking mechanism then
prevents the individual housings from being removed. You can remove
them without effort if you first release the latching mechanism by pulling the
orange tab. You should carry out work on the bus terminals and the bus
coupler only while they are switched off: if you plug or unplug components
while the power is on you may briefly provoke some undefined state (and,
for instance, reset the bus coupler).
You can attach up to 64 bus terminals in series on the right-hand side of
the bus coupler. When you assemble the components, make sure that you
mount the housings so that each slot comes together with the
corresponding key. You cannot make any functional connections merely by
pushing the housings together along the supporting track. When they are
correctly mounted there should be no appreciable gap between the
adjacent housings.
The right-hand side of a bus coupler is mechanically similar to a bus
terminal. There are eight connections on the top which can be used to
12 BK3xxx/LC3100
Basic information
Insulation test
PE power contacts
connect to thick-wire or thin-wire lines. The connection terminals are spring
loaded. You open a spring terminal by applying a slight pressure with a
screwdriver or other pointed tool in the opening above the terminal and you
can then insert the wire into the terminal without any obstruction. When you
release the pressure the terminal will automatically close and hold the wire
securely and permanently.
The connection between bus couplers and bus terminals is automatically
effected by latching the components together. The K bus is responsible for
passing data and power to the electronic components of the bus terminals.
In the case of digital bus terminals, the field logic receives power via the
power contacts. Latching the components together has the effect that the
series of power contacts constitutes a continuous power track. Please refer
to the circuit diagrams of the bus terminals: some bus terminals do not loop
these power contacts through, or not completely (e.g. analog bus terminals
or 4-channel digital bus terminals). Each power input terminal interrupts the
series of power contacts and constitutes the beginning of a new track. The
bus coupler can also be used to supply power to the power contacts.
The power contact labeled "PE” can be used as protective earth or ground.
This contact stands proud for safety reasons and can carry short-circuit
currents of up to 125A. Note that in the interests of electromagnetic
compatibility the PE contacts are capacitively connected to the supporting
track. This may lead to spurious results and even damage to the terminal
when you test the insulation (e.g. insulation test for breakdown using a
230V mains supply to the PE line). You should therefore disconnect the PE
line on the bus coupler while you carry out insulation tests. You can
disconnect other power supply points for the duration of the test by drawing
the power supply terminals out from the remaining row of terminals by at
least 10mm. If you do this, there will be no need to disconnect the PE
connections.
The protective earth power contact ("PE”) may not be used for any other
connections.

Basic information
Electrical data
The Profibus couplers differ by virtue of their capacity levels and maximum
baud rates. The BK30xx variants are capable of supporting up to 1.5
MBaud and the LC3100 and BK31xx series support up to 12 Mbaud. The
electrical data specific to the fieldbus is given in this chapter. The following
data distinguishes between a standard and an economy variant (BK3x00
and BK3x10) and an low cost variant (LC3100). Compatability with the
Profibus is guaranteed in any case. Contrary to the standard bus coupler,
the economy variant is limited of the number of I/O´s. Thus, there is no
possibility of connecting inputs and outputs other than digital ones. The
following table lists an overview of all data:

Special signals and
interface
For operation of the K-bus electronics, the bus terminals require energy
from the K-bus that is supplied by the bus coupler. Refer to the catalog or
the corresponding data sheets of the bus terminals for details of the K-bus
current consumption. In doing so, pay attention to the maximum output
current of the bus coupler that is available for powering the bus terminals.
Using a special power supply terminal (KL9400), power can be fed back
into the K-bus at any chosen point. If you wish to use a power supply
terminal, please contact Beckhoff’s technical support. .
The peripheral data in the process image
When the bus coupler is first switched on it determines the configuration of
the attached input/output terminals and automatically assigns the physical
slots of the input/output channels to the addresses in the process image.
The bus coupler sets up an internal list of assignments in which each of the
input and output channels has a specific position in the process image. A
distinction is made here between input and output and between bit-oriented
(digital) and byte-oriented (analog, or complex) signal processing.
It also forms two groups, whereby one contains only inputs and the other
only outputs. In each group, the byte-oriented channels take the lowest
addresses, in ascending order, and these are then followed by the bitoriented channels.
Digital signals are bit-oriented. This means that one bit of the process
image is assigned to each digital channel. The bus coupler sets up a block
of memory containing the current input bits and arranges to immediately
write out the bits from a second block of memory which belongs to the
output channels.
The precise assignment of the input and output channels to the process
image of the control unit is explained in detail in the Appendix by means of
an example.
The processing of analog signals is always byte-oriented and analog input
and output values are stored in memory in a two-byte representation. The
values are held as "SIGNED INTEGER” or "twos-complement”. The digit
"0” represents the input/output value "0V”, "0mA” or "4mA”. When you use
the default settings, the maximum value of the input/output value is given
by "7FFF” hex. Negative input/output values, such as -10V, are
represented as "8000” hex and intermediate values are correspondingly
proportional to one another. The full range of 15-bit resolution is not
realized at every input/output level. If you have an actual resolution of 12
bits, the remaining three bits have no effect on output and are read as "0”
on input. Each channel also possesses a control and status byte in the
lowest value byte. If the control/status byte is mapped in the control unit
has to be configured in the master configuration software. An analog
channel is represented by 2 bytes user data in the process image.
A bus coupler supports bus terminals with additional interfaces, such as
RS232, RS485, incremental encoder, etc.. These signals can be regarded
in the same way as the analog signals described above. A 16-bit data
width may not be sufficient for all such special signals; the bus coupler can
support any data width.

Default assignment of
inputs and outputs to the
process image
When the bus coupler is first switched on it determines the number of
attached bus terminals and sets up a list of assignments. This list
distinguishes between analog channels and digital channels and between
input and output; which are grouped separately. The assignments begin
immediately to the left of the bus coupler. The software in the bus coupler
creates the assignment list by collecting the entries for the individual
channels one at a time, counting from left to right. These assignments
distinguish four groups:

Data consistency Data which contains no contradictions is said to be consistent. The
following consistency is required here: 1. The high byte and low byte of an
analog value (word consistency), 2. The control/status byte and the
corresponding parameter word for accessing the register. The interaction
of the peripherals with the control unit means that data can initially be
guaranteed consistent only within an individual byte: the bits which make
up a byte are read in together, or written out together. Byte-wise
consistency is quite adequate for processing digital signals but is not
sufficient for transferring values longer than eight bits, such as analog
values. The various bus systems guarantee consistency to the required
length. It is important to use the appropriate procedure for importing this
consistent data from the master bus system to the control unit. You will find
a detailed description of the correct procedure in the User Guide of the
appropriate bus system, in particular in the description of the standard
master units that are installed. The chapters of this manual which deal with
the fieldbus refer to the most common of these standard units.
Processing complex signals
All byte-oriented signal channels such as RS232, RS485 and incremental
encoder, can use byte lengths greater than two. Apart from the actual
difference in length, the procedure is always comparable with that for
analog signals. In the configuration software for the bus masters of the
second generation (from around 09.96), the corresponding channel can be
selected directly from the "GSD file". The configuration software
automatically ensures the settings for maintaining data consistency.

