CHAPTER 2. INSTALLATION
4)
5)
6)
The installation of the Model 2500C-RBC-PRF Profibus Remote Base Controller consists of the following steps:
1)
2)
3)
Planning the installation,
Verifying power requirements
Unpacking and configuring the module,
Physical installation,
Connecting cables,
Checking the module operation.
2.1. Installation Planning
Choosing Profibus Media
The 2500C-RBC-PRF attaches directly to the Profibus-DP RS485 cable using a DB9 connector.
The Profibus organization recommends using bus cable as specified in EN 50170 part 8-2 and
“Cable Type A”, and should comply with the parameters below. An example cable of this type would be Belden 3079A.
For more information on Profibus installation guidelines, see Appendix A.
Wiring the Profibus Connector
The Profibus connector should be wired as shown in Section 2.6. For more information, refer to
Appendix A.
Selecting a Profibus Address
Before proceeding, you must determine what Profibus address you will assign to the module.
Profibus addresses range from 0 to 127. In CTI 2500 Series and Simatic® 505 systems, address 0 and addresses 113-127 are not valid. Therefore, any address between 2 and 112 is valid for the
2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4 3
RBC when installed in these systems. Note that each slave node and the master must have a unique address on the bus. The master address is normally set to 1 and the first available slave address is 2.
Selecting a Profibus Speed
Before proceeding, you must determine your Profibus operating speed. The 2500C-RBC-PRF supports Profibus speed from 9.6K bits/s to 12M bits/s. For more information on selecting Profibus speed see Section 3.5.
Selecting Slave Parameters
The 2500C-RBC-PRF supports four parameterization options. These options are set using
WorkShop, or using the “parameters” tab for the remote base. For more information about these settings, see “Setting Profibus Slave Parameters” in Section 3.7.
Setting Module Hardware Options
In addition to the Profibus address, the module includes a hardware setting for selecting the state of the base discrete outputs in the event of a communications loss. The module can be configured to set all outputs off, or to leave outputs at their last values.
2.2. Power Requirements
The CTI 2500C-RBC-PRF module consumes 2.5 watts of +5 VDC power from the backplane.
Before installing the RBC, verify that your mounting base power budget can accommodate the required power.
2.3. Unpacking the Module
Open the shipping carton and remove the special anti-static bag that contains the module.
After discharging any static build-up, remove the module from the static bag. Do not discard the static bag. Always use this bag for protection against static damage when the module is not inserted into the I/O base.
CAUTION:
The components on the 2500C-RBC-PRF module printed circuit card can be damaged by static electricity discharge. To prevent this damage, the module is shipped in a special antistatic bag. Static control precautions should be followed when removing the module from the bag and when handling the printed circuit card during configuration.

2.4. Configuring the Module
There are four steps to configuring the module and getting it operational on a Profibus network:
1. Setting the Module Address Switches
2. Setting the output state on communication loss
(Freeze Jumper – JP1)
3. Setting software parameters in WorkShop
4. Configuring the remote base in WorkShop
For detailed information on using Workshop to configure a remote base with the 2500C-RBC-PRF, refer to Chapter 3.
Freeze Jumper (JP1)
Setting the Module Address Switches
The bank of DIP switches on the 2500C-RBC-PRF are used to select the RBC’s Profibus address.
Figure 2 indicates the location of the Module Address
Switches and the Freeze Jumper. The remainder of this section describes the function of the individual switches.
Profibus Address Switches
Figure 3. Switch Locations
Profibus Address Switches are labeled BIT 0 through
BIT 6 and correspond to Switch 1 through Switch 7.
These are used to assign a station address to the RBC for identification on the Profibus-DP I/O channel. Each station in the Profibus network must be uniquely numbered. The station address is assigned as a binary number, with BIT 0 as the most significant bit (MSB) and BIT 6 as the least significant (LSB). Table 1 shows how to set the dipswitch to a station address between 0 and 125.
Note that a switch in the “open” position=1 and a switch in the “closed” position=0.
SW8 – Not Used. This switch position is not used.
NOTE:
The Module Address Switches are read only at module startup. If you change the switch position after startup, you must reset the module before the setting will take effect.

Setting the Output State on Communications Loss
When I/O channel communication to a remote base is lost, the state of the discrete outputs is determined by the selection made on the 2500C-RBC-PRF jumper (JP1) - Off/Freeze.
The Freeze jumper (JP1) determines the state of outputs when I/O channel communication is lost:
Off (Jumper position 1-2) - All outputs are turned off
Freeze (Jumper position 2-3) - All outputs hold their last value.
For discrete output modules, the state of the outputs is determined solely by the position of the
Off/Freeze jumper (JP1) on the 2500C-RBC-PRF.
Figure 3. Switch Locations shows the location of jumper (JP1) on the 2500C-RBC-PRF circuit
board.
NOTE:
The 2500C-RBC-PRF ships with the FREEZE jumper (JP1) in the OFF setting.
NOTE:
If the jumper JP1 is missing from the board, the 2500C-RBC-PRF defaults to the OFF setting.
For analog/word output modules, the state of the outputs is influenced not only by the position of the Off/Freeze jumper (JP1) but by the output module’s (Zero/Hold Last Value) selection, if the module has that option. See the table below.

Notice that the Freeze option on the RBC overrides the Zero selection on the analog/word output module; likewise, when Hold Last Value is selected on the analog/word output module, that selection overrides the “Off” option on the RBC jumper.

2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4
Setting Software Parameters in WorkShop
The 2500C-RBC-PRF has parameters that are specified using the Workshop configuration utility software. Refer to the Chapter 3 for information about using Workshop. The paragraphs below describe the parameters used to set up the 2500C-RBC-PRF.
The Discrete I/O Interval parameter defines the rate in milliseconds at which the 2500C-RBC-PRF updates I/O modules. This parameter specifies the minimum time between updates of the discrete
I/O modules. Valid values are 1-255ms and the default value is 1ms.
The Word I/O Update Factor controls how often the word I/O modules are updated. The Word I/O
Factor is the number of discrete I/O updates performed per word update; for example, if the factor is
2, the word I/O modules are updated on every second discrete I/O update. Valid values are 1-255 times(x) and the default value is 2x.
The 505 Mismatch Mode parameter allows you to select the way I/O configuration mismatches are handled. With the default setting, “Disable,” the 2500C-RBC-PRF handles I/O configuration mismatches according to DP Standard mode, meaning that the configuration sent by the CPU to the
RBC must match the actual base configuration exactly, or else no I/O updates are performed. If you enable 505 Mismatch Mode, the RBC performs updates with all modules whose configuration matches, omitting only those modules whose configuration does not match. This mode of operation does not conform to the DP Standard. For detailed information about how mismatches are indicated and handled, see Section 2.8.
NOTE:
If module mismatch is enabled the decimal point on the status LED will be on.

To insert the module into the I/O base, hold the top and bottom of the bezel and slide the module carefully into the slot, pushing it all the way into the base. If you have inserted the module correctly, you will feel a slight increase in resistance as the module mates with the base backplane connector. Once the module is fully seated in the slot, tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom to hold the module in place. To remove the module from the I/O base, loosen the captive screws, then move the module. Take care not to damage the connector at the back of the module when inserting or removing the module.
2.6. Connecting the Profibus Cable
The Profibus port is used to connect the 2500C-RBC-PRF to a Profibus DP network. The figure below shows the required pinouts for the DB9 Profibus port.
NOTE:
NOTE: Pins 2 and 7 are “No Connect” for the RBC. For some PROFIBUS products, these pins are used to provide 24 VDC for powering a programming or configuration tool. Such tools are not powered by the RBC; however, it is acceptable for an externally-powered PROFIBUS programming or configuration tool to drive pins 2 and 7 to 24 VDC.

