STATION ADDRESS
The PROFIBUS Master module requires an RX3i CPU with firmware version 2.9 or
later. This module must be located in an RX3i Universal Backplane.
The PROFIBUS module receives its firmware upgrades indirectly from the host
controller CPU using the WinLoader software utility. WinLoader is supplied with any
updates to the PROFIBUS module software.
Release Information
Version 1.04 of the IC695PBM300 RX3i PROFIBUS Master resolves the following
issues:
When multiple Lumberg devices (8in/4out) are connected to the bus and po wer is
removed from these devices, but the PBM300 remains powered, the inputs
assigned to the Lumberg devices will toggle between 1 and 0.
Configuring slaves with a large amount of parameter data returns the correct error
code when parameter data exceeds the available memory space.
The IC695PBM300 is field upgradable to firmware version 1.04 using the firmware
upgrade utility.

PBM300 Functional Compatibility
Subject Description

PLC C Toolkit Version
Requirements
Customers using existing Series 90-30 PROFIBUS products should review the
PACSystems RX3i PROFIBUS Modules User’s Manual, GFK-2301. Changes have been
made in items such as CommReq status words and data fields. This module will report
additional information in some instances, and less information in other instances. This
product also supports PROFIBUS DP-V1 functionality.
The IC695PBM300 can be configured and programmed with Machine Edition Logic
Developer PLC version 5.0 Build 3227 SP2 or later.
The number and types of slave devices that can exchange data with the master are
constrained by various memory resources within the module. The amount of memory
available for the PROFIBUS configuration is affected by the number and types of slave
modules in the network configuration. The total slave configuration data size is limited to
approximately 9KB.
The amount of data that can be configured on the IC695PBM300 PROFIBUS network
provides up to 3584 input bytes and 3584 output bytes.
DOIO functionality is not supported in the embedded PROFIBUS interface at this time. The
DOIO function block returns an error if it is executed using the embedded PROFIBUS as a
target.
Version 4.00 Build 50A1 or later of the PLC C Toolkit must be used for C programming.
Problems Resolved by this Revision
The following problems are resolved in version 1.04.
Subject Description
Inputs to Lumberg devices
blink when devices are
powered down.
Incorrect error returned
when memory space
exceeded
In previous versions, when multiple Lumberg devices (8in4out) are connec ted to the bus and
power is removed from these devices (but the PROFIBUS master remains powered), the
inputs assigned to the Lumberg devices will toggle between 1 and 0. This problem has been
corrected in version 1.04.
Configuring slaves with large amount of parameter data returns the incorrect error code when
parameter data exceed the available memory space. This problem is resolved in version
1.04.
Problems Resolved in RX3i CPU (IC695CPU310)
The following problems were resolved in Release 3.00 of the RX3i CPU.
Subject Description
PBM300 DPV1 Status data When a slave module sends a DPV1 Alarm Request to the PBM300 master, the alarm
information is displayed in the DPV1 Status input area. The Sequence Number field in thi s
status area will only indicate the value 0 in release 2.9 RX3i CPU firmware, thus only sl ave
DPV1 Alarms with Sequence Number 0 can be properly indicated. This issue is corrected in
release 3.0 of the RX3i CPU firmware release.
Discrete memory types for
PBM300 COMMREQ
In a PBM300 COMMREQ request, the COMMREQ response reference memory area is
indicated in the request. Discrete reference memory types are now supported for the
response data area.
