ProfiHub B5+ / B5+RD User Manual

1 Product Description

ProfiHub B5+ is an advanced, flexible and robust network component for PROFIBUS DP installations, to create backbone structures and long multi-device star/tree segments.

PROFIBUS DP is a high speed communication bus that must comply with strict rules concerning spur lines, because of possible reflections that could lead to communication disturbances. If spur lines or star segments are required, costly investments in repeaters have to be done.

The innovative ProfiHub B5+ is the perfect component for such applications. It is an economic solution to realise reliable spur lines in high speed DP networks. They have the functionality of 5 galvanic isolated transparent repeaters. This allows network structures with extended spur lines that individually can handle a maximum of 31 devices and a length equal to the main bus. The ProfiHub

B5+ refreshes a received message on one Channel and transfers it to all the other Channels (chicken foot topology).

Because the ProfiHub B5+ creates isolated segments, the devices can now be removed and added during operation. Also most electrical bus problems and EMC disturbances in a spur do not spread to the other segments. The intelligent logic and isolation circuits of the ProfiHubs do not change the bit width. This means the ProfiHubs do not have limitations in serial placement. The logic also detects the transmission speed automatically.

To assist the installation work, termination is integrated and can be switched on/off. The grounding concept is also selectable: direct or capacitive grounding. The ProfiHubs are powered by a 10 to 24 DC Voltage. For troubleshooting, maintenance and commissioning the ProfiHubs are equipped with LEDs on the outside, which indicate the status of each Channel (Data and Error).

If bus redundancy is enabled, 2 segments will form a redundant pair which is completely compatible with the ABB RLM01. An alarm contact is linked to events based on the status of the power supply and the bus redundancy status.

Fig. 4 - Because of the isolation and intelligence the ProfiHub provides, it can be used as a barrier for electrically sensitive segments. This keeps the backbone and other Channels clean.

ProfiHub B5+ / B5+RD User Manual

1.4 Channel Structure

Each Channel is electrically isolated and internally connected to the transparent intelligent backbone. The termination is switchable and powered by the ProfiHub. The shielding of the PROFIBUS cable can be directly grounded or indirectly grounded (see the next paragraph).

Fig. 5 - Channel structure

1.5 Grounding System

The ProfiHub B5+ can be grounded by 3 methods:

1) Direct grounding on the Ground Rail

2) Indirect grounding (through a capacitor)

3) Combination of direct and indirect.

The power supply must be grounded directly on the Ground Rail. The shielding of the PROFIBUS cables can be directly or indirectly grounded. If you do not want to ground all or some cables to the common ground, i.e. compensating current, the cable shielding must be connected to pin ‘I’ which stands for Indirect grounding. A capacitor with a parallel high value resistor will separate the 2 potentials ( If by accident on 1 channel the Direct Grounding is connected with the Indirect Grounding, the connection to the Direct Grounding bypasses the capacitor in the Indirect Ground connection. The current on the shield will flow to Direct Ground.

Fig. 5

), ensuring protection of the signal against non-DC disturbances.

2 Installation Instructions ProfiHub B5+

2.1 Location

The ProfiHub B5+ can be installed everywhere in a non-hazardous area that complies with IP 20 (DIN 40 050) and the specified temperature range of -25 to +70

Celsius.

2.2 Position

The ProfiHub B5+ can be installed in every position, but it is recommended to install it with the cables pointing down. In this position it is also easier to read the status LEDs.

2.3 Mounting

The ProfiHub B5+ can be mounted on 35 mm DIN-rail with a minimum width of 167 mm. Mounting brackets are available for mounting the B5+ directly on a wall. The ProfiHub B5+ has only been UL and DNV approved with 35 mm DIN-rail mounting!

The supplied rubber studs need to be placed on the back of the housing of the ProfiHub B5+ for extra fixation. This is to prevent the product to potentially slide off the DIN-rail. See When used in DNV environments these rubber studs need to be installed!

for an example.

2.4 Power Supply

To comply with UL certification regulations the power supply must be a Limited Power Source (LPS) or NEC Class 2 or CEC Class 2 that cannot exceed 100VA.

The two 2-pin screw type power connectors are located on the left of the ProfiHub B5+ ( 1 = + (left) 2 = - (right)

Fig. 10

Fig. 10 - Power connectors and LEDs

Both power connectors are linked 1-on-1 to the internal power supply of the B5+. If one power supply fails, the other takes over without delay time. When redundancy is not required, it is sufficient to use one power connector. Please note that when using only one power supply, a voltage of max. 0.25 V will exist on the other unconnected power connector, as shown in

Fig. 11

If only one power supply is used, the alarm contact is closed. If two power sources are connected, the contact is open. As soon as one of the power supplies fails, the contact will close and the Power Indicator LED will blink.

Fig. 11 – Maximum voltage on unconnected Power Connecto

For UL certified installations the power supply must comply with the following specifications:

- Limited Power Source (LPS) or NEC Class 2 or CEC Class 2

- Voltage: 12 - 24 VDC

- Current: min 275 mA

- Wire diameter: < 2.5 mm

ProfiHub B5+ / B5+RD User Manual

Procedure To connect the 24V supply to the 2-pin screw-type terminal, proceed as follows:

- Strip the insulation from the cable or the conductors for the 24V power supply.

- Add cable crimp terminals/wire ferrules to the conductors.

- Secure the crimp terminals in the screw-type terminal.

To connect the power supply, you need a 3 mm screwdriver.

Testing If the power is switched on it can be diagnosed by the following indicators:

- LEDs should be blinking in a circular animation for a short time.

- The POWER LED of the respective power connector (1, 2 or both) is ON.

- The READY LED is ON or Blinking, depending on baud rate lock.

2.5 Grounding of the power



lead of the power lead to the Ground Rail of the ProfiHub B5+. Connect the Ground Rail to the common ground with a separate ground lead. See

Fig. 12 - Connection to Ground Rail

It is recommended to use a power supply with a ground lead (3-wire). Connect the ground
