7.4.1 Isochronous mode
Introduction
Note
The basics of isochronous operation are described in a separate manual.
Hardware requirements
To operate SM 338 in isochronous mode, you need:
● a CPU which supports isochronous mode
● a DP master which supports the constant bus cycle
● a slave interface (IM 153-x) which supports isochronous mode
Properties
SM 338 operates in non-isochronous or isochronous mode, depending on system
parameters.
In isochronous mode, data are exchanged between the DP master and SM 338 in
synchronism to the PROFIBUS DP cycle.
In isochronous mode, all 16 bytes of the feedback interface are consistent.
If synchronism is lost due to disturbance or failure/delay of Global Control (GC), the SM 338
resumes isochronous mode at the next cycle without error reaction.
If synchronism is lost, the feedback interface is not updated.
