PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

2 Functional Overview

The PROFIBUS Master protocol driver exists as a single port implementation. The driver can be configured as a Class 1 PROFIBUS Master to interface with other PROFIBUS slave devices. The unit is also used for configuration of the nodes on the PROFIBUS network. It provides access to both standard as well as extended diagnostic information and freeze/sync capability. The PROFIBUS master port can be used to continuously interface with PROFIBUS slave devices over a serial communication interface (RS-485).

2.1 About the PROFIBUS Protocol

PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is a widely-used, open-standards protocol created by a consortium of European factory automation suppliers in 1989.

PROFIBUS is a master/slave protocol. The master establishes a connection to the remote slave. When the connection is established, the master sends the PROFIBUS commands to the slave. The PDPM module works as a master only.

The module uses an internal database to pass data and commands between the processor and the client and server devices on the PROFIBUS network.

PROFIBUS supports a variety of network types. The network type supported by the PDPM module is PROFIBUS DP (Device Bus), which is designed for remote I/O systems, motor control centers, and variable speed drives.

2.2 PROFIBUS DP Architecture

The PROFIBUS DP Master network supports multiple Master systems with several slaves.

The following table shows the most important features of PROFIBUS DP Master:

Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

2.2.1 Bus Access

Two different bus access procedures handle the various communication requirements for the PROFIBUS DP Master topology:

 Token Passing  Polling

2.2.2 Token Passing

Token passing ring is the basis for communication between the more complex, active stations. All stations have the same rights in that a token is passed from station to station in a logical ring. The token is passed to each station with a maximum, definable token cycle time. A station is given transmission rights for the duration of time that it has the token.

2.2.3 Master/Slave Polling

Master/slave polling guarantees a cyclic, real-time based data exchange between the station with transmission rights, the active station, and its subordinates, the passive stations. In this case, the Master is able to pass data to the slave and/or receive data. The services in layer 2 (field-bus data link in ISOOSI reference model) organize this communication.

2.3 Communication Types

In addition to point-to-point data transfer, the PROFIBUS protocol can also handle the following types of communication.

 Broadcast communication: An active node sends an unacknowledged

message to all other nodes (Master and slaves)

 Multicast communication (control instructions): An active node sends an

unacknowledged message to a group of nodes (Master and slaves)

2.4 Master/Slave Communication Phases

The communication between the Master and the slaves takes place in the following phases:

 Parameterization and configuration phase  Usable data transfer phase

Before a DP slave can be integrated into the usable data transfer phase, the parameterization and configuration phase runs a device identification test that verifies that the planned configuration matches the actual device configuration for each slave in the PROFIBUS network. The test verifies that:

 The device is actually there  It is the right type of device  The station address set on the device matches the station address in the bus

configuration

 The formats, telegram length information, and bus parameters are correct

and

 The number of configured inputs and outputs is correct

2.5 Module Internal Database

The internal database is central to the functionality of the module. This database is shared between all the ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another network. This permits data from devices on one communication port/network to be viewed and controlled by devices on another port/network. In addition to data from the master port, status and error information generated by the module can also be mapped into the internal database.

The Master driver uses the database in two ways: 1 A read command issued to a slave device by the master driver will return the

slave data into the internal database.

2 A write command issued to a slave device by the master driver uses the data

in the internal database to write to the slave device.

The relationship between the port labeling on the front of the ProLinx module and the application is as follows:

2.7.1 Serial Port Specifications

Note: On all ProLinx modules, data from the application port on the main board, serial Port 0, is not buffered. Packets go directly to and from the serial chipset to the processor. This has the potential to cause the serial communications to become erratic at baud rates above 38,400 baud. ProLinx modules with 4 serial ports have a separate serial interface board for serial Ports 1, 2, and

3. These serial ports are buffered and can handle communications up to 115,200 baud.

3.1 Using the ProLinx SyCon PROFIBUS Configurator

The ProLinx SyCon PROFIBUS is a PROFIBUS-DP configurator that provides an automatic means of configuring a PROFIBUS Master Module. All devices are configured using a single tool which checks dependencies between devices and thereby only allows configurations that make sense.

