PROFIBUS system overview
Introduction
PROFIBUS is the successful open fieldbus that can be used
for fast and cost-effective production in a wide area of
applications.
Distributed automation structures are the prerequisite for
such flexible manufacturing. Connecting production areas
with local networks secures the information flow necessary
for this.
PROFIBUS is a bus system for process and field communication
in cell networks with few stations and with field devices, as
well as for data communication in accordance with
IEC 61158/61784.
Automation devices such as PLCs, PCs, HMI devices, sensors or
actuators can communicate via a standardized bus.
This allows the use of a wide range of PROFIBUS products from
Siemens and other manufacturers for solving automation
tasks. These products can be operated together in a PROFIBUS
network.
PROFIBUS thus offers openness for connecting standard com-
ponents from other manufacturers.
Part of TIA
Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) stands for an integrated
range of products and systems for automation in all areas
from incoming goods, through the production process to the
dispatch of goods, from the field level, through the produc-
tion control level to the connection to the corporate manage-
ment level:
An integrated software tool set supports all project phases,
from the selection of hardware, programming and opera-
tion, to diagnostics and maintenance.
The tools access a common database.
This saves input costs and ensures project-wide consis-
tency.
Outstanding features
PROFIBUS is a powerful, open, and rugged bus system that
offers trouble-free communication.
The system is fully standardized, which enables simple con-
nection of standardized components from a variety of
manufacturers.
Configuration, commissioning, and troubleshooting can
be carried out from any location. This results in user-
defined communication relationships that are very versa-
tile, simple to implement, and easy to change.
Investment security through continuous compatible
further development.
Network components for use in harsh industrial environ-
ments.
Fast assembly and startup on site with the help of the
FastConnect wiring system.
Continuous monitoring of network components through a
simple and effective signaling concept.
High security of investment since existing networks can be
extended without any adverse effects.
High availability through ring redundancy with the active
OLM network component.
Fail-safe communication with PROFIsafe.
High levels of operational reliability and plant availability
thanks to different diagnostics options.

Communication functions
Process or field communication (PROFIBUS PA, PROFIBUS DP)
is used to link field devices to a programmable controller,
HMI system or control system.
Interfacing is performed over integrated interfaces on the CPU
or through interface modules (IMs) and communications pro-
cessors (CPs).
With modern high-performance automation systems it is
often more effective to link more than one PROFIBUS DP line
to one automation system, not just to increase the number
of I/O stations that can be connected, but also to enable indi-
vidual production areas to be handled independently
(segmentation).
PROFIBUS standardized to IEC 61158/61784 is a high-perfor-
mance, open, and rugged fieldbus system with short response
times and the following protocols:
PROFIBUS DP (distributed I/O)
is used to connect distributed I/Os, e.g. SIMATIC ET 200,
with extremely fast response times in accordance with the
IEC 61158/61784 standard.
PROFIBUS PA (Process Automation)
extends PROFIBUS DP with intrinsically safe transmission
technology in accordance with the standard IEC 61158-2.

PROFIBUS system overview
Introduction
General overview of PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is used to connect field devices, such as distributed
I/O devices or drives, to automation systems such as SIMATIC
S7 and S7mEC, PC-based controllers, WinAC, SIMOTION,
SINUMERIK, or SIMATIC IPCs.
PROFIBUS is standardized in accordance with IEC 61158/
61784 and is a powerful, open and rugged fieldbus system
with short response times. PROFIBUS is available in different
forms for various applications.
PROFIBUS DP
(distributed I/O)
PROFIBUS DP is used for connecting distributed field devices,
e.g. SIMATIC ET 200, or drives with extremely fast response
times. PROFIBUS DP is used when sensors/actuators are dis-
tributed at the machine or in the plant (e.g. field level).
The actuators and sensors are connected to the field devices.
The field devices are supplied with output data in accordance
with the master/slave technique and transfer input data to the
controller or industrial PC.
Openness all along the line
Thanks to the openness of PROFIBUS DP, standard-compliant
components from different manufacturers can also be con-
nected.
The IEC 61158/61784 standards provide future protection for
your investment.
Member companies worldwide offer the most diverse prod-
ucts with PROFIBUS DP interface for the field area.
Siemens has a full product range of standard and fail-safe con-
trollers, network components, communication software, and
field devices.
And for field device manufacturers we offer everything to do
with the PROFIBUS DP interface, such as ASICs, training, certi-
fication, and much more.
PROFIsafe
permits standard and safety-related communication on one
and the same bus cable. It is an open solution for safety-
related communication over standard buses and uses the
PROFIBUS services.