After switching on, the bus coupler immediately checks the connected
configuration. Error-free start-up is signalled by extinction of the red LED
“I/O ERR“. If the “I/O ERR” LED blinks, an error in the area of the terminals
is indicated. The error code can be determined from the frequency and
number of blinks. This permits rapid rectification of the error.
The diagnostic LEDs
The bus coupler has two groups of LEDs for the display of status. The
upper group with four LEDs indicates the status of the respective field bus.
The significance of the “field bus status“ LED is explained in the relevant
sections of this manual - it conforms to conventional field bus displays.
On the upper right hand side of the bus couplers are two more green LEDs
that indicate the supply voltage. The left hand LED indicates the 24 V
supply of the bus coupler. The right hand LED signals the supply to the
power contacts.
Local errors
Two LEDs, the “I/O” LEDs, in the area below the field bus status LEDs
referred to above, serve to indicate the operating status of the bus
terminals and the connections to these terminals. The green LED lights up
in order to indicate fault-free operation. The red LED blinks with two
different frequencies in order to indicate an error. The error is encoded in
the blinks as follows:

The number of flashes corresponds to the position of the last bus terminal
before the error, not counting passive bus terminals such as power input
terminals.
The bus coupler will carry on flashing the error code even when you have
cleared the fault and its operating mode will remain at "Stop”. The only way
to restart the bus coupler is by switching the power supply off and on
again.
You should not plug or unplug bus terminals from the series without first
turning off the power. The circuitry of the bus terminals and the bus coupler
is largely protected against damage, but if you modify the assembly while it
is under power, malfunctions and damage cannot be ruled out.
If a fault occurs during normal operation, the error code will not be output
on the LEDs until the bus coupler has been requested to diagnose the bus
terminals. This diagnostic request is generated after the equipment is
switched on.
The fieldbus status LEDs indicate the current operating mode of the
fieldbus. The functions of the Profibus are shown by the LEDs "RUN”, "BF”
and "DIA”; the fourth LED has no significance.
Please note that there is an association between the green I/O LED and
the fieldbus. The I/O LED lights up when access is made to the internal K
bus. The green I/O LED is not lit until data begins to be exchanged via the
fieldbus, because the Profibus initiates a new data exchange on the K bus
each time it accesses the bus coupler, which means that the fieldbus has
to access the bus coupler.
The bus coupler does, however, interrogate the configuration of the bus
terminals after power on and does not exchange any data with the
terminals. That is to say, the red I/O LED goes off after an error-free start
up without the green I/O LED having to light up. Then, the green I/O LED
does not light up until data exchange is begun via the field bus.
If a terminal bus error occurs during operation, the procedure followed
conforms to the reaction to the terminal bus errors parameterisation. If the
terminal bus error already occurs during start up, the slave does not
assume DP data transfer (Diag remains set).

Transfer of the signals from the input to the controller and from the
controller to the outputs requires a run time. This is composed of various
components. Transfer from the controller to the master, transfer through
the Profibus and transfer from the bus coupler to the outputs. This applies
analogously to the return distance.

The PROFIBUS enjoys a very wide acceptance in automation technology
due to its openness and its wide manufacturer-independent distribution.
The PROFIBUS was developed in the course of a group project on the
fieldbus concept which aimed at agreeing on a standard. Numerous
different products are now available from independent manufacturers
which all conform to the standard DIN 19245 parts 1 and 2. Standardsconform PROFIBUS devices can be operated on any bus system.
PROFIBUS specifies the technical and functional characteristics of a serial
fieldbus system which can be used to network distributed digital and
analog field automation devices with low range (sensor/actuator level) to
midrange performance (cell level). PROFIBUS makes a distinction
between master and slave devices; master devices are those which govern
the data traffic on the bus.
A master may send messages without an external request, provided it has
the authority to access the bus. The PROFIBUS protocol also describes
masters as "active subscribers”.
Slave devices are peripheral devices. Typical slave devices are sensors,
actors, signal transformers and the Beckhoff bus couplers BK3000,
BK3100, BK3110 and BK3010. They are not given authority to access the
bus, so they may only acknowledge the messages they receive, or pass
messages to a master when requested to do so. Slaves are also described
as "passive subscribers”. Beckhoff bus couplers are passive subscribers
which support PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS FMS. They are also
described as "FMS/DP combislaves”.
PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS DP is designed for rapid data exchange at sensor/actor level,
where centralized control devices (such as stored program control units)
communicate with decentralized input and output devices by means of a
fast serial connection. The exchange of data with these decentralized
devices is carried out predominantly cyclically. The centralized control unit
(master) reads the input data from the slaves and writes the output data to
the slaves, whereby the cycle time of the bus needs to be shorter than the
program cycle time of the central control unit, which will be under 10 ms in
many applications.
Rapid data throughput alone is not sufficient for the successful
implementation of bus system. Ease of handling, good diagnostic facilities
and fault-proof data transfer technology must all be provided in order to
fulfill the users’ requirements. The characteristics have been optimally
combined in PROFIBUS DP.
At a transfer rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (BK3000 and BK3010) PROFIBUS DP will
take 6 ms to transfer 512 bits of input data and 512 bits of output data
distributed to 32 subscribers, and at 12 Mbit/s (BK3100 and BK3110) less
than 2 ms. This fulfills the requirement for a fast system response time.
You can use PROFIBUS DP to implement mono-master or multi-master
systems, which gives you a high degree of flexibility as regards the system
configuration. Up to 126 miscellaneous devices (master or slaves) can be
attached to one bus. The bus couplers BK3xx0 permit you to select a
24 BK3xxx/LC3100
station address between 0 and 99. The quantities specified in the system
configuration include the number of stations, the assignments of station
addresses to I/O addresses, the consistency of the I/O data, the format to
be used for diagnostic messages and bus parameters that are to be used.
Each PROFIBUS DP system is made up of a number of different types of
device. We distinguish three types, depending on the tasks involved:
DP master class 1 (DPM1), for example such as a FC3101
This is a central control unit which exchanges information with the
decentralized stations (DP slaves) in a fixed message cycle. Typical
devices include stored program control units (SPS), numeric control units
(CNC) or robot control units (RC).
DP master class 2 (DPM2)
Devices of this type are programming, planning or diagnostic devices. They
are used to configure the DP system when the equipment is set up and
taken into service.
DP slave, such as the Profibus coupler BK3000
A DP slave is a peripheral device (sensor/actor), which reads in input
information and passes output information to the peripherals. Devices
which only input information, or only output information, are also possible.
Typical DP slaves are devices with binary I/O ports for 24V or 230V,
analog inputs, analog outputs, counters etc.. The volume of input and
output information depends on the individual device, up to a maximum of
244 bytes for input data and 244 bytes for output data. Due to cost factors,
and for technical and implementational reasons, many of the currently
available devices operate with a maximum data length of 32 bytes. The
Profibus coupler BK3000 can use the full length of 244 bytes, although the
master unit IM308-C restricts this to 52 bytes for input data. The IM308-B
enables you to use up to 122 bytes of input data.
In a mono-master system, only one master is active on the bus during the
operating phase of the bus system. The SPS control unit is die central
control element. The DP slaves are coupled to the SPS control unit
decentrally by means of the transfer medium. This system configuration
achieves the shortest bus cycle time.
In multi-master operation there are a number of masters on a single bus.
These either constitute independent subsystems, each consisting of one
DPM1 and the corresponding DP slaves or additional planning and
diagnostic devices. All the DP masters can read the input and output
mappings of the DP slaves. Although the output can be written by only one
DP master (namely the DPM1 which was appointed when the system was
specified). Multi-master systems achieve an average bus cycle time. If
timing is critical to your application you should connect up a diagnostic tool
to monitor increases in the bus cycle time.
Device master file (GSD)
The manufacturers of PROFIBUS DP provide users with documentation
covering the performance characteristics of the devices, in the form of a
device data sheet and a device master data file. The layout, content and
coding of this device master data (the GSD) are standardized. It facilitates
convenient project planning with any desired DP slaves using planning
devices from a variety of manufacturers. The PNO archives this information
for all manufacturers and will supply information on request about
manufacturers’ device master files.
PROFIBUS coupler BK3xx0 in the PROFIBUS DP
BK3xxx/LC3100 25
PROFIBUS coupler BK3xx0 in the PROFIBUS DP
A PROFIBUS master configuration program reads the DMF data and
transfers the appropriate settings to the master. You will find a description
of this in the relevant software manual supplied by the manufacturer of
your master.
Type file (200)
One of the most common and most user-friendly master units for an SPS is
Siemens’ IM308-C. The Windows software COMWIN is available for
configuring the master. The task of configuring this master unit for the
PROFIBUS is supported by the manufacturers’ documentation which
describes the performance characteristics of the slave devices. This is
supplied to users in the form of a type file. The same applies to the IM308B, although the software COMET200.COM provides a more modest
operating environment. The layout, content and coding of the type file are
Siemens-specific and are supported by Beckhoff, as by other
manufacturers. This file facilitates convenient project planning for any
desired DP slaves on a PC under the graphical user interface Windows
3.1. The PNO does not yet support all of this information, but will supply
information on request about manufacturers’ type files. Type files and
bitmaps are available for Beckhoff Profibus couplers.
Contact the mailbox 0 52 46 / 96 3 - 45 5, AREA 15 or via Internet

