ABB AC800M PROFIBUS DP Installation System
Fieldbus systems are used as a means of communications for serial data exchange
between decentralized devices on the field level and the controller of the process
supervision level.
PROFIBUS means PROcess FIeldBUS, designed as a fieldbus for process
automation purposes for interconnecting Decentralized Peripheral devices
(PROFIBUS DP), and its extended version for Process Automation (PROFIBUS
PA). It is well known all over the world and the most popular fieldbus in Europe.
Due to its high data transmission rates over short distances and moderate ones over
long distances it is predominantly used for interconnecting I/O units like S800 /
S900 or smart devices to PLCs and controller like AC 800M.
This user manual provides a brief overview of the PROFIBUS technology, to help you
by planning, commissioning and testing. It does not release you from the necessity to
observe the relevant standards. The valid version of the EMC directive and other
PROFIBUS guidelines and the shield and grounding directives, particular for
PROFIBUS-PA must be observed.
PROFIBUS is a manufacturer-independent fieldbus standard for applications in
manufacturing, process and building automation. PROFIBUS technology is
described in fixed terms in DIN 19245 as a German standard and in EN 50170 / IEC
61158 as an international standard. It specifies the technical and functional
properties of a serial bus system. The PROFIBUS standard is thus available to every
provider of automation product.
PROFIBUS distinguishes between master and slave. The masters determine the data
communication on the bus. A master can send messages without an external request
if it has access rights to the bus (token). The slaves are peripheral devices. Typical
slaves are I/O devices, valves, motors and transmitters. They have no bus access
rights. They can only confirm received messages or send a message on the request
of the master. Slaves are passive devices on the PROFIBUS.
PROFIBUS is composed of three types of protocol, each of which is used for
different tasks. Of course, devices with all three protocols can communicate with
each other in a complex system by means of a PROFIBUS network.
The three types of protocols are: PROFIBUS FMS, DP, PA.
Communication Protocols
At the protocol level, PROFIBUS offers a broad spectrum of options, which enables
optimum communication between different applications. PROFIBUS DP is a fast
and deterministic process data exchange between a PROFIBUS master and the
assigned slave devices.
Presently the basic and extended functions supported with AC 800M/CI854(A) are:
• Basic function (V0):
– Cyclic data transfer
– Diagnostic
– Configuration via GSD files
• Extended function V1:
– Acyclic data transfer
– Alarm handling (planned, but not supported yet)
– FDT/DTM device management
– Function blocks acc. IEC 61131-3
RS485 installation recommendation
Problems with data transmission in PROFIBUS networks can be attributed to
incorrect wiring or installation. These problems can often be solved using bus test
equipment such as bus monitors, which are able to detect many typical wiring errors
even before commissioning.
The list below helps to build up a RS485 network quick and accurate:
• Only use shielded and twisted-pair wiring as a RS485 bus line.
• Use a PROFIBUS bus connector plug to connect the RS485 bus segment.
• If the module is at the beginning or end of a bus segment, this connector must
have an activated bus terminal resistor combination.
• Ensure that the bus segment connected to the RS485 interface is terminated at
both ends.
• All PROFIBUS bus connector plugs in a network must be securely screwed
onto the RS485 interfaces.
• Attaching or removing the bus connector plugs, inadequately attached bus
connector plugs or loose bus wires within the plug can lead to malfunctions in
the networks.
• Attach or remove the RS485 bus connector plug quickly and without twisting
them.
The hardware units which form the AC 800M Controller are:
• Processor units (including base plates)
• Communication interfaces for different protocols (including base plates)
• Power supply units, providing various power output levels
• Battery back-up unit
• For High Integrity systems control applications with AC 800M HI, special module
SM812, is needed
Once configured, the AC 800M hardware platform effectively becomes the AC 800M
Controller.
Equipped with the specified Control Software, the AC 800M Controller can be used for
all kinds of process and industrial automation applications. With Control Software, the
controller can act either as a stand alone process controller or as a controller, performing
local control tasks, in a control network consisting of many interconnected computers.
The AC 800M Controller is delivered without firmware. To provide the controller with
Control Software, it will first be necessary to load the firmware and create
the application separately by using the Control Builder interface.
