Distributed I/Os
PROFIBUSDP field bus
Application PROFIBUS is the bus system
for communication in small
cell networks and with field
device. PROFIBUS is based
on the European standard
EN 50170 and is implement
ed worldwide in the field envi
ronment.
By meeting the requirements
of EN 50170, PROFIBUS
ensures that it is open to the
linking of components from
other manufacturers which
comply with the standard.
Siemens supports the con
nection of further field devices
to PROFIBUS by marketing
ASICs and submodules as
well as providing technical
advice for manufacturers of
PROFIBUS components.
Three protocol profiles are
available for the various re
quirements and applications
in the field and cell areas:
S7400

PROFIBUS-FMS

PROFIBUSDP
PROFIBUSDP complies with
EN 50170.
PROFIBUSDP is character
ized by fast cyclic commu
nication with small data quan
tities. Data transfer rates up to
12 Mbit/s are possible.
PROFIBUSDP allows distrib
uted ET 200 I/O stations, hu
manmachineinterfaces and
field devices to communicate
with the programmable con
trollers. In addition with
SIMATIC S7/M7, it is possible
to program, startup, test and
diagnose the complete au
tomation system via the field
bus.

PROFIBUSFMS
PROFIBUSFMS complies
with the PROFIBUS standard
EN 50170 and is designed
for communication with more
complex field devices with an
FMS interface and for smaller
cell networks (10 to 15
stations).
Data transfer rates up to 1.5
Mbit/s are possible.
PROFIBUSFMS and DP
All protocols are based on the
same bus components and
can be operated together on
one line (combination master).
PROFIBUSPA
PROFIBUSPA is the protocol
profile for process automa
tion, especially for the intrinsi
callysafe area.
PROFIBUS provides solutions
ranging from the field area to
the cell area.

Transmission system Siemens offers an extensive
range of PROFIBUS network
components for electrical and
optical transmission.
Electrical network
The electrical network uses a
shielded, twisted, twocore
cable. The RS 485 interface
operates using voltage differ
ences. It is therefore less sen
sitive to interference than a
voltage or current interface.
With PROFIBUS, the stations
are connected to the bus via a
bus terminal or bus connector
(max. 32 stations per seg
ment).
The individual segments are
linked via repeaters.

S S7300 programmable con
troller with CP 3425 or

troller with CP 4435 (max.
12 Mbit/s).
The data transfer rate is se
lectable in stages from 9.6 to
1.5 Mbit/s. For extremely
timecritical distributed I/O
applications, data transfer
rates of 3, 6 and 12 Mbit/s are
additionally possible.
The maximum segment length
depends on the data transfer
rate.
Optical network
The fiber optic version of
PROFIBUS is immune to elec
tromagnetic interferences. It
is suitable for long distances
and offers a choice of plastic
or glass fiber optic cables.
The stations are connected to
the optical network via an op
tical bus terminal or optical
link module (OLM).
OLMs enable the creation of
an optical network with a
linear, ring or star structure.
S DP/ASInterface link
S Text displays and operator
panels for operating and
monitoring at the machine
S MOBY identification systems
S Field devices, also from oth
er manufacturers, e.g.
drives, valves
Up to a 127 stations can be
connected to PROFIBUSDP.
Actuator sensor interface
ASInterface
The actuator sensor interface
(ASInterface) is a field bus
for connection of binary ac
tuators and sensors.
The ASInterface can be con
nected to PROFIBUS
S directly to SIMATIC S5/S7
via the CP 3422 (available
soon), CP 2433 or CP 2430
master modules or directly
to a PC via CP 2413 and
S via a DP/ASInterface link
The maximum distance be
tween two OLMs is 15 km
(9.3 m).
The data transfer rate is
selectable in stages from 9.6
to 1.5 Mbit/s.
The maximum segment length
for the optical version of
PROFIBUS is independent of
the data transfer rate.
Mixed networks
Mixed structures based on
electrical and optical net
works are possible.
The transition between the
two media is provided by the
OLM.
For communication between
stations on the bus, there is
no difference between the
twowire and fiberoptic sys
tems.
Up to 127 stations can be
connected to a PROFIBUS
network.

Principle of operation
The PROFIBUS access meth
od uses the principle of token
passing with subordinate
master/slave as specified in
EN 50170.
A distinction is made between
active and passive network
stations.
Only active stations receive
the token, i.e. the transmis
sion authorization which is
passed from one active sta
tion to the next within a speci
fied time.
The system automatically de
tects whether a station has
dropped out or whether a new
one has joined the network.
Passive stations do not re
ceive the transmission autho
rization. They are directly ad
dressed by the master
module to which they are as
signed.
All stations in the network
must be set to the same data
transfer rate.

Configuration Helpful and simple tools are
available for the user for con
figuration, parameterization,
startup and diagnosis of the
PROFIBUSDP field bus sys
tem.
The parameterization software
COM ET 200 Windows is used
for the master interfaces of
the SIMATIC S5.
The COM ET 200 parameter
ization software allows simple
menudriven parameterization
of the PROFIBUSDP field bus
with a SIMATIC S5 master
with IM 308C interface mod
ule as well as with the
S595U/DP master program
mable controller. For further
information on configuration
with COM ET 200,
see Section 7.
ET 200 handheld unit
The ET 200 handheld unit is a
small handheld programming
device for startup and diag
nostics of distributed I/O sta
tions.
As no communications proc
essor is required it is espe
cially economical.
For further information on the
ET 200 handheld unit, see
