1.Introduction
1.1Features of the 64DP-M
The FX2N-64DP-M Profibus-DP Master Block (hereafter called “64DP-M”) is a “Class 1” master
for t he Profibus-DP network ( hereafter called “Profibus-DP”). Th e FX2N series programmable
controller by connecting 64DP-M can read input data from the Profibus-DP slave (hereafter
called “DP-slave”), and write output data to the DP-slave.
•Controlled maximum slaves:
A 64DP-M can control a maximum of 60 slaves using repeaters on the DP-network.
For system configuration of the Profibus-DP, refer to section 1.3.
•Configuration setting:
Introduction 1
Configuration of the 64DP-M can be set easily by MELSEC ProfiMap configuration software
(V3.00 or more). For MELSEC ProfiMap configuration software (hereafter called “ProfiMap),
refer to MELSEC ProfiMap Configuration System for Open Networks Software Manual.
•Communication:
The 64DP-M supports 9.6k, 19.2k, 93.75k, 187.5k, 500k, 1,500k, 3M, 6M and 12Mbps.
The 64DP-M can be connected to a Profibus-DP by a standard 9-pin D-SUB connector and
shielded twisted pair cable complying with EN50170. See chapter 2.
•Global control:
The 64DP-M supports Sync global control, Unsync global control, Freeze global control and
Unfreeze global control.
c) RS-232C port (9-pin D-SUB Connector: #4-40unc inch screw thread)
The cable connecting between 64DP-M and personal computer is Blue ProfiCab cable.
For Blue ProfiCab, refer to MELSEC ProfiMap Configuration System for Open Networks
Software Manual.
