Basic features of PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS defines the technical and functional features of a serial fieldbus
system with which distributed digital programmable field controllers of the low-end
(sensor/actuator level) to mid performance range (cell level) can be networked.
PROFIBUS distinguishes between master and slave devices.
Master devices Master devices determine the data traffic on the bus. A master can send
messages without an external request if it has bus access authorization. In the
PROFIBUS protocol, masters are also referred to as active stations.
Slave devices Slave devices are low-overhead I/O devices. Typical slave devices are sensors,
actuators and measuring transducers. They are not assigned bus access
authorization i.e. they are only permitted to acknowledge received messages or
to transmit messages when requested by a master. Slaves are also called
passive stations. They only require a small part of the bus protocol. In this way,
the bus protocol can be extremely simple.
Transmission technology
Transmission by means of cables has been used to US standard EIA RS-485 as
a basic version for applications in the area of production technology,
building automation and drive technology. A twisted copper cable with one
conductor pair is used for this purpose.
Fiber-optic cables are used in environments with strong interference as well as
to increase the range when high transmission rates are used. Glass and plastic
fiber-optic cables are available.
Intrinsically-safe transmission supports PROFIBUS PA and the supply of
stations over the bus. The transmission technology is described in the
international standard IEC 1158-2.
Transmission rate
9.6 - 19.2 - 93.75 - 187.5 - 500 - 1500 Kbit/s , 3 - 6 - 12 Mbit/s adjustable in steps.

Line and Tree structure
SITRAIN
Line The line structure is often called a bus structure although not every bus has a
line structure. All nodes now only require a single interface.
They can be connected to the main line via short spur lines.
While it is possible, for example, that four nodes communicate at the same time in
a point-to-point structure, this is not possible in a line structure. It must be
ensured that only one node can send at any one time while all other nodes can
only listen.
This requires rules that regulate which node can have send authorization at what
time.
These are referred to as the bus access methods.
Tree PROFIBUS also uses the tree structure. The tree structure can also be viewed as
a concatenation of several line structures of different lengths but also of different
types. The components which connect the individual lines are of special
importance.
These can be simply amplifiers (repeaters) if the connected components are of

the same type or they can also be converters (routers, bridges, gateways) if
components of different types are used.
The individual "branches" of the tree structure can also be connected directly
to each other.

SITRAIN
Data communicationData communication (e.g. PROFIBUS FMS) serves to exchange data between
programmable controllers or between programmable controllers and intelligent
partners (PC, computer, etc.). The following communication functions are
available for this purpose:
PG/OP communication
comprises integral communication functions that are used by the SIMATIC
programmable controllers to perform data communication with HMI devices
(e.g. TD/OP) and SIMATIC PG (STEP 7). PG/OP communication is supported by
MPI, PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet networks.
S7 routing With the help of S7 routing it is possible to use programming device

communication across networks.
S7 communication S7 communication is the integral communication function which has been

optimized within the SIMATIC S7/C7. It enables PCs and workstations to be
connected. The maximum volume of useful data per task is 64 KB. S7
communication offers simple, powerful communication services and provides a
network-independent software interface for MPI, PROFIBUS and Industrial
Ethernet networks.
S5-compatible communication (SEND/RECEIVE)

The SEND/RECEIVE interface (with PROFIBUS over FDL) is optimized for
communication between SIMATIC S5 and S7 programmable controllers and
therefore facilitates migration of SIMATIC S5, SIMATIC S7 programmable
controllers and PCs over PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet.
Standard communication
Standard communication uses standardized protocols for data communication
( PROFIBUS FMS Fieldbus Message Specification and OPC server).
Bus access method for PROFIBUS
Logic Token Ring
Active Nodes
Passive Nodes
SITRAIN
Data Link Layer The data link layer implements the access control function for data backup
and handles the transmission protocols and messages. The data link layer (Layer
2) is referred to as the fieldbus data link (FDL) in PROFIBUS.
Bus access control The bus access control defines when a bus node can send data.
The bus access control must ensure that only one node has send authorization
at any one time.
Bus access control requirements

Two essential requirements have been included in the PROFIBUS protocol:
One the one hand, communication between complex, equal-priority

programmable controllers (data communication), must ensure that each
node has enough time within a defined time frame
to perform its communication tasks.
On the other hand, communication between a complex

programmable controller and the assigned simple I/O devices
(slaves) should be as simple as possible using cyclic
data exchange.

