Profius Messaging Profibus offers both polling and peer-to-peer communication. Profibus DP is a polling network. Its assigned master periodically requests the status of each node, ensuring that each device on the network which can send up to bytes per scan is updated consistently and reliably. ach message contains up to bytes of overhead for a maximum message length of5 bytes.

PROFIBUS SYSTEM OERIE

Profibus is a standardied global open network communication systemthat boasts one of the largest installed system bases, with well over,, devices being installed to date, covering many areas of modernfactory automation. Profibus DP permits Mono-master or Multi-master systems, which provides a high degree of flexibility during system configurations. Profibus allows all automation devices, sensors, actuators, PLC’s, etc to communicate with each other over a single bus.Profibus DP offers the user an open standard per N5. This means theuser has a great deal of choice from leading manufacturers and is able to choose the right product for the application.Profibus DP has been developed for high-speed communication and fastcyclic updates up to Mbits per second the system offers response times less than ms per I/O points.Profibus devices all have different performance characteristics. Features dif-fer in regard to the available functionality i.e. the number of I/O diagnostic messages available or possible bus parameters such as baud rates. These parameters are usually documented in the technical specification manual. In order to achieve a simple plug-and-play configuration of Profibus, the characteristics are specified in an electronic data sheet called a device database, or SD file. Standardied SD dataexpand open communication up to the operator control level. Using configuration tools based on SD files makes integration of devices from different vendors in a bus system simple and very user friendly. Addressing Profibus DP supports up to nodes that can be addressed. The Brad
® Profibus DP I/O module allows up to 99 addresses and will indicate a communicationerror if a module is given a duplicate address. Software node commissioning can be accomplished through rotary switches. The addressing is performedmanually by setting two rotary switches located under the IP protective caps. Power must be cycled to a module when its address is changed.The Profibus DP network allows the use of repeaters. hen repeaters are used they must be assigned an appropriate address. Addressing must be completed prior to commissioning. All Profibus I/O modules are supported by SD files, which are specifically formatted files containing detailed deviceinformation. Information that is found in the SD file includes how to configure the module, module description, I/O characteristics, and the module’sconfigurable parameters.

COMMUNICATION RATE ADDRESSING

Counication Rate Profibus supports data rates from 9 to Mbits/second. Slave stations all have automatic baud rate adustment. Data transmission rates are governedby the length of the bus network as shown in the following table MAIMUM RATINGS TRANSMISSION SPEEDBUS SEGMENTREPEATERSNODESBAUD RATEBUS LINE LENGTMA NUMBERMA NUMBER 9. bpsm ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS9. bpsm ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS9.5m ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS.5 bpsm ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS5 bps m ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS.5 Mbps m ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS Mbps m ITHOUT PATS, ITH PATS
