SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is an open and robustly designed bus-type local area network
(LAN) for industrial applications. It can be used to configure networks with
up to 127 stations. PROFIBUS has a data transfer rate of 1.5 million bps.
PROFIBUS operates on the master-slave principle with token passing
(corresponds to EN 50170). It distinguishes between active and passive
stations. An active station receives the token and passes it on to the next
station within a specified time.
You need the following components, for instance, for networking with
PROFIBUS:
CP 5412
RS 485 bus terminal
RS 485 interface
Shielded twisted two-wire cable (LAN cable)
Note
You will find more detailed information on the SIMATIC NET modules in
the Catalog IK 10 (Order No. E86060-K6710-A101-Ax).
For information on how to install the modules and make any modifications
to the network configuration, please refer to the installation instructions for
the various modules.