Isochronous mode
The CPU, I/O and user program are synchronized with the
PROFIBUS cycle. The "isochronous mode" function is
supported by the CPUs of SIMATIC S7-400, SIMOTION,
SINUMERIK and servo drives. The drives are controlled using
the PROFIdrive profile.
PROFIBUS PA
(process automation)
PROFIBUS PA extends PROFIBUS DP with intrinsically safe
transmission of data and power (e.g. transducers in the food
processing industry) in accordance with the international
standard IEC 61158-2 (same protocol, different physical
properties).
PROFIBUS FMS
(Fieldbus Message Specification)
PROFIBUS FMS is used for data communication between auto-
mation systems of different manufacturers. This enables pre-
cise, distributed implementation of general closed-loop con-
trol and measuring tasks.

Application options
Factory automation
It is possible to use PROFIBUS DP in, for example, the food
and beverages industry, to implement production lines with
variable speeds or options for controlling the plant during
operation.
Many variables have to be flexible in order to allow fault-free pro-
duction. Plant availability is becoming increasingly important.
Downtimes caused by repairs are usually more expensive than
the appropriate monitoring of systems for wear or possible
faults.
With the aid of high-performance components in the communi-
cation, for example, errors can be located and reported quickly.
Process automation
Process automation has high performance and reliability re-
quirements and demands simple and safe operation of plants.
PROFIBUS PA uses the intrinsically safe transmission techno-
logy specified in the international IEC 61158-2 standard. This
allows field devices to be integrated into the hazardous zone.
The basis for this is PROFIBUS DP that has been expanded for
intrinsically-safe operation. The acyclic communication servic-
es of PROFIBUS DP/PA allow online access to device parame-
ters, that is, the process control systems have direct access to
the actual status of the field device data and to the status and
diagnostics messages.
Using PROFIBUS DP/PA, the field devices become an integral
component of the company-wide automation concept from
open-loop and closed-loop control right up to asset manage-
ment, including spare parts management and warehouse
management.
Building automation
The networking of large buildings or parts of buildings allows
centralized or distributed access to all stations.
Electrical installation systems are found not only in residential
and non-residential buildings but also in every industrial plant.
Most devices and also many building systems such as lighting,
heating, air conditioning, fans, blinds, or access controls are
operated almost without exception with electric power.
These systems, just like those in industrial automation, must
be regulated, controlled, and monitored.

PROFIBUS system overview
Networking options electrical networks
The electrical network uses a shielded, twisted pair cable.
The RS485 interface works with voltage differences. It is
therefore less sensitive to interference than a voltage or cur-
rent interface.
With PROFIBUS, the stations are connected to the bus via a bus
terminal or a bus connector (max. 32 stations per segment).
The electrical network can be configured as a bus or tree struc-
ture. The individual segments are connected via repeaters.
The transmission rate can be set in steps from 9.6 Kbit/s to
12 Mbit/s in accordance with IEC 61158/61784.
The maximum segment length depends on the transmission
rate.
For applications in the intrinsically-safe area the transmission
technology compliant with IEC 61158-2 is used with
PROFIBUS PA. The transmission rate in this case is 31.25 Kbit/s.
Features of the electrical network
Transmission method in accordance with IEC 61158/61784
for universal automation (PROFIBUS FMS/DP), and in accor-
dance with IEC61158-2 for the intrinsically-safe area
(PROFIBUS PA)

Networking options optical networks
Network configuration of optical PROFIBUS with OLMs
The optical network uses fiber-optic cables as the transmis-
sion medium. The fiber-optic cable is provided with a coating.
The term "fiber" is often also used for fiber-optic cables (FOC).
Optical networks are especially suitable for long ranges. There
is a choice between plastic, PCF or glass fiber-optic cables.

