BCU 370 · Edition 01.19 34
Function
3.4.5 Network technology
All devices are connected in a bus structure (line). Up to
32 subscribers (masters or slaves) can be connected in
a single segment. The beginning and end of each seg-
ment is fitted with an active bus terminator. Both bus
terminators must have a permanent power supply to
ensure error-free operation. The power supply for the
bus terminator is provided by the BCU. The bus termi-
nator can be connected in the bus connection plug.
If more than 32 subscribers are implemented or if there
is a need to expand the network area, repeaters (ampli-
fiers) must be used to link the individual bus segments.
3.4.6 Configuration
When planning a PROFIBUS DP system, unit-specific pa-
rameters of each subscriber are to be taken into account.
To allow for simple and standardized planning, the param
-
eters of the BCU..B1 have been summarized in a so-called
device master data file (GSD). The file structure is standard-
ized so that it can be read by the planning devices of differ-
ent manufacturers.
The GSD file can be downloaded from www.docuthek.
com, once you have registered. The steps required to copy
the file are described in the instructions for the automa-
tion system.
