8.12.2 Profibus DP
Introduction
The inverter that is fitted with the Profibus DP Kit operates in slave mode,
allowing the reading/writing of their parameters through a master. The inverter
does not start the communication with other nodes, it only answers to the
master controls. A twisted pair of copper cable realizes the connection of the
Fieldbus (RS-485) allowing the data transmission at rates between 9.6 kbits/s
and 12 Mbits/s. Figure 8.39 show a general view of a Profibus DP network.
- Fieldbus Type: PROFIBUS DP EN 50170 (DIN 19245)
Physical Interface
- Transmission means: Profibus bus bar line, type A or B as specified in
EN50170.
- Topology: Master-Slave communication.
- Insulation: the bus is supplied by DC/DC inverter and isolated galvanically
from remaining electronics and the signals A and B are isolated by means
of optocouplers.
- It allows the connection/disconnection of only one node without affecting
the network.