In addition, ProLinx SyCon documents the fieldbus system. Detailed configuration documentation may be printed out that includes details between the bus topology and the utmost detail of a single device. ProLinx SyCon supports standardized files that contain information about all features and limitations of the slave device and uses these files for configuration.

Lastly, the ProLinx SyCon is equipped with a diagnostic mode that allows viewing of fieldbus status information.

3.1.1 Install ProLinx Sycon Configurator

PROLINX SyCon requires:

 A DVDdrive  486 or better CPU  20Mb of free hard disk space  Minimum 16 Mb RAM  Serial (RS232) Communication Port (COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4)  A screen and graphics card capable of 800x600 resolution  Windows 95, Windows 98, Win NT4 with Service Pack 3 or higher  For Windows 95, minimum Service Pack 1  For Windows NT 4.0, minimum Service Pack 3

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

Note: ProLinx SyCon does not use the OPC server and a license number must be entered in order to complete the installation.

4 Enter the license code and company information when prompted. You will

find the license code in E:\ProLinx\Utilities\Sycon\SyCon\LIC_044.TXT (double-click the filename to open in Notepad.exe)

Page 14 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

The System Installation program automatically launches the PROLINX SyCon installation program. When prompted for components to install, choose Configurator and CIF Device Driver.

GSD Files

Each PROFIBUS-DP manufacturer uses standard device description files to define the PROFIBUS-DP device functionalities on the network. These definitions are called GSD files. The set of device description files (GSD files) build the device database.

PROLINX Devices

The GSD files for PROLINX devices are located on the ProLinx Solutions DVDin the \ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD folder.

Refer to E:\ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD\ProLinx_PDPS\readme.pdf to determine the correct GSD files to use.

To import the ProLinx GSD files:

1 In SyCon, open the File menu, and choose Copy GSD. 2 In the Copy GSD dialog box, navigate to your DVDdrive, and select the path

\ProLinx\Utilities\PDPS_GSD.

3 Press [Ctrl][A] to select all the GSD files in that folder, and then click Open.

4 You will be prompted to import the BMP files that accompany the GSD files.

Click Open to import each of the selected BMP files.

Other Devices

For other devices, these files should be provided and updated by the device manufacturer.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 15 of 70 June 24, 2013

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

You can also get the GSD files from the homepage of the PROFIBUS user association:

http://www.PROFIBUS.com (http://www.profibus.com) For all available configurations, GSD files must be contained in the directory

GSD. During installation of the program PROLINX SyCon, the available files will be included. If you need another GSD file during PROLINX SyCon runtime you have to copy this file with the menu item File - Copy GSD.

The GSD directory path is changeable. To modify it from the default to another path use the menu Settings - Path.

All GSD files have to be present in this directory. The default path for ProLinx SyCon GSD files is

C:\Program Files\HMS\SyCon\Fieldbus\PROFIBUS\GSD

At program startup, PROLINX SyCon automatically reads in all GSD files that are present in the GSD directory. Because of this, device names are placed in an internal list. The device-specific data is taken online directly from the GSD file during the configuration phase.

If you must use a GSD file that is not included in the selection list during the configuration phase, you have to copy the file to the GSD using the File - Copy GSD command. If you use this option or manually copy a file to the directory using Windows Explorer, you must activate the Reread command using the menu Settings - Path and OK acknowledgement.

In the menu Tools - GSD Viewer all GSD files of the directory are shown.

3.1.3 Configuring a PROFIBUS Using PROLINX SyCon

Basic Configuration

ProLinx SyCon configures the PROFIBUS system quickly and easily. Perform the following procedure to configure the PROFIBUS system.

1 Select File - New from the menu. 2 ProLinx SyCon will start the configuration mode and open the window with

The mouse cursor changes automatically to the insert slave cursor. Click on the position where you want to insert the new slave. A dialog box appears where you have to select one or more slaves.

The Available slaves list-box displays all slave devices present in the GSD directory. A filtering feature is available is you want to view by a special slave family. If a slave is selected, information about that slave appears below the Available slaves list box..

With a double click or with the button Add, the slave appears in the right list box. All devices in this box will be connected to the active master displayed in the Master window. You must select each slave one-by-one. You can also give each a device a name or a short description in the Description Field.