Token bus method

Token passing between active
nodes (1)
Master/slave between active

and passive nodes(2)
SITRAIN
Token bus method The nodes connected to PROFIBUS form a logical token ring in ascending
numerical order of their bus address.
The sequence is independent of the topological arrangement of the active

stations on the bus. A token ring is an organizational concatenation of active
nodes (masters) in which a token is always passed from one node to the next.
The token i.e. the right to access the transmission medium is passed on by
means of a special token message between the active bus nodes. If a node has
the token, it can send messages until the so-called token holding time
(configuration) has elapsed. If the token holding time has elapsed, the station is
only permitted to send high-priority messages. If a node does not have a
message to send, it passes on the token to the next node in the logical ring.
An exception to this is the active node with the highest station address (HSA) on
the bus.
This node only passes on the token to the active bus node with the lowest bus
address so as to close the logical token ring again.
The access method is independent of the transmission medium.

The diagram above shows the method used for active and passive stations.

SITRAIN
PROFIBUS DP PROFIBUS DP is a standardized interface for the transmission of process input

and process output data between SIMATIC-S7/M7/C7 stations and field devices
(DP slaves). Small volumes of data are exchanged isochronously between the
DP master and DP slaves.
PROFIBUS DP is a serial bus in accordance with standard EN 50170 Vol. 2,
PROFIBUS. This PROFIBUS variant which has been optimized for fast data
exchange
is especially suitable for communication between automation systems and
distributed I/O devices on the field level.
Compact DP slaves Compact DP slaves use an I/O structure which cannot be changed.
The series of digital ET 200B stations (B for block I/O) are an example of such
DP slaves. Depending on the number of I/O channels required and the voltage
range, suitable modules from the 200B module range can be selected.
Modular DP slaves For modular DP slaves, the structure of the input and output area is variable
and can be defined on configuration. Typical examples of the DP slave type are
the ET 200M stations. Up to 8 I/O modules can be connected to an ET 200M
head module (IM153) from the S7-300 range (modular).
Intelligent DP slaves (I-DP slaves)

Field devices of the S7 range which preprocess signals are called "intelligent
slaves". The structure of the input and output area is defined during hardware
configuration.
A feature of the I-slaves is that the input and output area available to the DP
master does not correspond to actual physical I/O devices, but corresponds to an
input and output area which is simulated by a pre-processing CPU.

SITRAIN
PROFIBUS-PA PROFIBUS-PA has been specially designed for process engineering and permits
connection of sensor/actuators to a shared fieldbus cable (also in hazardous
areas).
PROFIBUS-PA uses the extended PROFIBUS-DP protocol for data transmission.
In addition, the PA profile is used which defines the responses of the field
devices. The transmission method to IEC 61158-2 (synchronous transmission
method) ensures intrinsic safety and that the field devices are supplied via the
bus.
PROFIBUS-PA devices can be easily integrated into PROFIBUS DP networks

by using segment couplers. PROFIBUS PA can be used to implement individual
line, tree and star bus structures or mixed systems. The number of nodes which
can be operated on a single bus segment depends on the power supply used,
the power consumption of the bus nodes, the bus cable and the extension of the
bus system.
A PROFIBUS-PA segment in an intrinsically-safe system can be connected to
up to 10 nodes; non-intrinsically-safe systems can handle up to 32 stations
The transmission rate used is31.25 kbits/s. To increase system availability,

redundant bus segments can be used.
A PA bus segment is connected to a PROFIBUS DP bus segment by means of

asegment coupleror DP/PA link.

OPC OPC refers to a standard interface for communication in automation. OLE is the
component model of Microsoft. Components are the software objects or
applications that make their functionality available to other applications.
OPC interface The OPC interface is the specification for a standardized, multi-vendor software
interface based on OLE. Previously, applications that accessed process data
were restricted to the access mechanisms of the communications network of one
manufacturer. The standardized OPC interface now provides the user wanting to
use, for example, HMI software with the option of uniform access to
communication networks of any vendor.
OPC server The OPC server offers applications of different manufacturers a standardized
OPC interface. Communication via industrial networks is possible by means of
simple calls. The process data are accessed via the OPC interface in the same
way independent of the communication network or protocol used. An OPC server
is therefore an intermediate layer between applications for processing process
data and the different network protocols and interfaces for accessing
these data.

