Installing the X5PROFI01
Communication Option Board
The X5 frequency converters can be connected to Profibus DP using an option board, the X5PROFI01. The converter can then be controlled, monitored, and programmed from the host system.
Profibus is an vendor-independent, open fieldbus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing, process and building automation. Vendor independence and openness are guaranteed by the Profibus standard EN 50 170. With Profibus, devices made by different manufacturers can communicate without special interface adjustments. Profibus is useful for both high-speed, time-critical data transmission, and for extensive complex communication tasks. The Profibus family consists of three compatible versions:
Optimized for high-speed and inexpensive connection, the Profibus DP version is designed especially for communication between automation control systems and distributed I/O at the device level. Profibus DP can be used to replace parallel signal transmission with 24 V or 0 to 20 mA. Profibus DP is the version of Profibus used in the X5 drive units.
Profibus PA is designed especially for process automation. It permits sensors and actuators to be connected on one common bus line even in intrinsically safe areas. Profibus PA permits data communication and power over the bus using a two-wire technology according to international standard IEC 1158-2.
Profibus FMS is the general-purpose solution for communication tasks at the cell level. Power FMS services open up a wide range of applications and provide great flexibility. Profibus FMS can also be used for extensive and complex communication tasks.
Profibus specifies the technical and functional characteristics of a serial fieldbus system with which decentralized digital controllers can be networked together from the field level to the cell level. Profibus distinguishes between master and slave devices.
Master devices determine the data communication on the bus. A master can send messages without an external request when it holds the bus access rights (the token). Masters are also called “active stations” in the Profibus protocol.
Slave devices are peripheral devices. Typical slave devices include input/output devices, valves, drives, and measuring transmitteres. They do not have bus access rights and they can only acknowledge received messages or send messages to the master when requested to do so. Slaves are also called “passive stations.”
The Profibus protocol defines how user data is to be transmitted between the stations over the bus. User data is not evaluated by the Profibus transmission protocol. The meaning is specified in the profiles. In addition, the profiles specify how Profibus is to be used in the application area.

X5PROFI01 Profibus Communication Option Board |
NOTE: This network communication interface included with the X5 option is warranted to meet the core specifications for Profibus. Many existing software applications are custom-engineered and may contain “brand-specific” communication that will not be supported by the X5 without modification. No guarantee of compatibility with any specific system is made. The user is responsible for any interface software and hardware needed to make an application function.
This manual is supplied as a supplement to the X5 AC Drive User’s Manual (DPD 00089, previously Form 1434).
The option kit includes the following materials:

! WARNING
SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT
This assembly contains static-sensitive components. It should be handled only by a static-safe installer, using a grounded wrist strap.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause premature equipment failure.
! DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
•Disconnect all power before servicing a drive unit or its components. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC bus capacitors discharge.
•Ensure that any other power sources that may feed control logic have been disconnected.
•DO NOT short across DC bus capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.
•Install all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.
•The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable code requirements with respect to grounding all equipment.
•Many parts in a drive, including printed circuit boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrically-insulated tools.
Before servicing any drive.
•Disconnect all power.
•Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the drive disconnect.
•Lock the disconnect in the open position.
Failure to observe these precautions will cause shock or burn, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

The option board is installed just above the control board in all configurations (a Size 1 unit is shown in Figure 3 for reference). The screws labeled “A” must be removed from the X5; those labeled “B” need only to be loosened to accept the board slot.

Next, install the flexible circuit to finish the interface to the control board. (Refer to Figure 4.) To install the flexible circuit, first remove the keypad frame (necessary in this size unit). The frame is attached with two screws in opposite corners; the screws thread into fasteners in the plastic assembly. After the flexible circuit is installed, replace these screws, limiting the installation torque to 12 in-lbs..
