12 Fieldbus interface
12.1 Fieldbus interface conguration
This PR 5230 enables one or more devices to be included under a communication master
(e.g. Siemens S7 ProBus). One scale may be addressed over the eldbus interface. The
data on the eldbus are processed at intervals of 50 ms.
The interface is congured under -[Fieldbus parameter] in the device. The
corresponding eldbus protocol (in this case: Ethernet-IP) is displayed.
12.2 Scale protocol (8-Byte) for the "standard" application
The interface works with an 8byte write window and an 8byte read window. The
eldbus exchanges its data cyclically with each slave. That means: During each cycle,
8bytes are written and 8bytes are read, even if data contents are unchanged.
The eldbus protocol ensures the data transport between the eldbus master and the
2× 8byte data windows.
The interface protocol runs under the eldbus and manages the access to a multitude of
dierent data.
The protocol described below is independent of the selected eldbus; it is explained as
seen from the eldbus master.
