4 PROFIBUS DP
4.1 Introduction
PROFIBUS DP is a fieldbus initially defined by standard DIN 19245, later incorporated in EN 50170. From 1999 it is standardised in standards IEC
61158 (“Digital data communications for measurement and control - Fieldbus for use in industrial control systems”) and IEC 61784 (“Digital data
communications for measurement and control”).
PROFIBUS DP has a wide range of applicability, especially in factory and process automation, and can be used when high speed communications
and/or complex applications are required.
It provides a wide range of communication technologies, protocols and profiles. Among them, communication protocol PROFIBUS DP implements a
simple, quick, cyclic and deterministic data exchange between a master device and one or more slave devices.
AD3000 is equipped with a PROFIBUS DP interface based on the PROFIdrive communication profile for class 1 applications (“Standard Drive”).
4.2 Physical interface: ETH-PROFI optional board
To use the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus it is necessary to install the ETH-PROFI optional board described in paragraph Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS
DP communication module (ETH-PROFI).
4.3 General characteristics
Table 4.1 sums up the main characteristics of the AD3000 PROFIBUS DP interface available with the ETH-PROFI optional board.
From 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mb/s

Table 4.2 contains the main characteristics of a PROFIBUS DP network with a RS485 physical interface.
Table 4.3 contains the parameters of the cables used for communication.
For the choice of the connectors to be used refer to Table 4.4.
