Acyclic Data – data read over the acyclic communication channel, and this data could take
several bus scans to be read. The total amount of time that this process takes is random and
therefore acyclic.

Baud Rate – the speed of the network in bits per second.

Class 1 Master – a type of device on a PROFIBUS network and the traditional master in process
control systems. Refers to a Distributed Control System (DCS) or Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).

Class 2 Master – a type of device on a PROFIBUS network and the traditional engineering
work station. An example of a class 2 master is SIMATIC PDM.

Cyclic Data – data that is read in every bus scan. It’s the input and output data used for control
and is time sensitive.

Deterministic – the knowledge that something is going to occur with a fixed time period. This
is a requirement of advanced control systems.

EDD – the Electronic Device Description is a collection of text files describing all the acyclic
data in a field device and how to read and write them. EDDs are used by configuration software
such as SIMATIC PDM to configure field instruments.

EDDL – Electronic Device Description Language is the language that EDDs are written in.
EDDL is an international standard defined in IEC 61804-2 and IEC 61804-3.

Ethernet – Ethernet is a type of physical layer defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard used for
communications in a local area network.

FDT – Field Device Tool is standard program interface (software) for configuring field devices.
FDT uses Device Type Managers to program field devices. FDT software is an alternative to
EDD based software such as SIMATIC PDM.

FDI – Field Device Integration is the evolution of FDT and EDD technology. It is for configuration
of field devices and is based on OPC-UA (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control
– Unified Architecture) and EDD technology.

FF – Foundation Fieldbus is a digital protocol used to configure and troubleshoot field
instruments.

FISCO – Fieldbus Intrinsic Safe Concept. A standard that makes it easy to place FISCO
approved instruments into zone 0 and above environments.

FNICO – Fieldbus Non-Incendive Concept. A similar standard to FISCO. It is makes it easy to
place FISCO approved instruments into zone 2 environments.

Full-duplex – Full-duplex refers to a communication link that is bi-directional allowing for both
devices to talk and listen at the same time.

GSD – General System Data (or Generic Slave Description) is a text file in PROFIBUS and a
XML file in PROFINET defining all the protocol information and cyclic data of a field device. It
is used by the network configuration software to identify the slave and to set up the data
exchanged between the master and the slave during cyclic data exchange. GSD was also
originally the German acronym for Gerätestammdaten.

Definitions

Gateway – A gateway is a device that joins two different networks together. For example, to
connect a Modbus device to a PROFIBUS network, a Profibus to Modbus gateway is needed.

HART – Highway Addressable Remote Transducer is an industrial protocol used to configure
and troubleshoot field instruments. It is often considered a transition between the 4–20mA
technology and full digital technology since it uses both.

IEC – International Electrical Congress is an international standards organization committed
to creating and maintaining international and open standards for use in the electrical industries.

I/O-Controller – A type of device on a PROFNET network and the traditional master in process
control systems. Refers to a Distributed Control System (DCS) or Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).

I/O-Device – A type of device on PROFINET that provides input data or realizes output data
into the real world.

I/O-Supervisor – A type of device on a PROFINET network and the traditional engineering
work station. An example is SIMATIC PDM.

ISA – Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society is a world wide organization that
develops standards, certifies industry professionals, provides education and training,
publishes books and technical articles, and hosts conferences and exhibitions.

Interchangeability – The ability to switch from one vendor’s device to another vendor’s similar
device. Interchangeability is a key benefit of PROFIBUS Profile standard.

Intrinsically Safe – An intrinsically safe device keeps the voltage and current low enough so
that it cannot generate a spark of sufficient energy to ignite the gas/particles in the atmosphere
making it safe for use.

Interoperability – The ability to connect different devices from different manufacturers on the
same network and have them work correctly. This is a core strength of PROFIBUS.

Managed Switch – A type of switch that provides additional advanced diagnostics.

Master – A type of device on PROFIBUS that controls communication to slave devices. One
PROFIBUS network can have several Masters on it, and they share communications by using
a token ring protocol.

MBP – Manchester encoded Bus Powered. This is the physical layer defined in IEC-61158-2
that is used for PROFIBUS PA

MBP-IS – This is the same physical layer as MBP, with the addition of power limiters on the
power supply so that the power draws will not exceed those defined for intrinsically safe
operation.

Modem – This is a device that translates a signal from one transmission technology to another.
For example an optical modem converts an electrical signal into light and then back again.

Physical Layer – Refers to medium used to get the ones and zeros from point A to point B.
This layer of the protocol is all about wires and voltage and current levels.

PROFIBUS – Process Fieldbus. Automation communication protocol designed to meet all
industrial and process communication needs.

PROFIBUS DP – DP stands for Decentralized Peripheral and was designed for remote input
output devices. This forms the core protocol of PROFIBUS. If PROFIBUS were a book, it would
be called PROFIBUS DP.

PROFidrive – A chapter in the PROFIBUS book or PROFINET book that adds functions to the
core protocol for high speed drive applications.

PROFIsafe – A chapter in the PROFIBUS book or PROFINET book that adds functions to the
core protocol for safety applications.

PROFIBUS PA – A chapter in the PROFIBUS book or PROFINET book that adds functions to
the core protocol for process control applications. PA refers to Process Automation.

PROFINET – A second book by the same authors as PROFIBUS. PROFINET is an Ethernet
based protocol that makes use of many sections of the PROFIBUS protocol and make optimal
use of Ethernet.

Profile – A profile is a standardization of a field device from the bus point of view. It defines the
output and the core device parameters.

Protocol – Refers to a set of rules. In industrial communications, it simply refers to a set of
rules defining how something is done. For example, how to get information from point A to
point B. Since one set of rules can be made up of many different sets of rules, one protocol
can be made up of different sub-protocols.

Proxy – A type of gateway defined in PROFINET which, aside from joining two networks
together, also defines how the date is set as well. Think of it as a very easy-to-use gateway.

Slave – A type of device on PROFIBUS that will only talk on the network after a Master device
has requested information.

Switch – A device that directs the traffic on an Ethernet network. It reads the incoming packet
and directs it to the correct port where the target device is located.

TCO – Total Cost of Ownership is a financial term used in asset management referring to all
the costs associated with ownership. In process automation, it is the sum of the cost of the
device plus the cost of commissioning plus the cost of maintaining the device.

Token Ring – A type of protocol using a virtual token that is passed from master to master.
The master can only talk on the bus when it has the token. When it is has finished talking on
the bus, the master passes the token onto another master.