FastConnect for electrical bus cables
The FastConnect stripping technology facilitates swift and
simple connection of PROFIBUS connectors to the PROFIBUS
cables.
The special design of the FastConnect bus cables permits the
use of the FastConnect stripping tool, with which the outer
sheath and the braided shield can be removed to measure in
one operation. Cables prepared in this way are attached to the
FastConnect bus connectors using the insulation displace-
ment method.
The system comprises three components that are coordinated
with one another:
FastConnect bus cables for quick assembly
FastConnect stripping tool
FastConnect bus connector for PROFIBUS
The PROFIBUS FastConnect bus cables can also be connected
to the conventional bus connectors.
Advantages of the FastConnect system
Reduction of the connection times of terminals by
removing the outer sheath and braided shield in one
operation

SpliTConnect for fieldbus systems is used for constructing
fieldbus segments as per IEC 61158-2 (e.g. PROFIBUS PA) with
field device interface points.
The bus cable is easy to assemble thanks to the FastConnect
system (FastConnect stripping tool, FC Process Cable compli-
ant with IEC 61158-2).
The FC Process Cable is stripped as with FastConnect.
Additional grounding of the SpliTConnect Tap can be imple-
mented using a contacting screw.
The terminal devices can be connected using the FC Process
Cable in accordance with IEC 61158-2 or the SpliTConnect
M12 Outlet/M12 Jack. The SpliTConnect Coupler can be used
to construct a PROFIBUS PA hub by connecting SpliTConnect
Taps in series.
By replacing the contacting screw with the SpliTConnect
Terminator, the SpliTConnect Tap can be used as a bus termi-
nating element.
Advantages of SpliTConnect
The connection times of terminals are reduced by
fast and easy removal of the outer sheath and
braided shield in one operation
Simple assembly operations thanks to preset FC

Active network components
Electrical network
Bus connector
The RS485 bus connectors for PROFIBUS are used for connect-
ing a PROFIBUS station or a PROFIBUS network component to
the bus cable for PROFIBUS.
There are different versions of the bus connectors in sub D,
RJ45 or M12 connection technology that are optimized for the
devices to be connected.
Bus terminals
The PROFIBUS bus terminals enable connection of a bus node
to a PROFIBUS network.
Different versions are available:
Up to 1.5 Mbit/s: RS485 bus terminal
Up to 12 Mbit/s: 12M bus terminal
The bus terminals have a prepared device connection for
PROFIBUS stations. Stations are connected to PROFIBUS net-
works by simply connecting sub D connectors to the spur line.
Multi-point connections can be implemented by directly lining
up several bus terminals (up to 32 stations per segment) at
bus terminal 12M.
Active terminating element
The active RS485 terminating resistor is used to terminate bus
segments. Power supply is independent of the bus stations.
Separately from the other I/O components, the terminating
resistor is supplied with a permanent voltage or with a voltage
switched from the I/O. By terminating the bus system, the sta-
tions (e.g. ET 200M/S) can be freely connected and discon-
nected without malfunctions.
Repeater RS485
The RS485 repeater with IP20 connects two PROFIBUS or MPI
bus segments in RS485 technology with up to 32 stations, in-
cluding repeaters. It enables transfer rates from 9.6 Kbit/s to
12 Mbit/s (including 45.45 Kbit/s for PROFIBUS PA).
The repeater is used for:
Increasing the number of stations (up to 127) and
expansion
Galvanic isolation of segments
Regeneration of the signals in amplitude and time

Diagnostics repeater
STEP 7 or COM PROFIBUS prompts the diagnostics repeater to
determine the topology of the bus system and saves it in the
internal diagnostics memory.
If a fault occurs, the repeater automatically transmits a stan-
dard diagnostic message to the bus master with the following
information:
Affected segment
Fault location (e.g. between station X and Y)
Distance of the fault location from station X or Y as well as
from the repeater in meters
Type of fault
The following faults are diagnosed:
Break in data lines A, B
Data-line-to-shield short circuit
Bus terminating resistor missing
Sporadic errors are also detected. The error messages are
displayed graphically in STEP 7. They are completely inte-
grated into the SIMATIC system diagnostics (e.g. overview
diagnostics, "Report system error" function).
Power Rail Booster
The Power Rail Booster enables a PROFIBUS DP connection via
contact conductors as used, for example, on suspended
monorail conveyors or high-bay storage and retrieval systems.
The diverse PROFIBUS DP system capabilities, such as diagnos-
tics and PROFIsafe safety engineering over the bus, can con-
tinue to be used.
BT 200 hardware tester
The PROFIBUS line can be tested during the installation phase
with the BT 200 tester. Installation errors are found quickly
and simply and the installation engineer requires no special
knowledge of PROFIBUS.
Even before commissioning of the plant it is possible to test
the RS485 interface of the PROFIBUS DP slave with the BT 200.
Outputting a list of accessible slaves on the pre-wired bus is
also possible, and this without a master on PROFIBUS DP.