CAUTION:
Pin 5 (BIAS SUPPLY +5V) and Pin 6 (BIAS SUPPLY GND) on the Profibus-DP connector are designed to support termination of the Profibus-DP cable only. These pins have a limited output power capability of approximately 0.45W. Overloading these pins by using the voltage to drive other than the normal terminating resistors can cause internal component damage to the 2500C-RBC-PRF.
2.7. Diagnostics
The standard for PROFIBUS-DP I/O, DIN 19245, Part 3, stipulates the format that each DP slave shall use to report specific diagnostics to the DP master. The diagnostics used by the PROFIBUS-
DP RBC are described below.
NOTE: Byte 1 through Byte 15, as described in this text, correspond to Octet 1 through Octet 15 in the PROFIBUS standard. For PROFIBUS-DP I/O, Bit 7 is the most significant bit (MSB), 0 is the least significant bit (LSB). This may or may not correspond to the bit numbering scheme used in your master system. For example, CTI 2500 Series and Simatic® 505/500 controllers identify the
MSB of a byte as Bit 1, and the LSB of a byte as Bit 8. A DP diagnostic consists of two parts. The first part (Bytes 1 through 6) is standardized for all DP slaves. The second, or extended, part (Bytes
7 through 15 in the case of the RBC) is slave-specific. In the description that follows, it is assumed that the diagnostic has been successfully read from an RBC that has been configured and activated: that is, that Bytes 5 and 6 equal 0xBC and 0xD0, respectively.
2.8. Base Mismatch Handling in the 2500C-RBC-PRF
The 2500C-RBC-PRF automatically detects mismatches between the Profibus configuration expected by the Profibus Master and the actual remote base configuration. Depending on the type of mismatch and the configuration settings, the 2500C-RBC-PRF can operate normally or go offline and indicate a mismatch. The table below shows the response of the 2500C-RBC-PRF under various conditions.

2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4 13
2.9. Mismatch Handling
When 505 Ignore Mismatch is disabled and a module is inserted into an empty slot, the 2500C-
RBC-PRF ignores the inserted module and continues normal operation. The 505-6870 considers this situation a mismatch and takes the base offline.
When 505 Ignore Mismatch is disabled and the wrong module is inserted into a configured slot, the
2500C-RBC-PRF displays an “A”, takes the base offline, and sets outputs based on the freeze jumper setting. The 505-6870 displays a “2” and takes the base offline.
When 50X Ignore Mismatch is enabled and a module is inserted into an empty slot, the 2500C-
RBC-PRF ignores the inserted module and continues normal operation. The 505-6870 displays a
“2”, ignores the inserted module, and continues normal operation.
When Profibus is stopped from the PLC, the 2500C-RBC-PRF displays a “3”, sets outputs based on the freeze jumper setting, and turns inputs off. The 505-6870 displays a “3”, sets outputs based on the freeze jumper setting, and leaves inputs at their last state.
2.10. Diagnostics
The 2500C-RBC-PRF provides diagnostic information in the PLC available in status words and through execution of the RSD instruction in the ladder logic.
PLC Status Words
NOTE: For more information on STW diagnostics, see the Simatic® 545/555/575
Programming Reference, Appendix G.
STW147:
This PLC status word records the number of times, since the most recent start, that the Profibus-DP slaves have failed to respond to a request from the CPU. Each time communication is lost to the
2500C-RBC-PRF, STW147 increments by 1. When there is a base mismatch detected by the
2500C-RBC-PRF, STW147 increments continuously.
STW03-STW09
These 7 status words give the status for Profibus-DP slaves. Each bit corresponds to a particular
Profibus address, with STW03 Bit 16 being address 1 and STW09 Bit 1 being address 112. Each bit
= 0 if the address is present and operating. The bit = 1 if the address is not present or failed. When the 2500C-RBC-PRF loses communication or goes offline due to a mismatch, the corresponding bit for that address is set = 1.
STW211-STW217
These 7 status words contains the “enable” status of each Profibus address. If the slave is enabled, the bit = 1. If the slave is disabled, the bit = 0.
14
2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4
STW231 bits 1,2, and 16 indicate the OPERATE, CLEAR, and CONFIGURED state of the
Profibus-DP I/O system.
STW232-STW238 indicate the Profibus-DP slave that have signaled a diagnostic that has not been read by an RSD instruction. The slave’s bit is a 1 if a diagnostic has been signaled and not yet read.
Diagnostic Bytes from the 2500C-RBC-PRF
When an RSD instruction is executed, the 2500C-RBC-PRF returns 15 bytes of information which is stored according to the settings in the RSD instruction. In each byte, bit 7 is the MSB and bit 0 is the LSB.
Byte 1: Station_Status_1