The Station address field increments with each addition of a new slave. However, this address may be overwritten.

Note: It is possible to choose one slave several times but each device must have its own station address to distinguish them on the network.

Configuring a Slave

Slave-specific configuration is accomplished using the Slave Configuration dialog box. Here, modules and associated data are assigned to the address of the process data image in the master device. These addresses correspond to the application in the PLC.

Select the menu Settings - DP Slave Configuration or double-click on a slave to open Slave Configuration dialog box.

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

There are two types of DP-slaves; simple and modular. A simple slave has a fixed data length. A modular slave's data length is configurable. This type of slave can be understood as an assembly of one or more simple slaves with one bus address.

The upper table contains all available modules of the slave. In the case of a simple slave, there is only one module that is automatically copied into the lower table by ProLinx SyCon. A modular slave must be copied by the user by doubleclicking on the module or selected module in combination with the Append Module button.

If a module has several inputs or outputs (sub modules), more lines appear in the configuration table. These additional lines will be signed with a higher index in the column Idx. The column Slot counts the modules.

Perform the following steps to configure the modules of the slave: 1 If not already present, select all modules from the upper table and insert them

in the lower table to be configurable.

2 The sequence of the modules in the lower list is important and must

correspond to the real physical slave configuration.

Page 20 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

3 Assign the addresses of the module data in the process image for each

module in the lower table. This is done in the columns Type and Address for input and output separately.

4 The I/O address can be entered by the user or set automatically by ProLinx

SyCon. Therefore the flag Auto Addressing must be set in the window Master Settings. If active, ProLinx SyCon will place all I/O data offsets in physical order. This is done during the download procedure and the assigned addresses can be checked in the Address Table. If the addresses are entered manually the default address 0 in the field I Address respectively O Address must be overwritten.

Note: Offset addresses are entered as a word (16-bit) address.

With the flag Watchdog Control activated it is fixed how the slave will react to the interruption of the communication with the belonging master. Is this flag activated and the slave recognized the interrupted communication over the control interval, the slave will set all outputs to 0 and will set itself into the main mode.

Caution: If Watchdog Control is switched off, possible set outputs will not be reset by the slave, although the communication is broken.

Set_Param (SAP61)

ProSoft PROFIBUS Slave (PDPS) devices have a configurable parameter for SPC3 User Prm Byte. The following illustration shows the value of this parameter in Sycon, the configuration tool for ProLinx PROFIBUS Master devices.

3.1.7 Settings

Device Assignment

PROLINX SyCon is able to configure different devices in a PROFIBUS network. To run the online functions of such a device, it must be defined how PROLINX SyCon can communicate with it. This is done in the menu item Device Assignment.

The external connection can be checked with the buttons Connect COM 1 to Connect COM 4. PROLINX SyCon sends a request on that COM port and asks for the firmware. If there is a Master device connected, the firmware is displayed otherwise there will be a timeout error.

Bus Parameter

For a PROFIBUS DP system with one master, the only parameter that must be selected is the baud rate.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 23 of 70 June 24, 2013

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

The baud rate of the PROFIBUS is common for all bus devices. Changing the baud rate has the consequence that all other parameters will be re-calculated. The System Configurator checks if the baud rate is supported by all configured devices on basis of the entries in the GSD file.

If the System Configurator finds at least one device in the configuration that does not support the selected baud rate, an error message appears. Some parameters can be changed individually by opening the Edit Bus Parameter dialog box. Use the Edit button to look at the actual parameters.

Note that if any changes are made in the bus parameters, the parameter for the field Optimize must be changed from standard to by user.

Caution: Changing the bus parameter individually can force a communication break.

The Highest Station Address is the highest bus address up to which the master will search for other active master stations to pass the send permission. This value should not be set below the master address.

DP Master Settings

The current version of PROLINX SyCon does not allow changing of DP-Master settings. These are the default parameters:

 Watchdog time: 1000 ms  Addressing mode: Word addresses  Storage formats: Big Endian

Parameter Data

User parameter data may be edited in the Parameter Data window by choosing Settings - Parameter Data.

Page 24 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

If default parameters are configured in the GSD file for this slave, they are inserted automatically when the menu is chosen the first time.

