4. General information about Profibus DP
For the exchange of information among automation systems and between
automation systems and the connected decentral field devices, serial
fieldbuses are mainly used today as the communication system. Thousands
of applications have proved impressively that cost savings of up to 40 % in
wiring, commissioning and maintenance are achieved by using field bus
technology. While in the past the fieldbuses used were often manufacturer
specific and incompatible with other bus systems, the systems employed
today are almost exclusively open and standardized. This means that the
user is independent of individual suppliers and can choose the best product
at the most competitive price.
Profibus DP is the leading open fieldbus system in Europe, which is also
used successfully throughout the world. The application range includes
automation in the areas of manufacturing, processing and building. Profibus
DP is an international, open fieldbus which has been standardized in the
fieldbus standard EN 50 170. This standardization ensures that the invest
-
ments of manufacturers and users are protected to the best possible degree
and the independence of the manufacturer is guaranteed.
These operation instructions cannot provide a general introduction into
Profibus DP. For more information please refer to the literature references in
appendix D.
4.1 Basic characteristics Profibus DP defines the technical and functional features of a serial fieldbus
system with which distributed digital automation devices can be intercon-
nected. Profibus DP distinguishes between master and slave devices.
Profibus DP is designed for fast data transmission in the field level. Here
central control devices, such as a PLC or PC, communicate via a fast serial
connection with peripheral field stations such as input/output devices,
valves and actuators.
The interchange of data among the field devices takes place cyclically. The
necessary communication functions are established by the Profibus DP
basic functions according to EN 50 170.
Master devices control the data traffic on the Bus. A master is allowed to
send messages without an external request. Masters are also called ‘active
stations’ in the Profibus protocol.
Slave devices such as AUMA Profibus DP actuators are peripheral
devices. Typical slave devices are input/output devices, valves, actuators
and measuring sensors. They do not have bus access, i.e. they may only
acknowledge received messages or, at the request of a master, transmit
messages to that master. Slaves are also called ‘passive stations’.