to download the type file or to order it on a diskette. The name of the file for
the IM308-B is "BK3000TE.200”, and the file for the IM308-C is called
"BK3000AE.200”. If you use German versions of COMET200.COM and
WINCOM.COM you should download the files "BK3000TD.200” and
"BK3000AD.200” respectively.
Diagnostic functions
The extensive diagnostic functions of PROFIBUS DP make it possible to
localize errors rapidly. The diagnostic messages are transferred via the bus
and collated by the master. They are subdivided into three levels:
Diagnostic type
Stationrelated
Modulerelated
Channelrelated
Messages dealing with the general operating condition of a
subscriber, such as overheating or low voltage
These messages indicate a diagnostic message is pending for
a subscriber within a particular I/O sub-area (e.g. 8-bit output
module)
This locates the cause of the error in an individual input/ output
bit (channel), such as: short circuit on output 2
The bus couplers BK3xx0 support the diagnostic functions of the
PROFIBUS DP. The manner in which the control unit evaluates the
diagnostic data depends on what support is given by the master. Please
refer to the device manual of your master units to see how to handle the
diagnostics. (Note for ET200U experts: the diagnostics is device-specific,
as for the ET200U; a module in the bus terminal enables you to evaluate
the diagnostics for a specific station and track it right down to an individual
channel in the bus terminal.)
Sync and Freeze Mode
In addition to the subscriber-related user data traffic, which DPM1 deals
with automatically, the DP master can also send control commands to an
individual DP slave, to a group, or to all of the slaves simultaneously; these
control commands are transferred as multicast functions. You can use
such control commands to impose the operating modes Sync and Freeze
to synchronize the DP slaves. This facility provides for an event-driven
synchronization of the slaves. They enter Sync mode when they receive a
Sync control command from their appointed DP master. In this operating
mode, the outputs from all the DP slaves are frozen in their current state. If
user data is subsequently transferred, the output data is stored at the DP
slaves, although the output status values remain unchanged. When the
next Sync control command is received from the master, the stored output
26 BK3xxx/LC3100
data is switched through to the outputs. The user can terminate Sync
operation by issuing an Unsync control command.
Similarly, a Freeze control command sends the addressed DP slaves into
Freeze mode. In this operating mode, the inputs of all the DP slaves are
frozen in their current state. The input data is not updated again until the
DP master sends the next Freeze control command to the relevant
devices. You terminate Freeze operation by issuing an Unfreeze control
command.
System behavior
To ensure that the devices are largely exchangeable, the system behavior
for the PROFIBUS DP has also been standardized. It depends principally
on the operating mode of the DPM1, which can be governed either locally
or from the planning device via the bus. The following principal modes are
distinguished:
Operating
modes
Stop
Clear
Operate
The DPM1 uses a multicast command to broadcast its local status
cyclically at regular intervals to all its subordinate DP slaves (the interval
can be configured). The system’s response to an error (such as the failure
of a DP slave) which occurs during the data transfer phase of the DPM1 is
determined by the operating parameter "Auto Clear”. If this parameter has
been set to "True”, then, as soon as any one DP slave ceases to be ready
to transfer user data, the DPM1 will switch the outputs of all its subordinate
DP slaves to a stable state and then enter Clear mode. If the parameter is
set to "False”, then the DPM1 will remain in Operate mode even in an error
situation and the user can govern the system response himself.
Data traffic between DPM1
and the DP slaves
The DPM1 automatically deals with data traffic between itself and its
subordinate DP slaves in a fixed and continually repeating order. During
the planning phase of the bus system, the user specifies which DP slaves
belong to which DPM1, which DP slaves should be included in the cyclic
transfer of user data, and which should be excluded from it.
The data traffic between the DPM1 and the DP slaves can be subdivided
into three phases: parametrization, configuration and data transfer. Before
it admits a DP slave to the data transfer phase, the DPM1 checks – in the
phases parametrization and configuration – whether the intended
configuration from the original plan agrees with the actual device
configuration. This check covers the device type, the format and length
information and the number of inputs and outputs, all of which must agree.
This gives the user reliable protection against parameter errors. In addition
to transferring user data, which the DPM1 carries out automatically, it is
also possible, at the user’s request, to transmit new parameters to the DP
slaves.
PROFIBUS coupler BK3xx0 in the PROFIBUS DP
No data is transferred between the DPM1 and the DP slaves. The
bus coupler addresses the bus terminals only once after the
power supply has been turned on and then no more (none of the
I/O LEDs is lit)
The DPM1 reads input information from the DP slaves and
maintains the outputs to the DP slaves in a secure state (the
outputs are set to logical zero, none of the I/O LEDs is lit)
The DPM1 is in the data transfer phase. Data is transferred
cyclically: inputs are read from the DP slaves and output
information is sent to them (the green I/O LED is lit).

