Fig. 2: Principle of operation as active slave

The two modes of operation can also be combined. In this case the ibaBM-DPM-S reads

data that is specifically targeted for the device as well as data for other DP stations.

Operation on the redundant PROFIBUS

For using the redundant mode, a supplementary license is needed. Being used in the re-

dundancy mode, ibaBM-DPM-S can read and capture data from redundant PROFIBUS

strings of S7-400H controls. The device can be used in both modes, the sniffer mode and

the active slave mode.

ibaBM-DPM-S monitors the telegram traffic on both PROFIBUS lines. The device decides

individually for each slave, from which line data are taken.

The device can be operated either in redundancy or in normal mode. A combination of

modes is not possible.

Integration in a DP network

For integrating the device in an existing DP network, no major physical changes have to

be made. Due to its size and the mounting panel, the ibaBM-DPM-S device can be

mounted between master and network. Due to the FO connection, the PROFIBUS data

can be transferred over long distances and across areas with high electromagnetic fields.

Overview of the most important features:

 2 PROFIBUS connectors for the connection of 2 DP lines or for looping through to

one line.

 Both lines can be terminated separately.

 PROFIBUS interface with up to 12 Mbit/s

 A total of up to 8 own DP slaves, distributable over one or both lines. Fast ibaNet fi-

ber optic interface with 32 Mbit/s

 Logs up to 512 analog signals (up to 1984 bytes) and 512 digital signals in 1 ms

 Slot for CompactFlash

cards for configuration data

 USB and Ethernet interfaces for configuring the device from your PC

 Windows CE

operating system