Some DP-Slave devices need some further parameterization data to change for example, a measurement limitation or a value range. This data is slave-specific and the functionality cannot be explained at this point.

The explanation can normally be found in the corresponding slave manual. This following dialog box shows an example of parameter data for a slave.

A modular PROFIBUS-DP slave station may need parameter data for one or more modules and for the slave station itself (head station). There are three selections possible:

 Hex: All parameters of the slave are shown in hexadecimal representation  Common: Parameter data of the head station  Module: Parameter data of the separate modules

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 25 of 70 June 24, 2013

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

After selecting the Common button, the following dialog box appears with the common parameter data. These parameters are for the head station.

It is possible to change back into the hexadecimal description by selecting the Hex button.

With a double click on one row of the parameter data, you are able to change the value using the following dialog box.

Page 26 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

The description can also be selected by common adjustment.

If there is more than one module configured, the relevant module must be selected first.

All parameter dialogs are taken from the GSD file. If there is no text dialog, the input is only possible as a hex value.

Group Membership

After a master is chosen, the slaves can be assigned to 8 different groups. These groups can be parameterized using the following dialog box.

Choose Settings, then Group Membership from the menu. Select which group should support the DP-Freeze and DP-Sync command.

The Group Assignment button allows you to assign slaves to with the desired characteristics.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 27 of 70 June 24, 2013

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

The following table shows all configured slave devices from the main editor window. Use this dialog box to assign slaves to selected groups.

The chosen group selection is transferred to the slaves within their startup sequence. The group selection serves as a filter for a special DP command called ´global control´, which can be sent as a broadcast message to selective groups.

This command is normally used by an application program to send the output data Sync and the input data Freeze command.

3.1.13 Saving the Configuration

Choose Save to save the configuration if the configuration has already been saved with a filename, otherwise, use the Save as function to assign the configuration a filename.

3.1.14 Downloading the Configuration

To enable the configuration and network access, the configuration must be downloaded to the master. Choose Online, then Download from the menu. This triggers a warning that the communication on the PROFIBUS will be interrupted. This has to be confirmed.

Before the download is accomplished, the configurator checks the configuration. If any error messages appear, the configuration should be checked. The most common errors are overlapped addresses, which can be located by viewing the Address Table overview.

If slave addressing is performed automatically, chose Auto addressing from the Master Configuration window.

The configuration is transmitted to the selected device and stored into FLASH memory statically. This enables it to be available after the power is switched off and on in the device.

Page 32 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

After the download procedure, the device executes an internal restart and begins with the communication if the start condition in DP Master Settings has been set to Automatic release of the communication by the device.

3.1.15 Online Functions

Starting Debug Mode

Choose Online, then Start Debug Mode from the menu. The system configurator cyclically interrogates the status of the network communication on the master and individual condition of the devices. To end Debug Mode, select Online, then Debug Mode from the menu.

The Debug Window

When the debug session is started, the Configuration Window changes to the Debug window. The devices and the line between them are displayed in green or red color depending on the established network communication.

When the debugger starts, PROLINX SyCon requests the status of all devices from the master. If there is an error on a device, the bus line to this device is drawn in red otherwise it is green.

PROLINX SyCon also displays the letters Diag if the device signals diagnostic information. This information is displayed closer if you click with the mouse onto the corresponding device in debug mode.

Page 34 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

Device Diagnostic

The following example shows a diagnostic dialog box.

Device Diagnostic Descriptions

 Master_Lock

The slave has already been parameterized by another master and is locked. Search for another master on the network and delete its assignment to this slave station, or remove the other assigned master from the network to enable communication with this slave.

 Parameter_Fault

This bit is automatically set by the slave when the parameters sent by the master contain wrong or insufficient data. On every received parameter telegram, the slave executes a check routine on the entire parameter telegram. If the slave detects a faulty parameter value or detects illegal data during its check, it reports the "parameterization error". During the check routine, the slave compares its ident_number with the ident_number sent by the master. If the slave reports this error, compare the real ident_number shown in the slave diagnostic field in debugger mode with the one read out of the GSD-File. Use the View/Device Table menu to view this information. If parameter data is configured in PROLINX SyCon, but the slave does not support it, reduce the parameter data in PROLINX SyCon to a length of zero.