Protective mechanisms
In the field of decentralized peripherals, security considerations make it
imperative that systems should be equipped with highly effective protective
functions to prevent incorrect parametrization or a failure of the
communications equipment. On both the DP master and the DP slaves,
PROFIBUS DP uses monitoring mechanisms which are implemented as
timeout monitors. The monitoring interval is specified when the DP system
is planned.
On the DP master
The DPM1 uses the Data_Control_Timer to monitor the transfer of user
data to and from the DP slaves. A separate monitoring timer is used for
each of the subordinate DP slaves. If a monitoring interval elapses without
any data being transferred, the monitor will report a timeout. The user will
be informed if this occurs. If automatic error response has been specified
(Auto_Clear = True), the DPM1 will leave Operate mode, switch the
outputs of its DP slaves to a secure state and go into Clear mode.
On the DP slave
Each DP slave maintains a response monitor to enable it to recognize
errors in the DP master or the transfer route. If a response monitoring
interval elapses without any data being exchanged with the superordinate
DP master, the DP slave will independently switch its outputs to the secure
state. In the case of a multi-master system additional security is necessary
to restrict access to the inputs and outputs of the DP slaves and to ensure
that direct accesses are made only by the authorized master. The DP
slaves therefore provide the other DP masters with a mapping of their
inputs and outputs which can be read by any DP master, even without
authority.
Identity number
Each DP slave and each DPM1 must have an individual identity number so
that a DP master can recognize the types of the attached devices without
entailing a significant protocol overhead. The master compares the identity
numbers of the attached DP devices with the identity numbers in the
planning data specified by the DPM2. No user data will be transferred
unless the correct device types have been attached to the bus with the
correct station addresses. This ensures that the system is protected from
planning errors.
Beckhoff PROFIBUS couplers, like all DP slaves and DPM1s, possess an
identity number allocated by the PNO. The PNO administers these identity
numbers together with the device master data and identity numbers are
also given in the type files. (The identity number of the bus couplers is
BECF (BK3000, BK3010) and BECE (BK3100, BK 3110).

The transfer medium: plugs and cables
The physical data transfer is defined in the PROFIBUS standard. See
PROFIBUS layer 1 (physical layer).
The sphere of operation of a fieldbus system is substantially determined by
the selected transfer medium and the physical bus interface. Besides the
requirements of data transfer security, the necessary expenditure for
procuring and installing the bus cable is of crucial significance. The
PROFIBUS standard therefore provides for various forms of
communications technology while maintaining its standard bus protocol.
Cable transfer: this version, which confirms to the US standard EIA
RS-485, has been specified as the basic version for applications in the field
of production technology, building management technology and drive
technology. It uses a single twisted-pair copper cable. Shielding may be
unnecessary, depending on the planned application (take electromagnetic
compatibility aspects into consideration).
Two cable types with different maximum cable lengths are available. See
table entitled "RS485". The pin assignments on the connector and the
wiring are shown in the figure. Please pay attention to the special
requirements for the data cable at board rates in excess of 1.5 MBaud. The
right cable is a basic requirement for disturbance-free operation of the bus
system. Whenusing the "normal" 1.5 Mbaud cable, astonishing phenomena
may occur as the result of reflections and excessive attenuation. This may
consist of the following: any one station is without a connection and it
resumes the connection when the neighbouring station is extracted. Or,
data transfer errors may occur when a certain bit pattern is transferred.
This means that the Profibus operates without disturbance but without
functioning of the system and randomly reports bus errors after start up.
The error behaviour described is eliminated by reducing the baud rate ( <
93.75 kBaud).
If reducing the baud rate does not remedy the problem, this is frequently
due to a wiring error. Either the two data lines have been swapped on one
or several connectors or the terminators are not on or are activated in the
wrong place.
Fiber optic conductor: the Profibus User group elaborated the specification
of a transmission technology based on fiber optic conductors for
applications in highly interference-prone environments and also to increase
the range.
Using the Beckhoff Profibus bus couplers with fiber optic interface
(BK3500) the realization of optical Profibus networks with ring technology
(optical one fiber with plastic fiber conductor) is possible. As the head of a
Profibus fiber optic ring a Coordinator (e.g. OZD Profi from Hirschmann) is
required. The maximum amount of stations in a Profibus fiber optic ring
depends on the baud rate. With 1.5 MBaud a maximum of 10 Stations in
one ring are allowed. Between two stations a minimal and maximal fiber
optic conductor length has to be observed (1 - 25 m). The baud rate can be
adjusted via DIP switches on the BK3500. Additional information can be
find in the following table.

