Samson 3730-4 - Technical Data

EB 8384-4 EN 11
Design and principle of operation
3.2 Communication
The positioner is controlled completely by
digital signal transmission according to
PROFIBUS-PA prole classB according to
DINEN50170 and DIN19245-4.
Data are transmitted over the bus using digi-
tal, bit-synchronous Manchester coding at a
Baud rate of 31.25kbit/s over twisted-pair
wires according to IEC61158-2.
Usually, the positioner settings are made on
a computer. One or more positioners can be
connected over a segment coupler to the
PROFIBUS segment of the computer.
Conguration and operation of the posi-
tioner over PROFIBUS-PA are described in
the Conguration Manual
u KH8384-4.
3.2.1 Conguration using the
TROVIS-VIEW software
The positioner can be congured with SAM-
SON's TROVIS-VIEW Conguration and
Operator Interface.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial
interface to allow the RS-232 or USB port of
a computer to be connected to it over an
adapter cable.
The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the user
to easily congure the positioner as well as
view process parameters online.
TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user inter-
face that allows users to congure and pa-
rameterize various SAMSON devices using
device-specic database modules. The
3730-4 device module can be downloaded
free of charge from our website (www.sam-
son.de) at Services > Software >
TROVIS-VIEW. Further information on
TROVIS-VIEW (e.g. system requirements) is
available on our website and in the Data
Sheet uT6661.
