Introduction to the ILX56-PBS

This manual describes the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the ProSoft

ILX56-PBS PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 Slave module.

The ILX56-PBS slots into a 1756 ControlLogix backplane and allows the user to interface PROFIBUS DP to a ControlLogix controller via the ControlLogix backplane.

The ILX56-PBS can operate as one or more PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 Slaves. This will allow a ControlLogix controller to exchange process, alarming, and diagnostic data with a PROFIBUS DP Master.

Figure 1.1

– Typical ILX56-PBS PROFIBUS Slave architecture




Preface

User Manual

1.2

Features

The ILX56-PBS will allow the user to interface PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 to a

ControlLogix controller via the 1756 ControlLogix backplane. The ILX56-PBS also supports an onboard non-volatile event log for improved fault finding.

PROFIBUS Slave (ILX56-PBS)

The ILX56-PBS can also be configured to emulate up to 10 PROFIBUS slave devices. Each slave device emulated by the ILX56-PBS can be configured to provide

DPV0 data exchange with a PROFIBUS Master on the network.

The data will be formatted into the engineering units for use in a ControlLogix platform by using the automatically-generated mapping imports for Logix User

Defined Data Types (UDTs).

Each emulated slave can also be configured to exchange DPV1 Class 1 data by mapping Logix tags for the relevant DPV1 data exchange. Each emulated slave will also be able to provide DPV1 alarming for the PROFIBUS Master.

DPV1 Class 1 Messaging (MS1)

The ILX56-PBS supports DPV1 Class 1 (MS1) messaging. See the DPV1 Objects in the PLX50 Configuration Utility device configuration section for more information regarding the configuration of the DPV1 Objects. The user can configure several slot and index combinations for DPV1 Class 1 communication (for each added

PROFIBUS Slave device).

When the PROFIBUS Master sends a DPV1 read/write command for the configured slot and index, the ILX56-PBS will access the configured Logix tag to provide the required data. The data that will be written or read will be extracted from the Logix

SINT array configured in the DPV1 objects of the device configuration window. The following is an example of the DPV1 operation.

Figure 4.4

– ILX56-PBS DPV1 Object exchange

Alarming

The ILX56-PBS supports DPV1 Alarming. The user can trigger an alarm from the

Logix device output assembly which will notify the PROFIBUS Master that a new alarm has been generated. When the PROFIBUS Master sends a DPV1 alarm read command, the ILX56-PBS will access the configured Logix tag to provide the required data for the specific alarm.

NOTE: The ILX56-PBS can only allow one alarm to be triggered at a time.

To trigger an alarm notification for the PROFIBUS Master, the user will need to toggle (from 0 to 1) the AlarmTrigger tag as shown below:

Figure 4.5 – ILX56-PBS Slave Alarm Trigger

Once the alarm has been triggered, the ILX56-PBS will read the alarm data from the

Logix tag and add it to the PROFIBUS diagnostics (which will then be read by the

PROFIBUS Master).

When the PROFIBUS Master acknowledges the alarm, the SlaveAlarmAck bit in the input assembly for the field device will be set indicating to the Logix controller that the next alarm can be triggered.

User Manual

7.1

Introduction

PROFIBUS is a vendor-independent, open Fieldbus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing, process and building automation. Vendor independence and openness are guaranteed by the PROFIBUS standard EN 50 170.

With PROFIBUS, devices of different manufacturers can communicate without special interface adjustments. PROFIBUS can be used for both high-speed time critical data transmission and extensive complex communication tasks. The

PROFIBUS family consists of three compatible versions.

7.1.1 PROFIBUS DP

Optimized for high speed and inexpensive hookup, this PROFIBUS version is designed especially for communication between automation control systems and distributed I/O at the device level. PROFIBUS-DP can be used to replace parallel signal transmission with 24 V or 4-20 mA.