2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4
Figure 16. Module Selection Screen
Each module in the remote base needs a unique starting I/O address. You can enter the starting I/O address of a module by clicking on the address field on the module row.
Figure 17. Module Addressing Screen
2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4 27
Modules that use X and Y memory must have unique addresses because X and Y variables share the same memory table on the CPU. An ‘X32’ and a ‘Y32’ cannot coexist in the same program.
Likewise, modules that use WX and WY memory must have unique memory addresses assigned.
However, because WX/WY memory is separate from X/Y memory, it is completely acceptable to have both a X32 and a WX32 in the same program.
NOTE:
The local base is defined as the rack that contains the CPU. Be careful that you do not overlap memory addresses with modules in your local base or other remote bases.
Example: If the local base rack uses addresses 1-32 of X/Y memory, the 8pt digital input card in slot
#1 of the first remote base must have a starting address of a least ‘33’ and will use memory addresses 33through 40. The next 8pt digital card will need a starting address of
41.
3.7. Setting Profibus Slave Parameters
The following Profibus parameters can be set for each profibus slave : Discrete I/O Update Interval,
Word I/O Update Factor, and 505 Mismatch Mode. These parameters are defined in section 2.4.
Click on the “Parameters” tab for the remote base.

According to EN 50170, a maximum of 4 repeaters are allowed between any two stations. Dependent on the repeater type and manufacturer, more than 4 repeaters are allowed in some cases. Refer to the manufacture r’s technical specification for details.
Cable Type
The bus cable is specified in EN 50170 part 8-2 as "Cable Type A", and should comply with the parameters in the following table. Cable Type B, which is also described in EN 50170, is outdated and should no longer be used.

Important: In a PROFIBUS-DP/FMS installation, you must choose a data transfer rate which is supported by all devices connected to the bus. The chosen data transfer rate then determines the maximum segment lengths as shown above.
The maximum admissible distance between two bus stations in each PROFIBUS network can be calculated as follows:
(NO_REP + 1) * Segment length
NO_REP= The maximum number of repeaters connected in series (depends on repeater type).
Bus termination
In order to minimize cable reflections and ensure a defined noise level on the data lines, the data transfer cable must be terminated at both ends with a terminating resistor combination as follows .
2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4 31
Bus connectors and PROFIBUS-DP/FMS interface
A bus connector is used to connect the bus cable to the PROFIBUS device. Bus connectors are available with a variety of protection classes and mechanical designs. The choice of connector is mainly determined by the space available in the vicinity of the PROFIBUS device (i.e. PC interface,
PLC or special fieldbus device). EN 50170 Volume 2 recommends the use of a 9-pin Sub-D connector. Depending on the required protection class and the application of the fieldbus device, other connector designs are also allowed. The table below shows the pin assignment if a 9-pin Sub-D connector is used:

Make sure that the connector type used is suitable for the selected baud rate.
To prevent EMC interference from entering the device, the cable shield should be connected to the functional ground of the device (generally the electrically conductive case). This is done by connecting the cable shield to the metal case of the Sub-D connector and the functional ground over a large area. The bus connector must have a low-impedance connection to the cable shield. The data transfer technology of the serial bus system, which uses a shielded twisted pair data cable, is described in the specification of the interference-immune RS 485 interface standard. To allow correct bus termination, each station must connect the signals DGND and VP (5 V) to pins 5 and 6 of the connector, respectively. The 5 V supply for the terminating resistors (VP) should have a minimum current rating of 10 mA (the current load can increase to 12 mA if a NULL signal is sent through the bus).The current rating should be increased to app. 90 mA if you need to be able to supply other types of devices on the bus such as bus terminals and optical fiber cable drivers.
Due to the capacitive load of the station and the resulting cable reflections, bus connectors should be provided with built-in series inductors as shown below. Due to the built-in series inductors in the bus connectors, all bus connectors in the network should be attached to fieldbus devices to ensure that the necessary capacitive load is provided by the device input capacitance.

2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4
Cable laying guidelines
Laying of copper cable
Data transfer in PROFIBUS systems is based on an interference-immune symmetrical bus system to the RS 485 specification using shielded twisted pair cable. With correct system installation, small external sources of interference are led to ground through the cable shield without causing interference in the data lines. Interference of this type can largely be avoided with appropriate EMC measures such as EMCcompliant system installation, EMC-compliant cable laying and measures that avoid large ground potential differences.
Electromagnetic interference from sources such as switching processes, rectifiers and circuit breakers can cause equipment faults to occur. In addition, overvoltage and lightning strikes can destroy electronic components in fieldbus devices. Correct operation of the plant can then no longer be guaranteed.
Particularly for equipment containing frequency inverters (variable speed drives), the manufacturer’s regulations for EMC compliance must be observed for the following components:
Filters, Chokes, and Shielding.
2500C-RBC-PRF Installation and Operation Guide V1.4 33
In addition, electronic starters should be used if fluorescent lamps are installed within control cabinets.
The following cable laying instructions apply to shielded twisted pair cables. The cable shield is used to improve the immunity to electromagnetic interference. PROFIBUS cables should be shielded with a combination of both conductive braid and conductive foil. In the following, "shield" refers to both types of shields (braid and foil). A foil shield should not be used on its own, because it is very thin and can easily be damaged. The cable shield must be connected to the functional ground at both ends of the cable by making a large-area connection to a grounded conductive surface. When laying the bus cables, particular care should be taken to ensure that the cable shield (braid shield and foil shield, if available) is connected to the shield grounding clamp over a large area. The two PROFIBUS data lines are designated A and B. There are no regulations on which cable core color should be connected to which of the two data terminals on each fieldbus device; the sole requirement is to ensure that the same core color is connected to the same terminal (A or B) for all stations throughout the entire system (across all stations and bus segments). If the data transfer cable has data wires with red and green insulation, then the following assignment should be used:
Data cable wire A - green
Data cable wire B – red
This rule applies to both the incoming and the outgoing data lines.
Laying cables within control cabinets
If a repeater or fieldbus device is installed within a control cabinet, the cable shield of the incoming bus cable should be electrically connected to a grounding rail as close as possible to the cable leadthrough using a shield grounding clamp or similar (see Figure 3-1). The cable shield should continue within the cabinet to the fieldbus device and be connected there in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The following installation guidelines should be observed. Ensure that the case of the device and also the control cabinet in which the fieldbus device is mounted have the same ground potential by providing a large-area metallic contact to ground (use e.g. galvanized steel to ensure a good connection). Grounding rails should not be attached to painted surfaces. If the above measures are observed, electromagnetic interference is diverted through the cable’s shield.

Laying cables outside of control cabinets
All cable ducts should be constructed of electrically conducting material and connected to functional ground at regular intervals. Bus cables should not be subject to mechanical loads which exceed the manufacturer’s specifications. If this cannot be avoided, additional protective measures should be taken, e.g. by laying the cables in a steel pipe or rugged metal duct. The pipe or duct should then be grounded at regular intervals and protected against corrosion.