 Invalid_Slave_Response

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 35 of 70 June 24, 2013

Configuration PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Protocol Manual PROFIBUS DP Master

This bit is set by the master when the master receives an invalid answer from the slave. The physical contact to the slave works, but the logical does not or was interrupted. This may occur if a PROFIBUS-FMS slave is connected to the DP-master. The slave does not understand the DP-Telegrams and rejects them. It is handled as "Invalid_Slave_Response".

 Not_Supported

This bit is set by the slave when a function should be performed that is not supported. Newer releases of slave stations normally support the Sync and Freeze Mode for I/O data. This is set in the GSD file, read by PROLINX SyCon, and transferred to the slave in the parameter telegram. If "Not_Supported" is reported, the GSD file declares at least one of these commands as supported, but the slave does not. Ask the manufacturer of the slave device for another GSD file or ask if the slave reports "Not_Supported" on other wrong parameter data.

 Extended_Diag

This bit is set by the slave if optional extended diagnostic data are a containment of the slave diagnostic field. A slave station normally uses extended diagnostic data if module-specific diagnostic information, for example, exceeded analog values or low power should be reported to the master. Click the Extended Diagnostic button to view a Hex-dump of the reported values.

 Configuration_Fault

During the PROFIBUS-DP startup procedure, the slave compares its internal I/O configuration with the one configured in the master. If the slave detects differences, it reports the "Cfg_Fault" error. This indicates that the master has a different I/O module constellation for this slave configured, than the slave device physically holds down. First compare visually all configured I/O modules in the configuration data of PROLINX SyCon for this slave with its real physical constellation. Note that the order of the module is important and should also be compared. Some slaves need virtual I/O modules to be configured first or empty slot modules to get an even number of modules to run. This slave specific I/O module behavior can normally be read out in the slave documentation. Last help to get the slave module constellation is to read out its constellation by a PROFIBUS-DP command Compare Configuration. Click on this button in the diagnostic field and get a HexDump of the real slave configuration data and the configured one (Real Configuration and PROLINX SyCon Configuration). Note that the DPconfiguration data is coded in bit defined byte arrays to hold the I/O information very compressed. The DP configuration is coded in a very compact form. The code for the modules is shown in the slave configuration.

 Station_Not_Ready

When or at which event the slave sets this bit is not defined in the norm specification. The meaning "Not_Ready" can be seen as not ready to perform the I/O data exchange. This may indicate several slave specific reasons. Usually the bit is set in combination with one of the other fault bits.

 Station_Non_Existent

Page 36 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configuration PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

This bit is automatically set by the master if this slave is not responding on the bus. If this error occurs, compare the configured station address with the physical one of the slave. Then ensure that the slave module supports the configured baud rate. Some old modules only support bps rates up to 1.5 Mbps. Other modules must be jumpered to DP-Norm behavior first, to be operative with a DP-Norm master. Then check your bus cable. Only the TX/RX-pins 3<->3 and 8<->8 must be connected to get the contact between two PROFIBUS components.

 Slave_Deactivated

This bit is automatically set by the master if the slave in its parameter set is marked as inactive, in order to be taken out of cyclic I/O processing.

 Sync_Mode

This bit is set by the slave when it has received the sync control command.

 Freeze_Mode

This bit is set by the slave when is has received the freeze control command.

 Watchdog_ON

This bit is set by the DP-slave when its watchdog control is active to supervise its corresponding master connection.

 Static_Diag

The slave sets this bit to indicate that the master system is not operative for I/O due to a general error. In a case of a set static diagnostic bit, the master has to collect diagnostic information as long as this bit is active. On which events or at what time this bit can be set by a slave device is not defined in the norm description.

 Parameter_Req_used

The slave sets this bit to force the master system to do a new parameterization. This bit is set as long as new parameterization must be performed.

 Ext_Diag_Overflow

This bit is set if there is more extended diagnostic information to report to the master than can be given to the master in one DP-diagnostic telegram. The DP-slave sets this bit, for example, if there is more diagnostic channel information than the slave can hold down in its diagnostic buffer.