Optical network
Optical Link Module OLM
With the PROFIBUS OLM (Optical Link Modules), optical
PROFIBUS networks can be established in linear, star and re-
dundant ring topologies. The transfer rate of a fiber-optic line
is independent of the distance and can be up to 12 Mbit/s.
Possible applications for OLMs include:
System buses based on PROFIBUS
Networking between buildings using glass fiber-optic cable
Mixed networks with electrical and optical segments
Networks covering a wide area
(road tunnels, traffic control systems)
Networks with high availability requirements
(redundant ring networks)
OLM/G12-EEC for outdoor use at temperatures as low
as -20 C
OBT optical bus terminal
The OBT (Optical Bus Terminal) is used to connect a
PROFIBUS DP station without integral optical interface or an
existing RS485 bus segment to an optical line. It thus opens
up the benefits of optical data transfer for existing DP devices
or network segments in combination with devices possessing
an integral optical interface (e.g. ET 200S FO).
The OBT is also used as the "socket outlet" for connecting
mobile devices (e.g. programming devices) without interrupt-
ing the bus.
The PROFIBUS DP station is connected to the RS485 interface
of the OBT via a cable terminated at both ends, e.g. 830-1T
connecting cable . The OBT is integrated into the optical line
using two optical interfaces.
The following optical transmission media can be connected to
the OBT:
Plastic fiber-optic cable
pre-assembled with 2 2 Simplex connectors, max. 50 m
PCF fiber-optic cable
pre-assembled with 2 2 Simplex connectors, max. 300 m.
Benefits
Automatic detection of all PROFIBUS data rates:
9.6 Kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s including 45.45 Kbit/s
(PROFIBUS PA).
High availability due to media redundancy.
The distance between two OLMs in the redundant ring
is only limited by the optical range of the modules.
RS485 interface with segment capability
(sub D socket)
Unrestricted multi-master operation:
Expanded segmentation functions for localization of
faults on fiber-optic and RS485 segments
Fast localization of faults:
Indication of module status through floating
signaling contact
Checking the fiber-optic cable route quality:
Measurement output for optical receiver for log-
ging and validity checking of the fiber-optic
path attenuation with a voltmeter
Signaling of the fault at its location of origin, no
indication of secondary faults
High cascading depth: Line and redundant ring up to
124 OLM (only limited by monitoring times)
Large range due to use of glass fiber-optic cables in
lengths of up to 15 km
PROFIBUS OLM PROFIBUS OBT
Benefits
Existing devices with electrical interface can be con-
nected to new optical networks, as can existing bus
segments
Low-cost solution for simple optical networking
Time savings thanks to simple and fast assembly of
the fiber-optic cable connectors directly on-site.

Network transitions 23
Network transitions between one bus system and another are
implemented using links, controllers (PLCs) or PCs.
In the case of PLCs or IPCs, this takes place via integrated in-
terfaces and communications processors (CPs). Links pass the
data through from one network to another without additional
links.
Links are independent components that form the seamless
transition between the various bus systems, e.g. between
Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS. For example, HMI systems
can gain easy access from Industrial Ethernet to field devices
on the PROFIBUS or on the AS-Interface.
This enables implementation of vertical integration from the
control level to the field level.
The following links are available:
IE/PB Link PN IO
for the transition from Industrial Ethernet to PROFIBUS
IWLAN/PB Link PN IO
for the transition from IWLAN to PROFIBUS
DP/AS-i LINK Advanced, DP/AS-i F LINK and DP/AS Interface
Link 20E for the transition from PROFIBUS to AS-Interface
The proxy concept simplifies integration of existing fieldbus
systems with high transparency.
On Industrial Ethernet, the proxy represents one or more
fieldbus devices (e.g. on PROFIBUS). It ensures transparent
conversion of the communication between the networks
(no tunneling of the protocols), and forwards the cyclic data,
for example, to the fieldbus devices.
As PROFIBUS master, the proxy coordinates data exchange
between the PROFIBUS stations. At the same time, it is an
Ethernet station with PROFINET communication. Proxies can
be implemented as controllers or purely as network transi-
tions. The same principle is applied when integrating
AS-Interface systems.
As well as wired proxies on Industrial Ethernet, SIMATIC NET
also offers proxies with Industrial Wireless LAN connection.

