1 General

Using the universal interface, Profibus DP output data are transmitted via
the serial RS interface, and frames received by the serial RS interface are
copied to the Profibus DP input data.

The mechanical design is laid out for top-hat rail mounting.
Settings for bus termination, address and options can be made simply by
using DIP switches.

2.1.2 DP Configuration Data

The configuration of the Profibus interface normally happens using the
GSD file. It is initially imported into the "Device Catalog" of the
configuration software. Subsequently, the Profibus interface can be
“dragged” into the bus system and then be configured.

With the configuration, the user can individually adapt data width within
the data transfer. Data widths of 1 to 16 bytes maximum are possible.
By specifying these identifiers in any order, the desired total data width is set
for both the input and the output data.

Data Identifier Number of Bytes Function / Description

0x10 1 Input data
0x11 2 Input data

: : :

0x1F 16 Input data
0x20 1 Output data

0x21 2 Output data

: : :

0x2F 16 Output data
0x30 1/1 Input / output data (1 byte each)

0x31 2/2 Input / output data (2 bytes each)

: :

0x3F 16/16 Input / output data (16 bytes each)

The maximum number of input and output bytes is 200 bytes each.
However a total number of 300 bytes (input + output) may not be exceeded.

 Default configuration: 2x 0x3F = 32 input and 32 output bytes

2.1.3 DP Diagnosis Data

The interface does not support any extended diagnosis data. Default
diagnosis is utilised.

2.1.4 DP Parameter Data

The User_Prm_Data are not utilised by the interface. However, a test is run
to determine whether or not User_Prm_Data are transferred by the Profibus
master. If User_Prm_Data are transferred, Profibus initialisation is disabled
and the slave must be reconfigured and parameterised.

Note:
Standard parametrisation is required and is normally installed by the utilised
DP configurators.

2.1.5 DP Output Data

The interface supports output data which have been configured to the
length selected during configuration. The minimum number of output data
is 0 bytes, the maximum number is 200 bytes.

Send frames are entered to the output data.
 At least 3 output bytes are required if send frames are used.

2.1.6 DP Input Data

The interface supports input data which have been configured to the
length selected during configuration. The minimum number of input data
is 0 bytes, the maximum number is 200 bytes.

Receive frames are entered into the input data.
 At least 3 input bytes are required if receive frames are used.

2.2 Transmit Data Frame (DP Output -> Serial Interface)

DP Output

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 ... Byte n + 2

Toggle byte Length

byte = n

Frame byte 1 Frame byte 2 ... Frame byte n

In order to transmit a frame via the serial interface, the individual frame bytes
must be entered at the Profibus side as output bytes 3 through (n + 2). After the
length byte (= frame length n) has been entered, the toggle byte must be
changed in order to start transmission.

The toggle byte is not checked again until after the current frame has been
transmitted. Transmission duration can be estimated based upon frame length
and baud rate.

*Transmission duration (max.) = Frame length x (11 / baud rate) x 1.2
In addition, the delay through the processing on the master side, the Profibus

transmission and the processing on slave side (< 5 ms) must be considered.

In many cases it is also possible to simply wait for the (mostly existing)
response frame which is visible through the toggle byte change at DP
input side.

If too few DP output bytes have been configured, the frame is shortened
accordingly!

Example:

Transmission of two frames (‘ABC’ and ‘DE’) one after the other in rapid
succession to the RS interface

2.3 Receive Data Frame (Serial Interface -> DP Input)

DP Input

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 ... Byte n + 2

Toggle byte Length

byte = n

Frame byte 1 Frame byte 2 ... Frame byte n

Each time a frame has been received via the serial interface (frame end
recognised by means of timeout), it is entered as input bytes 3 through (n + 2),
and the frame length (n) is entered as byte 2 (= length byte). The toggle byte is
also increased by 1.

Thus only the toggle byte needs to be monitored at the Profibus side. As soon as
it’s value has changed, data can be read out from the received frame.

If too few DP input bytes are configured, the frame is shortened correspondingly!
The toggle byte is always set to 0 after Profibus communication is initialised.

Example:

Two frames (“Hello” and “World”) are received via the RS interface.

4 Appendix

4.1 Warranty / Liability

For the product, liability is assumed for defects, which existed at the
delivery date according to our General Terms and Conditions.

Technically changes as well as errors are excepted. A claim for delivery of a new
product does not exist. The buyer has to check the received product immediately
and indicate evident defects at the latest 24 hours after detection. Non­observance of notification requirements is equated with acceptance of the defect.
Not immediately visible defects have to be indicated immediately after their
perception too.

Generally, defects and their symptoms must be described as accurately
as possible in order to allow for reproducibility and elimination. The buyer
must provide for access to the relevant device and all required and/or
useful information at no charge and must make all of the required data
and machine time available free of charge.

The guarantee does not cover defects, which result from non-observance
of the prescribed conditions of use, or from improper handling.

If the device has been placed at the disposal of the buyer for test
purposes and has been purchased subsequent to such testing, both
parties agree that the product is to be considered “used” and that it has
been purchased “as is”. No guarantee claims may be made in such
cases.

The General Terms and Conditions of microSYST Systemelectronic
GmbH in current version apply as well.
