17、ange (DPV0) opera-tion of a PROFIBUS network. It will not deal with how you set up the network to operate. Chapter 2 will discuss that topic. Here, we will cover four basic aspects of a PROFIBUS DP net-work:Master/Slave Concept: A general overview of device interactions.Device and System Startup: Ju

19、it detects a diagnostic con-dition, for example, a wire break on an out-put point?Profibus04.book Page 4 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AMBASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATION 51.1 Master/Slave ConceptPROFIBUS DP is a network that is made up of two types of devices connected to the bus: mas-ter devices

20、and slave devices. It is a bi-directional network, meaning that one device, a master, sends a request to a slave, and the slave responds to that request. Thus, bus contention is not a problem because only one master can control the bus at any time, and a slave device must respond immediately to a re

21、quest from a master. Since a request from a master to a slave device is heard by all devices attached to the bus, some mechanism must exist for a slave device to rec-ognize that a message is designated for it and then respond to the sender. Hence, each device on a PROFIBUS network must have an assig

22、ned address. For specifying the address, most devices have either rotary switches (decimal or hexadeci-mal) or DIP switches. Some few devices require that their address be set across the bus using a configuration tool. This concept will be dis-cussed in the next chapter.The PROFIBUS protocol support

23、s addresses from 0 to 127. However, addresses 126 and 127 have special uses (discussed in Chapter 2) and Profibus04.book Page 5 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AM6 BASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATIONmay not be assigned to operational devices. Address 0 has become something of a default address that ven

24、dors assign to network configu-ration and/or programming tools attached to the bus. Thus, the addresses that may be used in practice for operational devices for example, PLCs, I/O nodes, drives, encoders, and the like are 1 to 125.1.2 Device and System StartupThe user specifies which slave devices t

25、he master should find on the bus as well as what informa-tion is to be transferred from the master to each slave during this startup phase. (Relaxthis is much easier than you might think!) All of the information that the master must know to start up the bus comes from a configuration database file t

26、hat is generated by a PROFIBUS configura-tion tool.Each vendor of PROFIBUS master devices offers a configuration tool for generating the database file for their masters. However, once one has learned how to use any of these tools, it is gener-ally quite easy to transfer this knowledge to another too

27、l because all PROFIBUS configura-Profibus04.book Page 6 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AMBASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATION 7tion tools must share certain common function-ality. A configuration tool for cyclic I/O operation must be able to do the following:process GSD (device description) files and m

28、aintain a hardware catalog of devices to be configured on the busallow the PROFIBUS device address to be specifiedallow the specification of the input and out-put data to be transferred between master and slave allow certain startup parameters to be selected in order to activate specific operat-ing

29、modes or features of the deviceallow selection of the system baud rategenerate the database file so it can be used by the masterAt the same time a vendor develops a slave device, it must develop a device description (GSD) file. This file completely describes the PROFIBUS functionality of the device

30、for example, baud rates supported, possible input/Profibus04.book Page 7 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AM8 BASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATIONoutput data configurations, startup parameter choices, and so on. These GSD files can typi-cally be downloaded via the Internet either from or from an individ

31、ual ven-dors web site. Once you “install” the GSD file for a device into the PROFIBUS configuration tool, it will appear in the tools hardware catalog, which enables it to be configured for bus opera-tion. The installation process varies for different con-figuration tools, although it is extremely s

32、imple in any case. In some tools, installation consists of nothing more than copying the GSD file into a “gsd subdirectory,” while in others one simply “imports” the new GSD file into the hardware catalog by selecting that option from a menu.Once all the appropriate GSD files are installed into the

33、configuration tool, you can define a bus configuration. This is a straightforward process. You first pick the appropriate master from the master device list in the hardware catalog and assign a PROFIBUS address. Not surprisingly, you will generally see only master devices from a specific vendor with

34、in that vendors configura-tion tool! This is nothing to be concerned Profibus04.book Page 8 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AMBASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATION 9about. We are really only concerned that the tool process the standard GSD files for slave devices, and it is required to do this. You repea

35、t the following steps until the entire bus configu-ration has been described: Select a slave device, assign the PROFIBUS address, specify the I/O to be exchanged, and select the appropriate parameters for the desired operation of the device. You then save this bus configuration file and generate the

36、 configuration database.You can now load this configuration database file into the master device. The mechanism for loading the database file into the master may vary with each vendor. The most common mechanism is to download the file into the mas-ter via a serial port. Some configuration tools allo

37、w you to load the file into a flash memory card that is then inserted into the master for download. Some older systems required an EPROM to be programmed and then inserted into the master for download. No matter what mechanism is used, after download, the master has the information necessary to star

38、t up all the devices in its configuration. This information is stored in retentive memory. Figure 1-2 depicts Profibus04.book Page 9 Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:49 AM10 BASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATIONthe functionality of a PROFIBUS configuration tool.Figure 1-2 PROFIBUS Configuration Tool Function

39、alityThe master must now determine if the devices at the assigned addresses contained within the con-figuration database are physically on the bus and initialize them for “operational” or “data-exchange ” mode. To get the devices into this mode a PROFIBUS master goes through a well-defined sequence

40、of interactions with each of the slave devices in its bus configuration.Figure 1-3 shows the steps in the startup sequence for a slave device. For instance, if the master device experiences a power loss, when it powers back up it uses the configuration data-Profibus04.book Page 10 Wednesday, Septemb

41、er 24, 2003 10:49 AMBASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATION 11base in retentive memory to go through the star-tup sequence with each device in its config-uration to get all devices back into operational mode. If a slave device fails and must be replaced, the master recognizes that a replace-ment device of the

42、same type and with the same PROFIBUS address has been attached to the bus. When it does, it goes through this same startup sequence and automatically brings the device into operational mode.

43、AM12 BASICS OF PROFIBUS OPERATION1.3 Cyclic I/O Data ExchangeAfter the bus system has been “started up”, the normal interaction between a master and each of its assigned slaves is to exchange I/O data, as shown in Figure 1-4. The master, a PLC with a PROFIBUS interface, for example, sends output dat

44、a to a slave device in its configuration. The addressed slave immediately responds with its input data. It is important to grasp this concept of output data sent from the master to the slave and input data returned from the slave to the master. This “directional” attribute of the I/O is identical to

45、 I/O that is hardwired directly to backplane I/O in a PLC rack. It typically maps into the input and output areas of PLC memory, as shown in Figure 1-5, and can generally be accessed by the PLC logic program in exactly the same way as backplane I/O. This cyclic (repeated) I/O data exchange takes pla

46、ce asynchronously to the con-trol logic scan and is repeated as quickly as possi-ble. Data exchange takes place every cycle for every slave in a masters configuration. At the most com-monly used baud rate of 1,500kbit/s, data-exchange cycles are normally repeated many times during a single control-logic scan.