Setting the station
Addresses
Address selector
The station address is set by way of the rotary switches on the left of the
bus coupler. The address is set as a decimal number. The top rotary switch
stands for the units position and the bottom one stands for the tens position
of the address. (Example: station address 18: bottom rotary switch = 1, top
rotary switch = 8). To ensure that the rotary switch setting is saved by the
BK3xxxit must be reset (by briefing interrupting the power supply or by
means of a software reset).
PROFIBUS coupler BK3xx0 in the PROFIBUS DP
6
Address selector LC3100
The address of the coupler can be set by means of DIP switches 1 – 6.
Switch 1 here is the least significant bit, 20, and switch 6 is the most
significant bit, 26. When the switch is ON the bit is set. The address can be
set in the range from 0 to 127 (e.g. node ID = 14 -> switch 2, 3, 4 to ON),
but the address 0 is not allowed. DIP switch 8 has no function.
In systems which contain more than two stations, all the subscribers are
connected in parallel. The bus cable must always be terminated at the
ends of the lines, to prevent reflections and the transmission problems they
cause.
In order to loop the cable through without any gaps it is necessary to affix
two cables within one plug. Siemens’ SINEC L2 bus connections are very
suitable for this. These SINEC plugs are constructed to accommodate two
bus cables with the corresponding wire terminals and shielding. At the end
of the line you can use a small switch in the plug to activate the terminating
resistor. Please observe the manufacturer’s assembly instructions.
BK3xxx/LC3100 31
PROFIBUS coupler BK3xx0 in the PROFIBUS DP
You should also note that the terminating resistor requires a 5 V power
supply for optimal operation. This means that if the plug is removed from
the bus coupler, or the power supply of the bus coupler fails, the level at
the terminating resistor will vary, which may affect the data transfer.
Configuring the master
As explained above, the Profibus coupler sets up a data area containing
the input and output bytes. The assignments between the channels of the
bus terminals and the bits and bytes of the process image are carried out
by the bus coupler.
The Profibus master exchanges a coherent input and output data block
with each Profibus coupler. The correlation between the bytes in this data
block and the addresses of the process image is carried out by the master.
In the case of the IM308-C SPS master, this parametrization is supported
by the software COMWIN, and for the IM308-B by the software
COMET200. For other masters you should use the corresponding tools
provided by the manufacturer (see also the chapters Device master file
and Type file).

When the coupler is started up, all the terminals are written into the process
image. The coupler then proceeds in accordance with the following rules:
first all the terminals with byte-oriented operation, then all the bit-oriented
terminals.
Byte oriented bus terminals Bit oriented bus terminals
All the byte oriented bus terminals must first be entered into the
configuration in the sequence in which they are plugged in. No distinction is
made here between input terminals and output terminals. The bit-oriented
bus terminals come next. These are always rounded up to one byte, so that,
for instance, 6 digital terminals with two channels (which therefore comprise
12 bits) are represented by two bytes, the extra 4 bits being filled with
zeroes. The GSD file contains the 8/16/32... digital inputs and/or outputs for
the bit-oriented terminals.
For the byte oriented bus terminals, only the initial identification plus place-
holders is given (e.g. KL3XXX) rather than the full terminal name. All of
these terminals are equal in the size of their process images. After this, the
number of channels can be specified. This is useful if it is desired to assign
different addresses in the PLC to the terminal channels.

The window illustrates the configuration of an IM308-C with a BK3000
slave and with station number 3. Bus terminals:
8 x KL1002,
4 x KL2012,
1 x KL3002 and
1 x KL4002
are connected to the BK3000 bus coupler. The arrangement of the bus
terminals next to the bus coupler is not significant for the assignment of
identifications to digital inputs and outputs. It is only the width, in bits, of the
bus terminals in the K bus, and therefore in the process image, that
matters. For the byte-oriented bus terminals the sequence always starts in
the sequence as seen from the left. The listing of the byte-oriented bus
terminals is followed by that of the bit-oriented digital bus terminals. The
analogue bus terminals can be identified as two individual inputs or as
double channel.
If the composition shown above is extended with a KL3002:
8 x KL1002,
4 x KL2012,
1 x KL3002 and
1 x KL4002
1 x KL3002 (additional)
the extension must be inserted into the list at the second location. The
entries for the digital terminals are pushed correspondingly downwards.

All the inserted terminals have to be configured. Unused inputs and outputs
can be omitted from the address assignment in order to save address
space in the PLC.
“Double-clicking” on a field in the “Order number” column will cause a
menu to appear for the selection of the desired identification for the
corresponding inserted terminal.
Ensuring data consistency
The analogue channels provide an opportunity of inserting another byte in
addition to the 16 bits of user data. This byte is a control/status byte that
controls access to a 64-byte register set. This register can for example be
used to switch a thermocouple from type K to type S. The data word
containing the user data always takes the form of an IN/OUT word if the
control/status byte is used. Allocation of input and output addresses is
necessary to enable access to the registers.
The possible identifications are precisely described in the appendix and in
the descriptions of the particular terminals.
The consistency of the data related to a station is secured by the Profibus
transmission protocol. Consistency over the whole process image is
achieved by activating the “SYNC” and “FREEZE” operating modes in the
masters.
34 BK3xxx/LC3100
The FREEZE and SYNC capabilities are pre-set in the slave parameters,
(see figure), and can not be switched off. FREEZE and SYNC are
controlled by the controller software.
Switching on the communication monitoring ensures that, in the event of
the failure of a particular station, the master will generate an error
message, allowing the control software to initiate exception handling
routines. Communication monitoring can be individually selected for each
station. The communication monitoring is switched on as default setting.
The COM PROFIBUS software issues a warning if the monitoring is
switched off.
The asynchronous access of the control CPU (usually a PLC) to the
PROFIBUS master’s data area can give rise to inconsistencies. The
configuration of a “multiple byte signal” and module consistency in the
COM PROFIBUS configuration software for the IM308-C automatically
ensures data consistency. Please refer to explanations in the manuals from
the appropriate manufacturers for further master interfaces.
Common PLC connection types are the IM308-B and IM 308-C as Profibus
DP master and the CP5431 as DP and FMS master.
Detailed information regarding the IM308-B is contained in the ET200
Distributed Peripheral System Manual, order no.: 6ES5 895-6SE11 from
Siemens in relation to data exchange with the Siemens S5. The manual
explains the use of the ET200COM software. Rules for ensuring
consistency are described in Appendix B, “Access to the Distributed
Peripherals”.
A Windows program, COM PROFIBUS, and extensive descriptions are
available for the IM308-C Profibus DP master interface. For work with the
Siemens S5, the IM308-C has the advantage of improved handling and the
possibility of freely allocating the peripheral address bytes. Versions 2.1
and higher are particularly convenient. With them it is possible to read an
extended type file. The settings required to ensure data consistency are
automatically made by the entries in the type file. (The figures on the
previous pages are taken from the COM PROFIBUS software.)

Insert GSD
S7 Example
The hardware configuration tool is started in order to insert a Beckhoff slave
into the controller. A new GSD file can be installed via the menu item
'Extras'. The directory or drive in which the new GSD file is located is
selected. When the installation has been completed, the new slave is found
in the catalogue under “More field devices” / “Other”.
A Profibus network must exist before the new slave can be inserted. The
rest of the procedure corresponds to that described above under “Quick
start”.
Note
If the data is more than 4 bytes long, the SFC14 / SFC15 blocks are needed
with an S7 controller if the data is to be consistently read or written. The
data can neither be read or written, nor can it be directly be observed or
forced without these blocks. In the S7-300 it is only possible to start at even
addresses, while in the S7-400 the start addresses must be divisible by 4.

TwinCAT Example
In TwinCAT the terminals are entered in precisely the same sequence in
which the terminals are physically plugged together. For analogue terminals
there is a difference between “Complex” and “Compact”. “Complex” refers
to complete mapping of the terminal, while “Compact” refers only to user
data.