 Assigned_Master_Address

In this octet, the address of the DP-master that has done the parameterization of the slave is entered. If the DP-slave is not parameterized from any DP-master, the DP-slave puts the address 255 dec here.

 Real_Ident_Number

With the Ident_Number, the slave reports its own unchangeable identification number that was assigned by the PROFIBUS user organization. This identification code can serve in PROLINX SyCon to compare it with the Ident code of the GSD file of the configured slave if a parameterization error is reported.

4 PDPM Protocol Configuration

The following is excerpted from a configuration file showing typical examples of the PROFIBUS Master Port and PROFIBUS Master Command sections of a CFG file for a PDPM port. Shipped with each unit (or available from the web) is a default configuration file that can easily form the basis for a working solution. This file can either be downloaded from the ProSoft web site at www.prosoft-technology.com, or transferred from the module.

#(-1=watchdog not used) Watchdog Timeout : 50 #.1 second intervals for watchdog timeout Watchdog Reset Value : 255 #Value to set Profibus outputs to on #timeout condition

4.1.1 Swap Input Bytes

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the data in the input data area of the module is to be

byte swapped. If the order of the bytes in the words stored in the database is not

correct, use this option. A value of Yes causes the module’s program to swap the

bytes in each word. A value of No indicates no byte swapping will occur.

4.1.2 Swap Output Bytes

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the data in the output data area of the module is to be

byte swapped. If the order of the bytes in the words stored in the database is not

correct, use this option. A value of Yes causes the module’s program to swap the

bytes in each word. A value of No indicates no byte swapping will occur.

4.1.3 Comm Failure Mode

0 or 1 This parameter sets the data transfer mode of the module's PROFIBUS input

image to the internal database when a communication failure on the PROFIBUS interface is detected. If the parameter is set to 0, the input image will continue to be transferred. If the parameter is set to 1, the input image will not be transferred and the last values will be retained.

4.1.4 Watchdog Parameters

Watchdog Register : 1000 #DB register to monitor for change #(-1=watchdog not used) Watchdog Timeout : 50 #.1 second intervals for watchdog timeout Watchdog Reset Value : 255 #Value to set Profibus outputs to on #timeout condition

The watchdog functionality allows the module to set the PROFIBUS output registers to a pre-defined value once a communication failure occurs. The watchdog is implemented through the monitoring of a specific database register (configured through the Watchdog Register parameter). The remote node should write a new value to this database register faster than the timeout period (configured through the Watchdog Timeout parameter). If this time period elapses but no change is detected then the module will force all PROFIBUS output registers to a specific value (configured through the Watchdog Reset Value parameter).

In order to disable this functionality set the Watchdog Register to -1.

4.2 [PROFIBUS Master Commands]

The [PROFIBUS MASTER COMMANDS] section of the CFG file sets the PROFIBUS master port command list. This list polls slave devices attached to a master port. The module supports three commands. This permits the module to interface with a wide variety of PROFIBUS slave devices.

The command list is formatted differently than the other sections of the configuration file. Commands are present in a block between the labels START and END. These labels inform the program where the list resides. The module's program will parse all commands after the START label until it reaches the END label or until the command count entered for the port is reached.

The format of each command in the list is the same with the content dependent on the operation to perform. The following table describes the format and list of PROFIBUS Master functions supported:

Command list example:

[PROFIBUS Master Commands] # Database Register Poll Command Data # Enabled Address Count Interval Node Code Length START 1 600 10 0 3 66 32 1 610 7 0 4 66 32 2 620 0 10 3 254 2 2 0 0 1200 0 254 0 END

5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

The module provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in the following forms:

 LED status indicators on the front of the module provide general information

on the module's status.

 You can view status data contained in the module through the

Configuration/Debug port or the Ethernet port, using the troubleshooting and diagnostic capabilities of ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB).

 You can transfer status data values from the module to processor memory

and can monitor them in the processor manually or by customer-created logic. For details on Status Data values, see Status Data Table.

5.1 LED Indicators

Troubleshooting the operation of the PROFIBUS Master ports can be performed using several methods.

