Synopsis

With its wide variety of connectable field devices, the EN compliant PROFIBUS-DP has advanced into a worldwide accepted and recognized standard as a fieldbus system in the area of distributed I/O. In addition to providing basic knowledge on the topic of PROFIBUS, the book concentrates on the configuration of PROFIBUS-DP using STEP 7, discusses the various methods of data communication with user programs, and gives valuable tips on commissioning and trouble-shooting. A series of practical examples based on SIMATIC programmable controllers helps users put theory into practice.
The 2nd edition describes all functions and applications of PROFIBUS-DP based on version 5 of STEP 7. This includes the "direct" data communication between PROFIBUS-DP slaves (i.e., cross communication) and the equidistant DP bus cycle, both of which are adjustable since version 5. The reader also learns about the factors which determine data transmission times and reaction times. The book?s practice-oriented approach makes it especially valuable to PROFIBUS planners, design engineers and programmers. At the same time, students and teachers may find its fundamental, detailed and comprehensive contents a valuable reference text.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Thanks to its broad range of connectable field devices, PROFIBUS DP has (in distributed I/O) acquired the status of an internationally acknowledged standard fieldbus system. In addition to imparting a basic knowledge of PROFIBUS, the book concentrates on configuring PROFIBUS DP with STEP 7, explains various methods of data interchange with user programs and provides useful advice on commissioning and troubleshooting.

With its practical orientation the book is ideal for PROFIBUS planners, configuration experts and programmers. Its comprehensive description of the fundamentals involved also makes it interesting for students and docents alike.

For this second edition, the chapter on user program interfaces has been enlarged and the overall content revised in line with the expansions that have taken place in DPV1. The new functions and applications of PROFIBUS DP in SIMATIC S7 on the basis of STEP 7 Version 5.1 SP3 are described, along with setting of an equidistant DP bus cycle and the new signals “Status Alarm”, “Update Alarm” and “Manufacturer-Specific Alarm”.