The following example will illustrate the assignment of input/output

bus coupler; no analogue terminals can be configured for the Economy and
LowCost couplers):
Besides transfer of the user information signal, when using analog

The base addresses I0 and O0 listed here are used as relative addresses
or addresses in the bus coupler. If you have an appropriate superordinate
Profibus system you can use the bus master to enter these addresses at
any desired position in the process image of the control unit. You can use
the configuration software of the master to assign the bytes to the
addresses in the process image of the control unit.
Representation of analog signals in the process image
In the standard case, the analog signals are presented as follows: to input
bytes or to output bytes of the process image are needed for each analog
channel. The two bytes represent the value as unsigned interger, i.e. 15
bits with the sign. The data format is used independently of the actual
resolution. Example: with a resolution of 12 bits in the case of analog
values in the positive and negative value ranges, the four least significant
bits are of no importance. If the value of the analog signal is only positive,
the sine bit (bit 15, MSB) is always "0". In this case, the 12 bits of the
analog value are represented in bit 14 to bit 3. The three least significant
bits are of no importance.
By configuration via the Profibus master software or the KS2000 software,
the bus coupler can represent all or individual analog channels in an
extended mode. Optionally, the control and status byte of a channel can
also be inserted. The least significant byte of three bytes has control and
status functions. The other two bytes become inputs and outputs. Various
operating modes can be set with the control byte. The 6 least significant
bits of the control and status byte can be used as addressing bits.
Addressing serves to read and write a register set inside the terminal. The
register set has 64 registers. The settings are stored permanently.

PROFIBUS DP
Parameterisation telegram
The Set_Prm service can be used to transfer not only the parameterisation
described in the DP standard, but also manufacturer-specific operating
parameters (User_Prm_Data). These are characterised by the fact that
they are transmitted once as the connection from the master to the slave is
established. Usually the settable operating parameters can be displayed
textually by the DP master’s configuration tool by reading in the bus
coupler’s GSD file. The following operating parameters can be set using
the User_Prm_Data:
Terminal bus settings
If an error occurs on the terminal bus during operation, the bus coupler can
make cyclical attempts to recommence operation of the terminal bus
(reaction to terminal bus error: automatic reset) or can remain in an error
state until terminal bus operation is re-started with the KS2000
configuration software by way of the 2 byte PLC interface or by way of the
DPV1 service (reaction to terminal bus error: manual reset).
The complex terminals indicate through an error bit (bit 6) in the status byte
whether they have detected an error. The bus coupler can be
parameterised in such a way that it sends a message to the DP master in
the DP diagnostic data (Ext_Diag_Data) if this error bit changes (terminal
bus diagnostics).
The digital output terminals with diagnostics can send the diagnostic bits in
the input data to the DP master cyclically (digital terminal diagnostic data in
the process image), or they can send it only by means of a message in the
external diagnostic data (digital terminal diagnostic data not in the process
image). The latter case however requires the terminal bus diagnostics to
be switched on so that the digital terminal diagnostic bits appear in the DP
diagnostic data.
New complex terminals (since the middle of 1998) support the BK200
mode, which makes the terminal cycle time about 1/3 shorter.
The terminal bus settings are found in byte 7 of the User_Prm_Data (the
default settings are printed bold):

Complex terminal data can be represented in either INTEL or MOTOROLA
format, although controllers generally expect the data to be in MOTOROLA
format.
In addition to automatic configuration, in which the terminals appear in the
output and/or input data in the sequence in which they are mechanically
inserted (first analogue then digital), a “programmed configuration” can
also be loaded by the KS2000 configuration software, in which the

sequence of the terminals in the output or input data can be freely
programmed.
The terminal bus cycle can be started cyclically (updating of the process
image: free running) or synchronously with reception of the DP
Data_Exchange telegram (updating of the process image: synchronous
with the cycle).
The reaction to a PROFIBUS error (the plug is pulled out, the DP master
enters STOP, etc.) can be set. The possible reactions are that the terminal
bus is stopped, the outputs are set to 0 or that the old outputs are sent onto
the terminal bus.
It is also possible to set a reaction to a terminal bus error. The possible
reactions are abortion of the DP data exchange, setting the inputs to 0 or
sending the old inputs onto the PROFIBUS.

2 byte PLC interface/
2 byte diagnostic interface
Registers in the complex terminals and bus coupler registers can both be
read or written using the 2 byte PLC interface. The complex terminal
registers are described in the associated terminal documentation. The bus
coupler registers can be used, for example, to read terminal bus
diagnostics data, the terminal composition or the cycle times, and the
programmed configuration can be written. It is also possible for a manual
terminal bus reset to be carried out. The 2 byte PLC interface needs 2
bytes both in the output data and in the input data, and a special protocol is
used with them (the two bytes are always located at the start of the output
or input data). A description of the 2 byte PLC interface, the registers
available in the bus couplers and of function blocks for various PLCs that
implement the 2 byte PLC interface can be supplied on request.
The terminal’s error messages can also be sent via the 2 byte diagnostic
interface as an alternative to transmission with the DP diagnostic data.
Terminal bus diagnostics must however be activated for this purpose. The
2 byte diagnostic interface occupies two bytes in the output data and two in
the input data, and a protocol is used with them (the two bytes are always
located at the start of the output or input data behind the 2 byte PLC
interface (if that is switched on)). A description of the 2 byte-diagnostic
interface can be supplied on request.

Synchronous input update
If the updating of the process image is set to be synchronous with the
cycles, the terminal bus cycles is started after receipt of the
Data_Exchange telegram. The outputs are then fully current, but since the
inputs are read with the same terminal bus cycle, they can be out of date
by the time of the next transmission to the DP master, if the PROFIBUS
cycle time is significantly greater than the terminal bus cycle. For this
reason it is possible to shift the time of the terminal bus cycle after receipt
of the Data_Exchange telegram. It is also possible, if the PROFIBUS cycle
time is more than twice as long as the terminal bus cycle time, for there to
be two terminal bus cycles. The first cycle is started immediately after
receipt of the Data_Exchange telegram, (synchronous output), and the
second cycle is started at a specified time (delay time) after the first cycle
(synchronous input).
The settings for synchronous input update are located in byte 12 of the

Start-up mode
In order to be able to parameterise the complex terminals at start-up using
the 2 byte PLC interface or with the DPV1 services, the bus coupler can be
switched into parameter mode at start-up, which means that after the DP
start-up is successfully completed, terminal bus cycles can still not be
carried out. After parameterisation of the complex terminals the coupler
must also be transferred into process data mode by means of the 2 byte
PLC interface, or by making use of the DPV1 services. After this the bus
coupler executes terminal bus cycles again. This makes it possible to
program the DP master in such a way that, during a DP (re-)start, the
appropriate registers for the complex terminals are transmitted via the 2
byte PLC interface or the DPV1 services before it switches the bus coupler
into process data mode. A terminal can thus be changed at any time,
without having to consider the correct register settings.
In parameter mode a distinction is made as to whether the bus coupler
must signal to the DP master that it is ready for data exchange (necessary
if the parameterisation is to take place by means of the 2 byte PLC
interface) or whether it should send static diagnostics to the DP master.

