The FLEX I/O system is a small, modular I/O system for distributed
applications that performs all of the functions of rack-based I/O. The FLEX I/O
system contains the following components:
• PROFIBUS adapter/power supply – powers the internal logic for as many
as eight I/O modules

Purpose of the FLEX I/O
PROFIBUS
APBDPV1 Adapter
The 1794-APBDPV1 module is a FLEX I/O communications adapter that
interacts with the FLEX I/O backplane and any PROFIBUS DP master/scanner
controller on a PROFIBUS DP network.
The 1794-APBDPV1 module is a slave device to the DP master/scanner, and is a
master controller of the FLEX I/O system where it is installed. The I/O data
exchange occurs as follows: Output data is sent from the DP master/scanner
controller across the PROFIBUS DP network to the 1794-APBDPV1 adapter.
The adapter then automatically transfers the data across the FLEX I/O backplane
to the output modules. Inputs from the input modules are collected by the FLEX
I/O adapter via the backplane and sent across the PROFIBUS DP network to the
DP master/scanner controller.
Differences Between APB
and APBDPV1 Adapters
This section describes the differences between the 1794-APB FLEX I/O
PROFIBUS and the 1794-APBDPV1 FLEX I/O PROFIBUS APBDPV1
adapter modules.
DP-V1 Protocol
The FLEX I/O PROFIBUS APBDPV1 adapter uses a newer version of
PROFIBUS DP (DP1) protocol whereas the The FLEX I/O PROFIBUS
APB adapter uses the first generation PROFIBUS DP protocol (DP-0).
Functionality
The FLEX I/O PROFIBUS APBDPV1 adapter features Identification &
Maintenance (I&M) functions. These functions specify how certain device
describing data must be unambiguously stored in PROFIBUS devices essentially
enabling easy access to current information on the device. The adapter also
supports newer HART modules than the The FLEX I/O PROFIBUS APB
adapter.

Bandwidth and Range
The FLEX I/O PROFIBUS APB adapter baud-rate is now 12 MBd and,
although the physically PROFIBUS address range is still limited to 1..99, the
logical address range is 1..126.
PROFIBUS APBDPV1
Adapter Components
The adapter module consists of the following components:
• two diagnostic indicators
•PROFIBUS DP network connector
• 24V DC power wiring connection terminals
• two node address switches
Diagnostic Indicators
Diagnostic indicators are located on the front panel of the adapter module. They
show both normal operation and error conditions in your FLEX I/O system. The
indicators are:
• Device status (STATUS)
• Communication link status (PROFIBUS)
Upon power-up, the adapter goes to an initialization state and performs a self-test
(memory check, data memory clear, CRC on code). The indicators also go
through a self-test sequence. If a failure occurs, the adapter transitions to a faulted
state and waits for reset (cycle power). Otherwise, the adapter begins monitoring
the network (run state) for messages.
Network Connector
Use the 9-pin SUB-D connector to connect your adapter to the PROFIBUS
network.

Communication Over the I/O Backplane9
Polled I/O Structure10
Map Data into the Image Table12
Defaults68
One 1794-APBDPV1 PROFIBUS adapter can interface with up to eight
terminal base units with installed FLEX I/O modules, forming a FLEX I/O
system of up to eight slots. The adapter communicates to other network system
components over the PROFIBUS network. The adapter communicates with its
I/O modules over the backplane.
The I/O map for a module is divided into read words and write words. Read
words consist of input and status words, and write words consist of output and
configuration words. The number of read words or write words can be 0 or more.
The length of each I/O module’s read words and write words vary in size
depending on module complexity. Each I/O module will support at least 1 input
word or 1 output word. Status and configuration are optional, depending on
the module.

Polled I/O Structure
The first word of output data received by the adapter is the Adapter Status Word.
Output data is received by the adapter in the order of the installed I/O modules.
The Output data for Slot 1 is received first, followed by the Output data for
Slot 2, and so on up to slot 8. All bits in the output status word are reserved.
The first word of input data sent by the adapter is the Adapter Status Word. This
is followed by the input data from each slot, in the order of the installed I/O
modules. The Input data from Slot 1 is first after the status word, followed by
Input data from Slot 2, and so on up to slot 8.

Adapter Input Status Word
The input status word consists of:

Input Status
Possible causes for an I/O module fault are:
• transmission errors on the FLEX I/O backplane
• a failed module
• a module removed from its terminal base
• an incorrect module inserted in a slot position
• an empty slot
The node address changed bit is set when the node address switch setting has
been changed since power up. The new node address does not take effect until
the adapter has been powered down and then powered back up. Until this power
cycling occurs, the node address switches will not match the actual node address.
