The field bus interface PFA is used in conjunction with the pre-wired module subrack BGT for interworking of burner control units PFU to industrial communication networks using PROFIBUS DP to control and monitor burners in industrial furnaces and firing systems, e.g. in the iron and steel, glass and ceramics, or plastics and chemical industries. As a standardized fieldbus system, the PROFIBUS DP considerably reduces development, installation and commissioning costs compared to conventional wiring. In module subrack BGT, up to nine burner control units can be inserted together with the PFA 700,...

A maximum of 126 units (masters and slaves) can be connected to a PROFIBUS DP system. Each station is assigned an individual PROFIBUS address which can be set between 0 and 126 using two code switches on the PFA board. All devices are connected in a bus structure (line). Up to 32 stations (masters or slaves) can be connected in a single segment. The beginning and end of each segment is fitted with an active bus terminator. Both bus terminators must have a permanent power supply to ensure error-free operation. The power supply for the bus terminator is provided by the PFA. The bus terminator can...

3.7 Configuration When planning a PROFIBUS DP system, unit-specific parameters of each station are to be taken into account. To allow for simple and standardized planning, the parameters of the PFA have been summarized in a so-called device master data file (GSD). The file structure is standardized so that it can be read by the planning devices of different manufacturers. The GSD file is supplied on a CD with the PFA. The GSD file can also be ordered at www.docuthek.com. The steps required to copy the file are described in the instructions for the automation system. 3.7.1 Bus communication Input/output...