Master/slave mode for process and field

communication
SITRAIN
Master/slave method
If a logical ring consists of only one active node and if there are several passive
nodes on the bus, this corresponds to a pure master/slave system (see diagram
above).
The master/slave method permits the master (active node) which currently has
send permission (token) to access the slaves (passive nodes) that are assigned
to it. The master can send messages to the slaves or receive messages from the
slaves.
The typical standard PROFIBUS DP bus configuration is based on this bus

access method. An active node (DP master) exchanges data with the passive
nodes (DP slaves) in a cyclic sequence.
The access method permits stations to be added or removed during operation.

S7-300 and S7-400
CPU 317-2 PN/DP CP 342-5 DP/FDL
CP 443-5 Extended CP 416-2 DP
SITRAIN
Master-Modules PROFIBUS distinguish between Master- and Slave-modules. The PROFIBUS-

Master coordinates the data transfer on the bus.
The S7-300 and S7-400 systems can either be connected as masters over CPUs
with an integral PROFIBUS DP interface or over communication modules (CPs)
to the PROFIBUS. The CPUs with integral PROFIBUS DP interface permit a
distributed automation configuration with a transfer rate of up to 12 Mbaud.
Total integration The total integration of the master and distributed I/O presents itself to the user
in the form of:
Uniform configuration:
Both the central as well as the distributed I/O are configured with
STEP7. This means that the user can employ the same
configuring tool for central and distributed I/O
Centralized and distributed programming:
The automation system is programmed using STEP 7 regardless of the
system configuration. In this way, the program can be generated
independent of the hardware configuration.

SITRAIN
DP device types PROFIBUS DP distinguishes between two different master classes and different
DP functionalities.
DP master Class 1 The DP master Class 1 is the central component on PROFIBUS DP.
The central PLC or PC exchanges information with distributed stations
(DP slaves) in a fixed, repeated message cycle.
DP master Class 2 This type of device (programming, configuring or HMI device) is used on
startup, for configuring the DP system or for operating the system during normal
operation (diagnostics).
A DP master Class 2 can, for example, read input data, output data, diagnostic
data and configuration data of the slaves.
DP slave A DP slave is an I/O device which reads in input information and passes output
information to the I/O.
The volume of input and output data depends on the device and can be up to 244
bytes.
The functional scope can differ between DP masters of Class 1 and 2 and
DP slaves. This determines the performance and availability of a communication
processor.

These extended DP functions comprise non-isochrone access to the parameters

and measured values of a slave (e.g. field devices of process automation and
intelligent HMI devices). This type of slave must be supplied with extensive
parameter data during start-up and during normal operation.
Data transferred in non-isochrone mode (e.g. parameterization data) are only

rarely changed, in comparison to the isochronous measured values, and are
transferred at lower priority in parallel with the isochronous high-speed useful
data transfer. Alarm acknowledgement by the master ensures reliable transfer of
the alarms from DP slaves.
DP V2 Die DP master functions (DP-V0) comprise the following functions

Isochrone mode and
Direct data communication between DP slaves.

Master and slave for modular and compact

DP slaves
SITRAIN
Master/slave method
If a logical ring consists of only one active node and if there are several passive
nodes on the bus, this corresponds to a pure master/slave system (see diagram
above).
The master/slave method permits the master (active node) which currently has
send permission (token) to access the slaves (passive nodes) that are assigned
to it. The master can send messages to the slaves or receive messages from the
slaves.
The typical standard PROFIBUS DP bus configuration is based on this bus

access method. An active node (DP master) exchanges data with the passive
nodes (DP slaves) in a cyclic sequence.
The access method permits stations to be added or removed during operation.
Master and slave configuration for modular and compact DP slaves

In this configuration, data communication takes place between the DP master and
simple DP slaves i.e. I/O modules over the DP master.
The DP master polls each configured DP slave in its polling list within the DP
master system in sequence and transmits the output data or receives their input
values.
The I/O addresses are assigned automatically by the configuration system.
This configuration is also called a monomaster system since a single DP master

with its corresponding DP slaves is connected to a physical PROFIBUS DP
subnet.

preprocessing (I-DP slaves)
ET200X or
S7-300 with 2 interfaces
SITRAIN
Master/slave configuration for DP slaves with preprocessing (intelligent DP slaves)

Automation tasks can be subdivided into subtasks which are controlled by a
higher-level automation system.
These control tasks, which can be performed independently and efficiently
execute on a CPU as preprocessing. This CPU can be implemented in the form
of an intelligent DP slave.
For configurations with intelligent DP slaves (I-slave) such as a CPU315-2DP, the

DP master does not access the I/O modules of the intelligent DP slaves, but only
the CPU operand area of the I-slaves i.e. this operand area must not be reserved
for real I/O modules in the I-slave. This assignment must be performed when the
I-slaves are configured. The DP master can be addressed within a monomaster
system so that the data exchange can still be performed according to the cyclic
master/slave principle (MS).

Configuration for direct data communication between slave and I-slave

With this configuration input data from DP slaves can be transmitted very quickly
to intelligent DP slaves on the PROFIBUS DP subnet.
Generally, all simple DP slaves (for a certain version and higher) as well as other
intelligent DP slaves can make selected input data available that can be used for
direct data exchange between DP slaves.
These data can only be received by intelligent DP slaves such as the
CPU 315-2DP.

Configuration for data communication between a slave and an I-slave with two master systems
Several DP master systems on a physical PROFIBUS-DP subnet are also called
a multimaster system. With this configuration, signals from simple DP slaves can
be exchanged very quickly across DP master systems with intelligent DP slaves
on the same physical PROFIBUS DP subnet.
In this way, an intelligent DP slave such as a CPU 315-2DP can have input
data from "simple" DP slaves, also from different DP master systems
(i.e. multimaster systems), transmitted directly to its input data area.
Generally, all simple DP slaves (from a certain version) can make selected input
data for direct data exchange (DX) between DP slaves available. These data
however can only be used by intelligent DP slaves such as the CPU 315-2DP.

DP master system on the physical PROFIBUS DP subnet. This mechanism is
also called shared input since input data are used across master systems.

Software for parameterizing the PROFIBUS

system for S7
SITRAIN
Function The STEP 7 programming software permits menu-prompted parameterization of

the distributed I/O devices as well as of the field devices on the PROFIBUS DP.
This mainly comprises:
Configuration of the fieldbus system

Generation of the address list for the master module
Adjustment of the transmission rate on the fieldbus
Adjustment of the failure characteristics
The STEP 7 programming software supports uniform programming and

configuring of central and distributed I/O.
The required configuration of the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus is stored on the

PROFIBUS DP master module.
Diagnostics The diagnostic function can be used to localize and remove errors easily
during operation. For this purpose, the PG is connected directly to PROFIBUS DP
or to the corresponding I/O and field device.
GSD data STEP 7 can also be used to parameterize field devices of other manufacturers.
For simple and easy parameterization, the product is usually supplied with device
master files for integration into the parameterization tools. So that the distributed
ET 200 I/O devices can be connected to masters of other manufacturers, the
GSD files are also available from the central interface center.

Practical simulation of DP configurations
SITRAIN
Introduction How can I determine the optimal configuration for PROFIBUS DP and how can I
correctly estimate the response time and bus cycle time on a PROFIBUS DP
line ?
ANSWER: Many applications require a fast response time over the distributed I/O. In the
SIMATIC system, PROFIBUS DP is used for fast and efficient data
communication between distributed I/O and S7 stations. One of the most
important questions when designing such DP configurations concerns the DP
response time which can be expected:
How long does it take until a signal changes at the output of the ET200
after the signal has changed at the input of the ET200?
This time varies in accordance with the number, type and mode of the
components used on the PROFIBUS DP. This gives rise to further questions:
How does the DP response time change when the configuration is changed
How does the DP bus cycle time and the OB1 cycle time affect the
DP response time?
What fluctuations are there for these times ?
To answer the questions above, we have performed comprehensive
measurements on real DP configurations. You can only select the DP
components and assign parameters to them correctly if you can estimate the DP
response time correctly. In this way, you can minimize the risk of investing
unwisely.
Simulator for DP configurations
With the simulator you can simulate your planned DP configurations directly on
the PC. You can select and compare two different configurations with a few clicks
of the mouse. The simulator will display the estimated response times for real-life
situations.