To utilize these functions, various service levels of the DP protocol were defined:



DP-V0 provides the basic functionality of DP, including o cyclic data exchange, o station, module and channel-specific diagnostics



DP-V1 contains enhancements geared towards process automation, in particular o acyclic data communication for parameter assignment o alarm handling



DP-V2 for isochronous mode and data exchange broadcast (slave-to-slave communication)

7.1.2 PROFIBUS PA

PROFIBUS PA is designed especially for process automation. It permits sensors and actuators to be connected on one common bus line through a dedicated DP/PA gateway or link between the PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA networks, even in intrinsically-safe areas. PROFIBUS PA permits data communication and power over the bus using a 2-wire technology according to the international standard IEC 1158-

2.

7.1.3

PROFIBUS FMS

PROFIBUS FMS is the general-purpose solution for communication tasks at the cell level. Powerful FMS services open up a wide range of applications and provide great flexibility. PROFIBUS FMS can also be used for extensive and complex communication tasks. This protocol is the first developed for PROFIBUS, but it is no longer currently used.

PROFIBUS specifies the technical and functional characteristics of a serial fieldbus system with which decentralized digital controllers can be networked together from the field level to the cell level.

7.2 PROFIBUS master and slave

PROFIBUS distinguishes between master devices and slave devices.

Master devices determine the data communication on the bus. A master can send messages without an external request when it holds the bus access rights (the token). Masters are also called ' active stations ' in the PROFIBUS protocol.

Slave devices are peripheral devices. Typical slave devices include input/output devices, valves, drives and measuring transmitters. They do not have bus access rights and they can only acknowledge received messages or send messages to the master when requested to do so. Slaves are also called ' passive stations '

7.3

PROFIBUS master class 1 (DPM1) or class 2 (DPM2)

7.3.1 PROFIBUS DP Master class 1 (DPM1)

A class 1 master handles the normal communication or exchange of data with the slaves assigned to it. This is typically a PLC.

It uses cyclic communication to exchange process data with its associated slaves.

The class 1 mast er sets the baud rate and the slave’s auto-detect this rate. Each slave device is assigned to one master and only that master may write output data to that slave. Other masters may read information from any slave but can only write output data to their own assigned slaves.

7.3.2

PROFIBUS DP Master class 2 (DPM2)

A class 2 master is a special device primarily used for commissioning slaves and for diagnostic purposes. This is typically a Supervisor. It uses acyclic communication over what is known as the MS2 channel . A DPM2 does not have to be permanently connected to the bus system.

7.4

Cyclic communication

The DP master class 1 cyclically exchanges data with all of the slaves assigned to it.

This service is configured. During the configuration process, master and slave addresses are assigned, the bus parameters are defined, the types and numbers of modules (in the case of modular slaves) are specified, user-selectable parameter choices are made, etc.

Before data exchange can take place, the master will send parameterization and configuration telegrams to all of its assigned slaves. These parameters and configuration data are checked by the slaves. If both are valid, the master will initiate cyclic I/O data communication with the slave devices.




PROFIBUS DP

User Manual

7.5

Acyclic communication

In addition to the cyclic data exchange, the PROFIBUS protocol has the option of acyclic communication. This service is not configured. There are 2 different communication channels possible between the requested master and the slave:



MS1 channel (MS1 connection): can only be established if cyclic data exchange is taking place between that master (DPM1) and the slave



MS2 channel (MS2 connection): is possible with several masters simultaneously, but the connection must be established explicitly by the master.

Acyclic reading and writing of data requires an established MS1 or MS2 connection.

For the MS1 channel, 3 conditions must be satisfied:



The slave device must support the MS1 channel (key C1_Read_Write_supp at 1 in the GSD file)



The DPV1_enable bit must be set during the parameter assignment



Data exchange is taking place

For the MS2 channel, the connection must be explicitly initiated by the master. The maximum number of possible MS2 connections to the slave must not be reached.

The connection can be closed by either the master or the slave device.

7.6 Topology of PROFIBUS DP

PROFIBUS devices are connected in a bus structure. Up to 32 stations (master or slaves) can be connected in one segment. The bus is terminated by an active bus terminator at the beginning and end of each segment. Both bus terminations must always be powered. When more than 32 stations are used, repeaters (line amplifiers) must be used to connect the individual bus segments.

7.7 PROFIBUS DP cable description

Only one type of cable can be used for PROFIBUS network:
