12.1 Introduction to AH10PFBM-5A
AH10PFBM-5A runs on the right side of AH500 series PLC and constitutes the PROFIBUS DP
master with AH500 series PLC together.
12.1.1 Features
 While using AH10PFBM-5A, the power module PS05 and the main rack and etc are
necessary for AH10PFBM-5A to be used together.
 No external power is needed since the rack can provide the power to AH10 PFBM-5A.
 AH10PFBM-5A can not be inserted to the I/O slot of the extension rack except the AH main
rack.
 Maximum 8 AH10 PFBM-5A modules can be connected to the main rack.
 Supports the hot plug function (The module can be inserted to the I/O slot or be removed
from the I/O slot when the main rack is powered on)
 Please read the manual carefully before use. The manual merely provides the information
on specification, functions and trouble-shooting of the product excluding the details on the
PROFIBUS DP protocol. For more details on the PROFIBUS DP protocol, please refer to
relevant professional articles or literatures.
12.1.2 Introduction
AH10PFBM-5A can be used as the class-1 DP master only with the following functions.
 Supports DPV0. That is, the master and slave make the exchange
periodically. It supports
maximum 2880 words of input data and 2880 words of output data.
 Supports DPV1 (The slave supporting DPV1 is needed). The master can read/write the data
in the slave periodically via the read/write function of DPV1 provided by ISPSoft.
 The module automatically exchanges the data with AH500 series PLC. User can directly
operate the specified registers in AH500 series PLC so as to achieve to control and monitor
the slave.
 Supports multiple kinds of diagnosis such as the digital displays, indicators, specified
registers and software to detect the troubles of the module and slave.
 Supports the communication rate ranging 9.6Kbps~12Mbps.
 Able to connect maximum 125 slaves and its node address can be set to 0~125 through
SYCON.net and the node address of the slave can be set to 1~125. If the hardware actually
connected to the network is over 32, or out of the distance that the corresponding baud rate
allows, the RS-485 repeater is necessary to be added to expand the physical network.
 The network configuration software（SYCON.net）provides the easy and handy graphic
configuration interface to automatically scan and recognize all slaves on the network.