More details regarding the DPV1 services will be given in a later chapter

DP master that is also executing the cyclical data exchange (class 1

A new diagnostics format is also described in the DPV1 standard that can
be activated in place of the diagnostic formats used formerly. The structure
of the diagnostic data for both formats is described in detail in a later
chapter (Diagnostics).

Digital terminals
Auto-configuration
The data for all the digital input and output terminals is collected into a byte
array for inputs and a byte array for outputs in the sequence of the sockets.
The following codes can be used for digital data:
Code Description
0x1n
0x2n
0x3n
(n+1) bytes digital inputs
(n+1) bytes digital outputs
(n+1) bytes digital inputs and outputs
These codes can be used freely, so that the total of the input and/or output
bytes corresponds in each case to the existing data length for digital inputs
and outputs (rounded up to the next byte).
Since the digital data is transferred after all the analogue data, the digital
codes are to be defined after all the analogue codes.
Analogue terminals
8 bits of control and/or status data are available as well as the user data to
each channel in the analogue terminals. These terminals are classified as
intelligent terminals, and support register communication (8 bit
control/status data, 16 bits I/O data per channel). A specific coding in the
control/status data determines whether the first 16 bits of the user data are
to be interpreted as I/O data for the register communication.
A code is first to be defined for each analogue terminal, where the
sequence depends on the socket positions.

Programmed configuration (only BK3000 and BK3100)
You can use the configurator to place the terminals as desired into the
local process image, and this image is then transferred by the
Data_Exchange service.
The DP configuration data of the programmed configuration is located in
table 70 of the bus coupler:

This configuration data is also expected for the Chk_Cfg service and any

Diagnostics
The diagnostic data is automatically reported to the DP master by the bus
coupler whenever it changes. The meaning of the first 6 bytes is the same
for all DP slaves, after which device-specific diagnostic data follows. The
structure for a bus coupler is specified according to the setting of “Old
format / DPV1 format”.
Usually the DP master has the ability to interrogate a flag in the PLC to
determine whether diagnostic data has changed. The diagnostic data itself
can then in most cases be read by means of a function block. In the S5 the
diagnostic data is read with the FB IM308C function block, and in the S7

DPV1 PROFIBUS
(BK3x10 / BK3500 / LC3100 only)
The DPV1 PROFIBUS specification includes a description of the acyclical
read/write services. The acyclical read/write services can be used to
transfer larger quantities of data than the maximum of 244 bytes of cyclical
output or input data.
A distinction is drawn between the master with which data is also cyclically
exchanged (the class 1 master) and other masters (class 2 masters).
The acyclical connection between the class 1 master and a slave is
automatically established at the same time as the cyclical connection
(parameterisation, configuration), provided the DPV1 services are activated
in the User_Prm_Data (byte 0, bit 7 = 1).
The acyclical connection between a class 2 master and a slave is
established by means of an initiate service. The connection is established
as soon as the initiate service has successfully been completed.
Once established, read or write services can be used to address various
data sets within the slave with the aid of a slot number and an index.
In the S7 the DPV1 services can be used with SFC58 (write) and SFC59
(read). Since the S7 master is a class 1 master, the DPV1 services must
additionally be activated in the User_Prm_Data (byte 0, bit 7).
In TwinCAT a "Protnumber" can be set on the bus coupler ADS tab to use
the DPV1 services with the transfer functions ADSRead and ADSWrite.
The possible values for the slot number and the index defined for the bus
coupler are listed below.