Communications processors for SIMATIC 24
Communications processors for SIMATIC
CPs for SIMATIC S7
The SIMATIC NET communications processors can be used for
applications in factory or process automation. Thanks to their
openness in accordance with international standards,
different components are able to work with each other. They
are characterized in particular by their ruggedness in the in-
dustrial environment.
Effectiveness and efficiency are essential in the case of solu-
tion concepts for plant components of automation tasks. This
means that very high demands are imposed on the communi-
cation performance with regard to data rates. Thanks to their
protocol preprocessing, the communications processors
maintain a constant data throughput. At a stable high level,
they offer fast response times and rule out any fluctuations in
communication performance.
The CPs perform communication tasks for the terminals and
only take up few of their resources.
The PLC as an element of communication
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are of key importance
in the world of automation. And industrial communication
forms the nerve center in this respect. The CPs for PLCs adopt
a key role in industrial communication.
SIMATIC NET increases availability by means of modular, net-
worked subsystems, as in the case of electrical supply, which
also takes place in individual circuits.
Communications processors for SIMATIC S7
The communications processors are all designed for use in
rough industrial environments with a wide range of tempera-
tures. The communications processors are also certified for
marine use (e.g. ABS), enabling them to be used on ships or
offshore installations.
The CPs feature S7 communication (client, server, multi-
plexing), open communication (SEND/RECEIVE) and PG/OP
communication as standard.
The CPs offer the following advantages
CPs for SIMATIC, e.g. SIMATIC S7-300/-400

processors connect SIMATIC S7-300 to PROFIBUS and
CP 443-5 Basic and Extended connect SIMATIC S7-400 to
PROFIBUS. They are PROFIBUS DP masters or slaves, or
PROFIBUS FMS masters with an electrical or optical interface
up to 12 Mbit/s.
The communications processors are easy to configure and can
be programmed using PROFIBUS.
They offer cross-network PG communication using S7 routing,
and can be replaced with the need for a programming device.
The PROFIBUS communications processors for SIMATIC
offer the following advantages:
Expansion of the process I/O to SIMATIC S7-300 using
several PROFIBUS interfaces
Flexible use of the process I/O by means of dynamic activa-
tion of DP slaves
Sub-process-oriented design of an automation solution
through the use of several CPs

Communications processors for PG/PC
CPs for programming device/PC
For the implementation of flexible production, PCs and
programming devices (PGs) are becoming increasingly impor-
tant in the industrial sector, in addition to programmable
controllers.
Thanks to their flexible programming capability, the produc-
tion system can be quickly adapted to the automation task.
With powerful communication structures, automation
projects today can be implemented economically and with the
necessary flexibility.
PC as an element of communication
The PC assumes an important role in industrial communica-
tion. Combined with real-time applications, such as in a
Windows environment, it forms an ideal basis for visualization
(e.g. WinCC).
Together with SoftControl software the PC handles communi-
cations tasks that could only previously be solved using a pro-
grammable controller.
Note:
The necessary configuration tools for the SIMATIC NET communications
processors for PGs/PCs are included in all software packages.
The software that runs under Windows can be found on the SIMATIC NET
CD for Windows operating systems, including the associated manuals in
PDF format and comprehensive additional information on SIMATIC NET
products and communication.

Options for use with OPC (Openness, Productivity & Collaboration)
System Integration with OPC Server
OPC is a standardized, open, and vendor-independent inter-
face that is widely used in automation.
As a rule, OPC communication consists of a server and one or
several clients. These clients can be located on the same PC or
also on other PCs in the Ethernet network.
OPC servers are available for a wide variety of protocols,
such as PROFINET, SNMP and networks, such as Ethernet.
OPC servers from SIMATIC NET have the following
functions:
Connection of automation solutions of various manufac-
turers to SIMATIC PLCs, field devices and Ethernet network
components
Servers for OPC DA, OPC DA-XML and OPC A&E-capable
clients
Configuration with STEP 7 or alternatively in free NCM PC
Programming interface for the OPC server via the Custom
Interface (C++) and "Automation Interface" (VB)
Optimized communication between OPC client and server
by grouping of variables (items)

Technology components
ASICs for PROFIBUS
enable third-party manufacturers to connect their devices and
systems simply to the PROFIBUS fieldbus.
ASICs enable, for example, the short response times on
PROFIBUS DP that are required at transfer rates of up to
12 Mbit/s.
Different ASICs and connections are available for the different
functional requirements such as master devices, or simple or
intelligent slaves.
Advantages of the PROFIBUS components at a glance