The first and quickest is to scan the LEDs on the module to determine the existence and possible cause of a problem. This section provides insight into the operation of the PROFIBUS Master Port status LEDs. Information on the module’s other LEDs can be found in the ProLinx Reference Guide.

5.2 PROFIBUS Master Error and Status Data

The second and most thorough troubleshooting method for debugging the operation of the PDPM driver (and the module in general) is the powerful Debug port on the module which provides much more complete access to the internal operation and status of the module. Accessing the Debug capabilities of the module is accomplished easily by connecting a PC to the Debug port and loading a terminal program such as ProSoft Configuration Builder or HyperTerminal.

5.2.1 Viewing Error and Status Data

The following topics list the register addresses that contain error and status data. Use the Database View option from the ProLinx Main Menu to view the contents of each register. The ProLinx Reference Guide provides the information on using this option.

5.3 PROFIBUS Master: Error and Status Data

The PROFIBUS Master Error and Status Data register areas are discussed in this section.

The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration). The format of this data area is displayed below:

6.5 Constructing a Bus Cable for PROFIBUS DP

The bus cable for connecting PROFIBUS DP devices must be constructed by the user. A special PROFIBUS cable (twisted pair) is required here. This standard cable is available from various manufacturers and is a Belden part number 3079A.

If you plan to construct your own bus cable, the following part numbers are provided for your convenience.

 PROFIBUS connector: Siemens part number 6ES7972-0BA40-0XA0  PROFIBUS cable: Belden part number 3079A.

To construct the cable, proceed as follows:

1 Cut the cable to the required length. 2 Prepare the cable ends as shown in the illustration (dimensions in mm):

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 61 of 70 June 24, 2013

J PVC Jacket S Braided shielding

3 Remove the PVC jacket J to the indicated length. 4 Wrap the provided copper shielding F around the shield braiding S:

J PVC jacket S Braided shielding F Copper foil shielding

Additional foil can be obtained from 3M.

5 Plug the leads of the corresponding cable(s) into the terminals as shown:

o Green leads in terminal A o Red lead in terminal B

 Note: Do not tighten the corresponding screws yet.

Connection terminal assignment on the PROFIBUS DP:

A Incoming cable B Outgoing cable

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Reference PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

C Connection terminals (only once (B,A)) D Cable cleat for reliving tension E Bus connector screws

6 Attach the cables with the provided cable cleat to create a robust shielded

connection and to relieve any tension as shown:

J PVC Jacket S Braided shielding with foil shielding C Cable cleat

 Note: Half of the cable jacket must lie under the cable cleat!

Pay attention to the cable cleat installation instructions.

7 Fasten the individual wires of the PROFIBUS cable to the terminals 8 Close the connector housing.

 Note: The shielding of both cables is connected internally with the metal housing of the

connector.

9 Complete the Central Shielding Measures (below) and grounding operations

for the shielding before you connect the cable connector to the module.

10 Plug the PROFIBUS DP connector into the module and secure it with the

screws.

Bus Begin and Bus End

The PROFIBUS connector with termination is required at the beginning and the end of the bus. These connectors emulate the line impedance.

It is recommended that at least one connector with diagnostics interface is used.

Wiring diagram for a PROFIBUS DP cable

Grounding and Shielding for Systems with Equipotential Bonding

Each cable shield should be galvanically grounded with the earth using FE/PE grounding clamps immediately after the cable has been connected to the cabinet.

This example indicates the shielding connection from the PROFIBUS cable to the FE/PE rail.

Note: An equalization current can flow across a shield connected at both ends because of fluctuations in ground potential. To prevent this, it is imperative that there is potential equalization between all the attached installation components and devices.

This example indicates the system components and devices in a system with equipotential bonding.

Page 64 of 70 ProSoft Technology, Inc. June 24, 2013

PDPM ♦ ProLinx Gateway Reference PROFIBUS DP Master Protocol Manual

Grounding and Shielding for Systems without Equipotential Bonding

Note: Grounding and shielding is to be carried out the same as for systems with equipotential

bonding.

If this is not possible because of system or construction specific reasons however, use distributed ground with a capacitive coupling of high frequency interference signals.

This representation shows distributed grounding with capacitive coupling.
