S-series Profibus DP Interface Card

Benefits

Product Description

Integrates Profibus DP device signals directly

into control logic The DeltaV system supports

The DeltaV Profibus DP card uses standard RS485

cabling with two wires for data transmission. The interface
is based on the master/slave principle. Sixty-four slaves
may run on a pair of wires communicating with the master.

standard Profibus DP devices, including Motor Control

Centers, Variable Speed Drive controllers as well as
remote I/O products from many different manufactures.
The Profibus DP master allows these devices to be
integrated directly into the DeltaV S-series controller I/O
subsystem where control modules able to access them.
Updated device definition files can be imported into the
system to implement the latest features of these products.

Reduces wiring costs. The DeltaV Profibus DP

interface supports the easy integration of intelligent Motor
Control Centers and Drives, which significantly decreases
the wiring and associated diagrams, installation costs and
test of a comparable solution based on Classic I/O.

Native DeltaV bus interface eliminates data

mapping. DeltaV Profibus DP cards communicate
directly to the controller, without the need for a serial
interface and other intermediate converters. This greatly
simplifies the configuration and maintenance. You can rely
on DeltaV Profibus DP cards to provide real-time,
consistently accurate inputs and outputs. As the network
of field devices grows, maintenance remains constant.

Mix and match bus technologies to meet

application requirements. The DeltaV system makes
it easy to configure and activate the devices on a complete
line of digital field busses. Profibus DP, AS-i bus,
DeviceNet, FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART, and traditional I/O
can be easily intermixed on an I/O card basis on the same
DeltaV controller. The same configuration, diagnostic, and
operator interface techniques are used to configure the
system.

Redundant Profibus DP Master. DeltaV provides a

redundant Profibus DP Master solution with a single
port to support simplex Profibus DP segments and
their devices. The redundant cards are autosensed,
making DeltaV the easiest system on which to
implement redundant Profibus masters.Should the
active master fail, the system automatically switches
to the standby card without user intervention. The
operator is given clear notification of a switchover at
the operator display.

One Profibus DP segment is supported on a single

interface, which can be simplex or redundant.
Temperature and certification specifications are the same
as other DeltaV I/O.
RS 485 transmission is the transmission technology most
frequently used by Profibus DP and is often referred to as
H2. It can be used in areas where high transmission
speed and simple inexpensive installation are required.
Twisted-pair shielded copper cable with one conductor
pair is used for communications.
The Profibus DP bus structure permits step-by-step
commissioning of the additional stations without
influencing existing stations. Future expansions have no
effect on stations already in operation.
A transmission speed between 9.6 Kbit/sec and 1.5
Mbit/sec is selected and is applicable to all devices on that
segment. The DetlaV Profibus DP master can assume any
address on the segment, although address 1 is typically
used. The Profibus DP card can be set up with or without
a segment Terminator through a jumper located in the
terminal block. With the terminator disconnected, the DP
card can be installed anywhere in the segment. With the
terminator connected, the DeltaV Profibus DP master
1
must be at one of the ends of the segment.
In DeltaV v12 and later, the number of DSTs per
connected Profibus DP device will be 1 DST in most
cases. The DST type counted will be the most valuable
type used to reference a signal for each device. If
references are made to more than 16 signals from a
th
device, additional signal references beyond the 16
reference will each count as a DST. A motor starter, for
example, with 4 to 5 signal references, will consume 1
DST (typicall an AI or DO DST). A remote I/O island will
consume 1 DST for the first 16 signal references, and 1
th
DST for each additional signal reference beyond the 16
signal reference. For DeltaV versions prior to v12, each
signal referenced from a connected Profibus DP device
will count as 1 DST each.
Performance of the Profibus DP segment will be a function
of the number of devices connected and the Baud rate;
typically, an additional 80100mS latency will be
introduced as compared to directly connecting the signal
to a DeltaV Classic I/O channel.

Refer to Zone 2 installation instructions (12P2046) and/or

Class 1 Division 2 installation instructions (12P1293) for
details.

DP Slave vs. DP Master

A DP slave is a peripheral device (I/O device, drive, HMI,
valve, etc.) that collects input information and sends
output information to the master. There are also devices
that supply only input or only output information.
The amount of input and output information depends on
the device type. A maximum of 244 bytes of input
information and 244 bytes of output information is
permitted per slave.
The DeltaV Profibus DP interface card (master) cyclically
reads the input information from the slaves and cyclically
writes the output information to the slaves. In addition to
cyclic user data transmission, Profibus DP provides
powerful functions for diagnostics and configuration.
The extensive diagnostic functions of Profibus DP enable
fast location of faults. The diagnostic messages are
transmitted over the bus and collected at the master.
These messages are divided into the following three
levels:

S-series Profibus DP Interface Card

Switchover time for redundant master is less than 100 ms,
followed by an output signal check and rescan of the bus
to ensure that the process will be undisturbed. During this
time, devices maintain their outputs. The individual device
communication timers should be set to prevent premature
failsafe action.
The backup card monitors the health of the active master,
while the controller monitors the health of the redundant
pair. When a fault is detected, the system automatically
switches to the backup master. A hardware alert on the
integrity error for the primary card can be used to notify
the operator or maintenance technician of a switchover
event. The backup card is also monitored for integrity
flags.
Events that can cause a switchover include.

Hardware failure within the active card.

Communications failure between the active card and

the controller.

Station-related diagnostics. These messages

Removal of the active card from the carrier.

concern the general operational status of the whole device

(i.e., over temperature or low voltage).

Detection of a fault in the field wiring

Module-related diagnostics. These messages

indicate that a fault is present in a specific I/O range (i.e.,
8-bit output module) of a station.

Channel-related diagnostics. These messages

indicate an error at an individual input/output bit (i.e., short
circuit on output 7).

GSD Files
A GSD file is used to identify a Profibus DP device.
(master or slave). It contains data making it possible to
have manufacturer-independent configuration tools.
Typical information in a GSD file is vendor information,
Baud rates supported, timing information, options/features
supported and available I/O signals. A GSD file must be
available for every DP slave. The DeltaV system uses the
information in the GSD file to set up the communications
to the slave device. The GSD can be imported into the
DeltaV system to add the new slave to the library.

Redundant Operation
The active and standby masters are connected to the
segment at the redundant terminal block, supporting a
simplex wiring scheme. Configuration of redundancy is not
required as the DeltaV system automatically recognizes
the redundant pair of cards and assigns device signal tags
(DST) to the channels on the primary card.

A switchover may also be manually initiated from the

diagnostics explorer. The health and status of both cards
and their channels are also available in the diagnostics
explorer.
The system automatically commissions a new standby
card. In safe areas, failed cards can be replaced under
power. In hazardous areas, appropriate installation
procedures must be followed.
The Standby card is fixed at address 0 and periodically
declares itself on the segment as a Class 2 master to
verify connectivity. Other Class 2 masters may conflict
with the standby card and are not supported with the
redundant Profibus card when not set to a higher address
than 1.