Combined operation with PROFIBUS DP
and PROFIBUS FMS
(only BK3000 and BK3100)
Protocol architecture of
PROFIBUS DP and
PROFIBUS FMS
PROFIBUS is based on numerous recognized national and international
standards. The protocol architecture follows the OSI (Open System
Interconnection) reference model, which corresponds to the international
standard ISO 7498. The architecture of PROFIBUS FMS and the
PROFIBUS DP protocol is shown in the illustration "Protocol architecture of
PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP”.
Both versions use the same protocol to access the bus (layer 2) and the
same data transfer technology (layer 1).
Appendix
Layers 3 to 6 are not developed in PROFIBUS FMS. Those facilities of
these layers that are necessary for this field of operation have been
grouped together in the lower layer interface (LLI). The LLI is an element of
layer 7.
The FMS (fieldbus message specification) includes the application protocol
and provides a large number of powerful communication services. FMS is
the interface to the application process. The FMS services are a subset of
the MMS services (MMS, manufacturing message specification, ISO 9506)
of the MAP protocol. The complex MMS services have been optimized to
suit the requirements of fieldbus operations and supplemented by the
addition of special functions for administering communications objects and
network management functions.
Layers 3 to 7 are not developed in PROFIBUS DP. The application layer
(7) is also omitted in order to achieve the necessary transfer rates. The
Direct Data Link Mapper (DDLM) provides the user interface with
convenient access to layer 2. The application functions which are available
to the user, the system behavior, and the behavior of the various
PROFIBUS DP device types, are all specified in the user interface.
One particular advantage of PROFIBUS is the ability to operate the
components PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP together on a single
bus. For applications which are content with an increased system response
time, the combined operation of PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP bus
couplers on a single bus is both possible and advantageous. It is even
possible to operate both versions of the protocol on a single bus coupler
simultaneously. These devices are then described as a "combislave”.
BK3xxx/LC3100 55
Appendix
Using bus couplers as combislaves carries a number of advantages for the
user:
It reduces the variety of different devices involved, because the identical
device can be used flexibly, either for fast cyclic data transfer with
PROFIBUS DP or with the more powerful PROFIBUS FMS services. For
example, you can use the FMS services for parametrization when the
installation is initially set up, when speed is not such a critical factor, and
the fast DP functions for the cyclic transfer of user data in the operating
phase of a controller. Such possible combinations offer manifold ways of
utilizing these devices.
This combined operation is possible because both versions of the protocol
use the same transfer and bus access procedures (layers 1/2). The various
application functions are separated by the different service access points of
layer 2. The bus coupler automatically recognizes the appropriate
processing mode.
PROFIBUS LAYER 7
(application layer)
PROFIBUS
communication model
Communications objects
and object directory (OD)
PROFIBUS FMS
(only BK3000 and BK3100)
PROFIBUS FMS makes it possible for automation devices to communicate
with one another and with the intelligent field devices. The available
functionality is more important here than a fast system response time.
Many applications carry out predominantly acyclic data exchanges in
response to requests from the application process. Beckhoff bus couplers
can operate both as DP slaves and FMS slaves.
Layer 7 of the ISO/OSI reference model provides useful communication
services for the user. These application services permit efficient and open
data transfer between application processes. The PROFIBUS application
layer is specified in DIN 19 245 part 2 and consists of:
- Fieldbus Message Specification (FMS) and
- Lower Layer Interface (LLI).
FMS describes the communications objects, application services and the
resulting models from the point of view of the communications partner. The
LLI is used to adapt the application functions to the manifold features of the
PROFIBUS layer 2.
An application process includes all the programs, resources and tasks
which do not belong to any of the communication layers. The PROFIBUS
communication model makes it possible to use communication
relationships to combine distributed application processes into one overall
process.
That part of an application process in a field device which is accessible via
communications is described as a virtual field device (VFD).
In the PROFIBUS communication model, the mapping of the functions of
the VFD onto the actual device is carried out by the application layer
interface (ALI).
All the communications objects belonging to a PROFIBUS subscriber are
recorded in his local object directory. For simple devices, the object
directory may be predefined. For complex devices, the object directory is
planned and loaded into the device locally or remotely. The OD contains
descriptions, structures and data types, and also the correlation of the
internal device addresses of the communications objects with their
56 BK3xxx/LC3100
identifier on the bus (index/name). The OD is made up as follows:
• Header (contains information about the structure of the OD).
• List of the static data types (list of the supported static data types)
• Static object directory (contains all the static communications objects)
• Dynamic list of variable lists (list of the currently known variable lists)
• Dynamic program list (list of the currently known programs)
The individual sections of the OD only have to be present if the device
actually supports the corresponding functions.
Static communications objects are entered in the static object directory and
may be predefined by the device manufacturer or be specified during the
planning of the bus system. Communications in field applications uses
principally static communications objects. PROFIBUS recognizes the
following static communications objects:
• Simple Variable
• Array (series of simple variables of the same type)
• Record (series of simple variables of various types)
• Domain (data area)
• Event (a reported occurrence)
Dynamic communications objects are entered in the dynamic part of the
OD (variable list directory / program invocation directory). They may be
predefined and you can also use the application services to define, modify
or delete them during the operating phase.
PROFIBUS supports the following dynamic communications objects:
• Program Invocation
• Variable List (series of simple variables, arrays or records)
Logical addressing is the preferred method for addressing communications
objects in PROFIBUS. This accesses the communications objects by
means of a short address, known as an index, which is a number of type
Unsigned16. This permits efficient telegrams and reduces the protocol
overhead. An index is specified in the OD for each of the communications
objects of a device. All PROFIBUS subscribers must support logical
addressing.
PROFIBUS FMS also permits the following optional addressing methods
for particular applications:
Symbolic addressing using names: in this case the symbolic name of the
communications object is transferred over the bus.
Physical addressing: here you can access any desired physical memory
address in the field devices by using the services Physical Read and
Physical Write.
Each communications object can (optionally) be protected from
unauthorized access. You can permit access to an object only with a
specific password, or restrict it to a particular device group. You can
specify the password and device group in the object directory separately
for each individual object, and you can make an entry in the object
directory to restrict the services which may be used to access the object
(e.g. read-only access).
FMS for BK3xxx
Connection monitoring can be set up when acyclical connections are
established. The slave adapts to the setting desired by the master.

Digital terminals
The data for all the digital input and output terminals is collected into a byte
array for inputs and a byte array for outputs in the sequence of the sockets.
All digital input and output terminals are collected into one aggregate object
each. The offset of the data for a digital terminal is thus determined by its
physical socket.

Analogue terminals
8 bits of control and/or status data are available as well as the user data to
each channel in the analogue terminals. These terminals are classified as
intelligent terminals, and support register communication (8 bit
control/status data, 16 bits I/O data per channel). A specific coding in the
control/status data determines whether the first 16 bits of the user data are
to be interpreted as I/O data for the register communication.
Two FMS objects are defined for each channel, the index depending on the
socket and the channel. The socket location only has reference to the
analogue terminals, so that the analogue terminal that is nearest to the bus
coupler is assigned socket number 0, the analogue terminal that comes
next has socket number 1, and so on. The first object addresses all of the
channel’s output data (control byte plus user data). When DP data
exchange is being carried out, the bus coupler answers a write access with
the negative ACCESS_DENIED response.
The second object addresses all of the channel’s input data (status byte
plus user data). This object can only be read.

Programmed configuration
The configuration tool allows further objects to be defined, into which any
desired process data can be collected. The index range above 1000 is
available for this. The bus coupler software needs the configuration tool to
supply it with the offset and the length in the process image, and must
know whether input or output data are involved. The first programmed FMS
object is allocated index 1000, after which the index increases without
gaps. If the programmed configuration is selected, the objects described
above in association with auto-configuration are omitted. The newly
generated FMS objects have the following properties:

1000 + x
Octet string
Sum of the data widths of the associated terminals (byte align)
read only (for input data)
read write (for output data)
60 BK3xxx/LC3100
The programmed configuration requires the descriptions of the FMS
objects that are found in tables 71 and 72 of the bus coupler:
Tables 71-72
Register 0
Register 1-2
...
Register 254-255
Diagnostic messages
One object is defined for each diagnostic message, its index depending on
the socket and on the channel. The socket location only has reference to
the analogue terminals, so that the analogue terminal that is nearest to the
bus coupler is assigned socket number 0, the analogue terminal that
comes next has socket number 1, and so on.
The structure of the diagnostic messages corresponds to that described for
the DP.

For each diagnostic message object there is also an event object, whose
index corresponds to that of the associated diagnostic message
object + 5000.
2 byte PLC interface
The 2 byte PLC interface is implemented with object 500. The 2 byte
outputs are addressed when writing this object, and the 2 byte inputs when
reading it.

Miscellaneous
DP/FMS operation
The BK 3000 always supports both DP and FMS operation up to
1.5 Mbaud. The BK 3100 supports the operation set in register 16 in table
0 of the bus coupler up to 12 Mbaud:
In either pure DP operation or pure FMS operation it is possible for more
input and output data and/or more connections can be defined (see
above).
Min. TSDR
The bus coupler’s minimum answer time can be set through register 17 in
table 0 of the bus coupler. The default value is 11 (bit times), but values
from 11 to 255 are possible.
Important:
some FMS Masters are too slow to react to the bus coupler’s default
answer time. The bus coupler’s answer time can however with the KS2000
be changed via the serial interface. In such cases, the min. TSDR should
be changed as follows:
