1. Product Description
ProfiHub B5+R is an advanced, flexible and robust network component for PROFIBUS DP installations, to create
backbone structures and long multi-device star/tree segments.

PROFIBUS DP is a high speed communication bus that must comply with strict rules concerning spur lines,
because of possible reflections that could lead to communication disturbances. If spur lines or star segments
are required, costly investments in repeaters have to be done.

The innovative ProfiHub B5+R is the perfect component for such applications. It is an economic solution to
realise reliable spur lines in high speed DP networks. They have the functionality of 5 galvanic isolated
transparent repeaters. This allows network structures with extended spur lines that individually can handle a
maximum of 31 devices and a length equal to the main bus. The ProfiHub B5+R refreshes a received message
on one Channel and transfers it to all the other Channels (chicken foot topology).

Because the ProfiHub B5+R creates isolated segments, the devices can now be removed and added during
operation. Also most electrical bus problems and EMC disturbances in a spur do not spread to the other
segments. The intelligent logic and isolation circuits of the ProfiHubs do not change the bit width. This means
the ProfiHubs do not have limitations in serial placement. The logic also detects the transmission speed
automatically.

To assist the installation work, termination is integrated and can be switched on/off. The grounding concept is
also selectable: direct or capacitive grounding. The ProfiHubs are powered by a 10 to 24 DC Voltage. For
troubleshooting, maintenance and commissioning the ProfiHubs are equipped with LEDs on the outside, which
indicate the status of each Channel (Data and Error).

If bus redundancy is enabled, 2 segments will form a redundant pair which is completely compatible with the
ABB RLM01. An alarm contact is linked to events based on the status of the power supply and the bus
redundancy status.

1.5 Grounding System
The ProfiHub B5+R can be grounded by 3 methods:
1. Direct grounding on the Ground Rail
2. Indirect grounding (through a capacitor)
3. Combination of direct and indirect.

The power supply must be grounded directly on the Ground Rail. The shielding of the PROFIBUS cables can be
directly or indirectly grounded. If you do not want to ground all or some cables to the common ground, i.e.
compensating current, the cable shielding must be connected to pin ‘I’ which stands for Indirect grounding. A
capacitor with a parallel high value resistor will separate the 2 potentials ( Fig. 5), ensuring protection of the
signal against non-DC disturbances.

If by accident on 1 channel the Direct Grounding is connected with the Indirect Grounding, the connection to
the Direct Grounding bypasses the capacitor in the Indirect Ground connection. The current on the shield will
flow to Direct Ground.

1.6 Cable lengths for PROFIBUS DP

The cables on the Channels and the Main-Channel must comply with the PROFIBUS DP cable specifications for
RS 485 (Fig. 6).

1.8.1 The red error LED

The red error LEDs will blink shortly if a corrupt message enters the ProfiHub. More specifically, this can be a
Parity error (the parity checksum of the byte is incorrect) or a Framing error (the FCS byte is different than the
real message). It is necessary to investigate further with an oscilloscope to find out what the problem is. This
can easily be done with ProfiTrace.

Another reason for the red error LED for channel 4 or 5 is a problem in the redundant cabling (if the ProfiHub is
set to redundant). If the redundant line is fixed, press the ‘Alarm Reset’ button.

It can also be that the baudrate is not locked (no PROFIBUS master on the bus) or the baudrate was set
manually and incorrectly with the rotary switch.

2 Installation Instructions ProfiHub B5+R

2.1 Location
The ProfiHub B5+R can be installed everywhere in a non-hazardous area that complies with IP 20 (DIN 40 050)
and the specified temperature range of -25 to +70o Celsius.

2.2 Position
The ProfiHub B5+R can be installed in every position, but it is recommended to install it with the cables
pointing down. In this position it is also easier to read the status LEDs.

2.3 Mounting
The ProfiHub B5+R can be mounted on 35 mm DIN-rail with a minimum width of 167 mm. Mounting brackets
are available for mounting the B5+R directly on a wall. The ProfiHub B5+R has only been UL and DNV approved
with 35 mm DIN-rail mounting!

The supplied rubber studs need to be placed on the back of the housing of the ProfiHub B5+R for extra fixation.
This is to prevent the product to potentially slide off the DIN-rail. See Fig. 9 for an example.
When used in DNV environments these rubber studs need to be installed!

B5+R. If one power supply fails, the other takes over without delay time. When redundancy is not required, it is
sufficient to use one power connector. Please note that when using only one power supply, a voltage of max.
0.25 V will exist on the other unconnected power connector, as shown in Fig. 11.

If only one power supply is used, the alarm contact is closed. If two power sources are connected, the contact
is open. As soon as one of the power supplies fails, the contact will close and the Power Indicator LED will blink.

Fig. 11 – Maximum voltage on unconnected Power Connector

For UL certified installations the power supply must comply with the following specifications:
• Limited Power Source (LPS) or NEC Class 2 or CEC Class 2
• Voltage: 12 - 24 VDC
• Current: min 275 mA
• Wire diameter: < 2.5 mm2

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 16/53

Procedure
To connect the 24V supply to the 2-pin screw-type terminal, proceed as follows:
• Strip the insulation from the cable or the conductors for the 24V power supply.
• Add cable crimp terminals/wire ferrules to the conductors.
• Secure the crimp terminals in the screw-type terminal.

To connect the power supply, you need a 3 mm screwdriver.

Testing
If the power is switched on it can be diagnosed by the following indicators:
• LEDs should be blinking in a circular animation for a short time.
• The POWER LED of the respective power connector (1, 2 or both) is ON.
• The READY LED is ON or Blinking, depending on baud rate lock.

2.5 Grounding of the power

It is recommended to use a power supply with a ground lead (3-wire). Connect the ground lead of the
 power lead to the Ground Rail of the ProfiHub B5+R. Connect the Ground Rail to the common ground
with a separate ground lead. See Fig. 12 for an example.

Fig. 12 - Connection to Ground Rail

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 17/53

2.6 Relay contact
The ProfiHub B5+R features a potential-free relay contact. This alarm contact can be used to monitor the
power supplies. Example applications are: Connect a LED tower, alarm buzzer, SMS server or use it as a digital
signal for the PLC. On the B5+RD version the relay can also be used for alarming in case of retires, illegals, or
other events. For more information refer to Chapter 0.

If only one power supply is used, the alarm contact is closed after 60 seconds after start-up. If two power
sources are connected, the contact is open. When one of the power supplies fails for 3 seconds or more, the
contact will close and the Power Indicator LED will blink. If you are using only one power source and wish to
use the Relay contact, simply connect Power 1 to Power 2.

In the case of an interrupted power supply you can reset the contact by pressing the ‘Reset’ button. The
contact will open and the LEDs will stop blinking.

The Alarm contact is also switched when the ProfiHub is in Redundant mode and one of the redundant paths
fails.

The maximum power to be connected to the alarm contact is 24 VDC. The maximum current consumption is
500 mA.

It is advised to use a Limited Power Source (LPS) of NEC Class 2 or CEC Class 2 for powering the alarm contact.

2.7 Backbone
Connect the DP backbone cable to the bottom-left connector of the Main-Channel (Fig. 13). If the ProfiHub is
not the last device on the bus segment, connect the Bus-Out cable to the right connector of the Main-Channel
(Fig. 13). The second method is to place a PROFIBUS standardized plug with an in/out cable on the DB9
connector.

2.9 Termination
The termination of the Main-Channel has been set to OFF by default. If the ProfiHub is the last device on the
segment, the termination must be set to ON (Fig. 15).

The termination of the Channels have been set to ON by default, because it is assumed that the new segment is
started at the ProfiHub (Fig. 15).

The termination LED of the corresponding Channel is activated when the termination switch is set to ON.

When the DB9 connector is used and the cable starts at the ProfiHub, it is recommended to use the
 termination on the DB9 plug and NOT the ProfiHub. This way, the connector can be removed while
maintaining termination on the bus.

2.10 Baudrate switch
The ProfiHub B5+R recognizes the transmission speed by default. If it is required that the ProfiHub B5+R is
locked to a certain transmission speed, the baudrate switch should be set to the required value (Fig. 16).

Baudrate switch

Fig. 16 - Baudrate speed switch

To set the rotary switch, use a 3 mm screwdriver.

Switch values:
0 = Normal repeating, Auto baudrate detect (default)
1 = fixed 9.6 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
2 = fixed 19.2 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
3 = fixed 45.45 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
4 = fixed 93.75 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
5 = fixed 187.5 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
6 = fixed 500 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
7 = fixed 1500 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
8 = fixed 3000 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
9 = fixed 6000 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
A = fixed 12000 kbps, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
B = Robust repeating, Auto baudrate detect, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
C = Robust repeating, Auto baudrate detect, redundancy on channel 4 and 5, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD
only)
D = Normal repeating, Auto baudrate detect, diagnostics device ON (B5+RD only)
E .. F = Reserved for future use

Please note that the position of the rotary switch is only sampled during start-up. Changing the position of the
switch will not have effect during operation.

The auto baudrate detect feature will search for the correct baud rate within 10 seconds of receiving the first
telegram. This baud rate lock will be lost after 50 seconds of incorrect or no message reception.

2.11 Robust Repeating Mode

The B5+ has two repeating modes: normal (default) and Robust Repeating (rotary switch setting B or C). In
normal mode the bits are transferred directly on the other channel with a minimal delay (see delay times in the
Technical Data chapter). In Robust mode, the first byte is checked to verify if the following bits are a real
PROFIBUS message. If the byte is corrupt, the message will not be transferred to the other channel. This helps
network stability in EMC sensitive environments.

ATTENTION:
Using the ProfiHub B5+R in Robust Repeating mode causes a delay in processing the telegrams. It is required to
increase the default MinTSDR in the PLC busparameters slightly. Recommended is to increase the MinTSDR
with a value according to the Delay Time table, column ‘Robust Mode’, described in the Technical Data chapter.
Generally a MinTSDR of 25 is sufficient.

2.11 Channel Redundancy

To use the Redundancy option of the B5+R, set the rotary switch to the ‘C’ position.
This enables the last two channels (4 and 5) to be one redundant path to another B5+R, to a redundant
ComBricks, or to any other supporting product. See Fig. 17 for an example.

Both Hubs are in

redundancy mode

Fig. 17 - Redundant path between two ProfiHubs

The telegrams are transferred onto both redundant channels. The logic inside the ProfiHub determines which
telegram is used to be transferred onto the other channels. A message received by a redundant channel is
repeated on all other channels, except the other redundant channel. A message received by a normal channel
is repeated on all other channels.

When one redundant cable breaks, the other cable ensures safe delivery of the telegram. In this event the
built-in alarm contact will close. The red ‘ERROR’ LED will blink with an interval of 100ms. When the redundant
path is fixed, press the ‘ALARM RESET’ pushbutton to reset the alarm.

ATTENTION:
Using the ProfiHub B5+R in Redundancy mode causes a delay in processing the telegrams. It is required to
increase the default MinTSDR in the PLC busparameters slightly. Recommended is to increase the MinTSDR
with a value according to the Delay Time table, column ‘Robust Mode’, described in the Technical Data chapter.
Generally a MinTSDR of 25 is sufficient.

3 Diagnostics Device
The B5+R is available with a built-in Diagnostics Device option. The order code for this ProfiHub B5 with
diagnostics device is 17020RD.

The Diagnostics Device is a very versatile statistics/diagnostics logger. It can be used to keep track of the overall
PROFIBUS network health and inform the PLC or DCS of any network failure such as repeats or illegals, missing
ProfiHub termination, live list changes, or power supply problems. Audible or visible feedback is also possible
by automatically switching the integrated alarm relay.

This information can also be read easily with ProfiTrace because the Diagnostic Device sends this data over
PROFIBUS. This enables maintenance engineers to immediately identify the affected segment in case of cable
problems or instrument failure. Having a Diagnostics Device in your network dramatically decreases downtime
because problems can be solved much quicker; it tells you where to look. SCADA applications can make this
even easier.

problem

Fig. 18 – Cable problems or node loss can be identified by the ProfiHub channel, and send this information over PROFIBUS to the PLC.
ProfiTrace can also read this.

The following statistics and events are continuously monitored:

Events: Statistics:
Alarm Relay opened/closed Losts
Cable Redundancy change Syncs
Baudrate change Repeats (total)
Power input changed Repeats (max. changed in 1 cycle)
Termination of Channel changed Illegals
Communication on Channel stopped/started Internal Diagnostics
Livelist changed (station removed or added) External Diagnostics
Diagnostics while in Data Exchange

All of these events and statistics can be transferred in four different ways, so that the PLC/DCS or user can be
warned that something is happening in the PROFIBUS network: a PROFIBUS input message, a diagnostic
message, an external diagnostics message, or it can trigger the built-in alarm relay.

3.1 Setting up the Diagnostics Device

3.1.1 Enabling the Diagnostics Device

To enable the Diagnostics Device in the ProfiHub, set the rotary switch on the top left side to any position from
1 to D (for a complete list of rotary switch settings, refer to the Technical Data chapter). Next, power-cycle the
device by removing power and applying the power again. The rotary switch position is only read during start-up
of the ProfiHub.

3.1.2 Changing the default PROFIBUS address

By default the address of the Diagnostic Device is set to 126. To change the address, use a configuration tool
which supports the ‘Set Slave Address’ command. Most configuration tools support this feature.

3.3 Parameterizing the Diagnostic Device
The Diagnostic Device has many user-definable parameters that can be changed, to alter the behaviour and
options of the ProfiHub Diagnostics Device.

3.3.1 Diagnostics
The Diagnostics Device sends a diagnostic message on PROFIBUS whenever certain conditions are changed.
These changes can be any of the following:

• Livelist change (a station added or removed)

• Bitrate error
• Alarm relay active
• Power status changed (one of the two power sources added or removed)
• Redundancy status change (one of the redundant cables added or removed)
• Termination status change (a termination switch on the ProfiHub has been changed)
• Channel status change (communication stopped or started on a channel)
• Statistics change (any statistic has changed)

In your configuration tool you can toggle the diagnostics for each item.

Fig. 21 - Screenshot of ProfiCaptain - User Parameter window

The 8th byte of a diagnostic message from the Diagnostic Device indicates which options have been enabled or
disabled.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 30/53

3.3.2 Statistics
You can choose which Statistics can trigger a diagnostic message, because not all statistics are interesting in all
networks. For example, Syncs have been disabled by default because this is not a statistic that is suitable for
PROFIBUS health monitoring.

Fig. 22 – You can choose which statistics trigger a diagnostic message

The following Statistics can trigger a diagnostic message of the Diagnostic Device:

• Lost changed • Illegals changed

• Sync changed • Internal Diagnostics changed
• Repeats (total) changed • External Diagnostics changed
• Repeats (max) changed • Diagnostics in Data Exchange changed

3.3.3 Extended Diagnostics on Events change

For more critical applications you can choose to enable the ‘Extended Diagnostics’ option for each of the
previously mentioned events. In the case of such an event, the Diagnostics Device will send out a diagnostics
message with the ‘Extended Diagnostic’ bit on. In a Busmonitor tool such as ProfiTrace the extended
diagnostics bit will appear as a red blinking square.

All Events described in paragraph 0 can trigger the Extended Diagnostic bit of the Diagnostic Device. By default,
the Extended Diagnostic option is disabled. Each item can be enabled individually.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 31/53

3.3.4 Extended Diagnostics on Statistics change
The Extended Diagnostic option can also be enabled for each individual available statistic. This works the same
way as the Events described in paragraph 0.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 32/53

3.3.5 Alarm Relay on Events change
The Alarm Relay on the ProfiHub can be switched on each Event described in paragraph 0. When such an Event
occurs, the Relay will be switched immediately without delay. The only Event that can delay the switching of
the Alarm Relay is the Lost event. See paragraph 0 for an explanation.

3.3.6 Alarm relay on Statistics change

The Alarm Relay on the ProfiHub can be switched (closed) on each change in Statistics, described in paragraph
0. When such an (enabled) Statistic change occurs, the Relay will be switched immediately without delay. The
only Statistic that can delay the closing of the Alarm Relay is the Lost event. See paragraph 0 for an explanation.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 33/53

3.3.7 Changing the Diagnostics duration/timeout
You can change the duration of the Extended Diagnostics warning in steps of 100 milliseconds. The default
value is 10, so 1 second. The maximum value is 255.

3.3.8 Changing the Device Lost timeout

The Diagnostics Device waits for a certain time before it considers a slave to be lost. This works in a similar way
as the ProfiTrace Live List, where the background turns yellow when a slave stops communicating. This timeout
can be changed in steps of 1 second. Default value is 5, and maximum value is 255.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 34/53

3.3.9 Changing the data format
The data format can be changed if needed. Default is Motorola, high-low-byte format.
You can change it to Intel, low-high-byte format.

3.4 ProfiTrace plugin for the Diagnostic Device

On the download section of www.procentec.com you can download a useful plugin for the Diagnostic Device.
It interprets all messages to and from the Diagnostic Device and displays the data in the Info Panel of
ProfiTrace.

3.4.1 Installing the Plugin

Once you have downloaded the file and extracted it to your hard drive, start ProfiTrace and choose ‘Settings –
Plugins’ to bring up the Plugin window.

Click ‘Install Plugin’ and locate it on your harddrive.

Next, click ‘Enabled’ so that ProfiTrace starts the plugin on startup.

ProfiHub B5+R / B5+RD Manual | April 2017 | © PROCENTEC 36/53
3.4.2 Using the Plugin
When the Plugin is correctly started and you have a ProfiHub with Diagnostics Device running, click ‘Start
Message Recording’ in ProfiTrace, and view the screen with messages (see Fig. 23). If you click on a data
exchange message to or from a Diagnostics Device, you will see all the interpreted data bytes in the Info Panel.
This is very useful for Troubleshooting activities.

A good example is the Statistics. These statistics are available per individual channel or station address (see
paragraph 3.3.2), so it is easy to see the source of the problem.

Address Unique number of a device connected to the network. With PROFIBUS this can
be 0 to 126. 127 is a broadcast address.

Analyzer Software tool to observe the protocol traffic. Combi-Analyzers can also inspect
the signal quality.
Other term: Bus Monitor.
Example: ProfiTrace.

Backbone The primary bus cable. Most of the time only the control systems, ProfiHubs and
fiber optic couplers are connected to this cable. The field devices are connected
behind the ProfiHubs and fiber optic couplers.

Bit Time (Tbit) The bit time Tbit is the time, which elapses during the transmission of one bit. It
depends on the baudrate and is calculated as follows Tbit = 1 (bit) / baudrate
(bps).
Examples:
12 Mbps --> Tbit = 83 ns
1.5 Mbps --> Tbit = 667 ns

Busparameters Settings that define the timing behaviour on the bus. They are defined in the
master. Examples: Tslot, MaxTSDR.

DP-V0 DP-V0 is the basic stage of the PROFIBUS DP communication protocol. DP-V0
devices (master and slaves) perform the following basic functionalities:
- Cyclic exchange of I/O data between controlling and slave devices
- Device, Identifier (module) and Channel related Diagnosis
- Parameterization of DP-slaves
- Configuration of DP-slaves

DP-V1 DP-V1 is the first stage of extension of PROFIBUS DP after DP-V0. DP-V1 devices
shall comply with the following features:
- Device related diagnosis is replaced by status and alarms.
- The first three octets of the user parameterization data are now standardized
- Optionally these devices may support:
- Acyclic communication (MS1, MS2)
- If alarms are used, MS1 shall be supported

Compatibility

EMC The extent to which an electric or electronic device will tolerate electrical
interference from other equipment (immunity), and will interfere with other
equipment. Within the European Community as well as in other countries it is
regulated by law that electric and electronic components and equipment comply
with basic standards such as IEC 61000-6-2 or IEC 61326 or corresponding
individual product standards.

Hub A Hub refreshes a signal and passes the information on to all nodes which are
connected to the Hub. Data frames which were received on one port are
transferred to all the other ports (chicken foot topology).

- Isochronous mode of slaves
- Clock synchronization
- Redundancy
PROFIBUS DP is standardized within IEC 61158 and IEC 61784, communication
profile families 3/1 and 3/2
The term "PROFIBUS DP" also is a synonym for the RS485 based deployments
within factory automation.

Repeater Active physical layer device that receives and retransmits all signals over a
different port to increase the distance and number of devices for which signals
can be correctly transferred for a given medium.
