2.1 PROFIBUS DP option
PROFIBUS DP is available as a factory-fitted option (option P) on the FlexDrive
II
, Flex+Drive
II
and MintDrive
II
range of drives.
The PROFIBUS DP option allows a PLC (or any other PROFIBUS DP master device) to:
H Perform simple motion, controlled using polled messages.
H Read/write data using the drive’s onboard Comms array.
(On FlexDrive
II
, only the extended comms array locations may be accessed - see the
MintMT help file.)
The inclusion of the PROFIBUS DP option can be easily identified by the extra 9-pin female
D-type connector (X14) and Bus Activity LED on the front panel of the drive. It is also
indicated in the drive’s catalog number, which will have the letter P in the last four characters,
for example MDH1A05TB-RP23, or FDH1A02TB-EP23.
The catalog number is marked on the front of the unit, just below the Baldor logo.
