Communication protocol
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes the PROFIBUS messaging used in the
communication with the drive and in PROFIBUS slave device
configuration messages.
PROFIBUS DP
The FPBA-01 module supports the PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1
protocols according to the IEC 61158, IEC 61784 and EN 50170
standards. PROFIBUS DP-V0/DP-V1 is a distributed I/O system
which enables the master to use a large number of peripheral
modules and field devices. The data transfer is mainly cyclic: the
master reads the input information from the slaves and sends the
output information back to the slaves.
The FPBA-01 module uses so-called PPOs (parameter/process
data objects) in cyclic communication and also supports standard
telegrams 1 and 2. See section Cyclical message types on page
135 for the supported PPO messages and standard telegrams.
