1.3 Setting Port 0 Configuration Jumpers
Before installing the module on the DIN rail, you must set the jumpers for the Port
0 application port.
Note: Ethernet-only ProLinx modules do not use the serial port jumper settings. The serial
configuration jumper settings on an Ethernet-only module have no effect.
Note: The presence of Port 0 depends on the specific combination of protocols in your ProLinx
module. If your module does not have a Port 0, the following jumper settings do not apply.
Port 0 is preconfigured for RS-232. You can move the port configuration jumper
on the back of the module to select RS-485 or RS-422.
The following illustration shows the jumper positions for Port 0:

The PROFIBUS slave protocol driver may exist in a single port implementation.
The driver can be configured as a slave interface with other PROFIBUS devices.
The PROFIBUS slave port can be used to continuously interface with other
PROFIBUS 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 PDPS module works as a slave 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 PDPS module is PROFIBUS DP (Device Bus), which is designed for remote
I/O systems, motor control centers, and variable speed drives.

Important Note: The slave node address is set to 126 by default in the module configuration file
(page 21). The default node address must be changed to a valid address between 0 to 125 by the
user for the slave to function on the PROFIBUS network.

2.3 Module Internal Database
Central to the functionality of the module is the internal database. 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 slave port, status and error information generated by the module can
also be mapped into the internal database.
2.3.1 PROFIBUS Slave Port Access to Database
The Slave driver uses the database in two ways:
1 A read command issued to a slave device by the slave driver will return the
slave data into the internal database.
2 A write command issued to a slave device by the slave driver uses the data in
the internal database to write to the slave device
Besides the standard PROFIBUS interface reserved Database range from word
0 to word 399, the PDPS driver recognizes a special command code in the
PROFIBUS protocol that causes the PDPS driver to write to, or read from the
Database range word 400 to word 3999. This feature opens up to the user the
whole capacity of the PDPS module's Database.
To use the Database Paging functionality in the PDPS driver the following three
items must be implemented.
1 Enable the paging feature in the PDPS module's configuration file under the
[Profibus Slave] section, set Use Database Paging : Y.
2 In PROFIBUS Master module's configuration the PROFIBUS Slave must be
set to 100 Input Words and 100 Output Words.
