1.The MM300 can accept an external voltage level up to 24VDC on its V- and V+ terminals.
Note that specifically for termination, the voltage must be reduced to 5V; refer to the
Profibus Termination section below.
The Modbus status (MS) and network status (NS) LEDs indicate the status of the Fieldbus
interface.

When used for Profibus, the Fieldbus port has the following characteristics.
Baud rate: 9600, 19200, 31250, 45450, 93750, 187500, 500000, and 1.5M bps (auto-
detect) *
Address: 1 to 126
Vendor ID: 4D20 (hex)
Data table size: inputs = 174 bytes, outputs = 2 bytes
To be actioned, output bit must be 1 for a minimum time of 100 ms.
* Profibus communications will operate only in 1.5Mbps or auto-detect with the present
implementation. Auto-detect includes baud rates 19.2 kbps, 187.5 kbps, 500 kbps, and 1.5
Mbps.
The Profibus DP Master must read the GSE (Device Master Data) file of the MM300 for the
purposes of configuration and parameterization. The GSE file for the MM300 is named
GEMU4D20.gse.
The Profibus port has two modes of powering the electronics: internal or external. In
internal mode, a local 5 V is used, so no external voltage is required (pin 1 and pin 5 of the
connector). In external mode, the user must supply an external bus voltage on pin1 and pin
5 of the connector. Profibus is shipped from the factory configured for internal mode. Use
the figures below to configure the the comms board power supply.

we have a problem with device MM300. it says that the device is invalid through the software and does not read the device. the communication is through RS 485. is it possible to give us an advice or send us some reccomendations or instructions?

For a GE MM300 device that is not recognized by software and communicates via RS485, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure correct RS485 wiring:
- Use two-wire RS485 in a daisy chain configuration.
- Install a 120 Ohm resistor in series with a 1 nF ceramic capacitor at each end of the link.
- Use shielded wire and ground the shield at only one location.

2. Check device addressing and termination:
- Confirm proper device address and ensure no address conflicts.
- Verify that termination networks are correctly installed at both ends.

3. Confirm half-duplex communication:
- Ensure that the system supports half-duplex communication and not sending and receiving data simultaneously.

4. If using USB for setup (e.g., USB-to-RS485 converter) and the device is not recognized:
- Repeat the connection procedure 2–3 times.
- If still not recognized, uninstall the USB driver from Device Manager under modems.
- Disconnect the USB cable, wait at least 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- When prompted by the Hardware Wizard, select "No, not this time," then "Install the software automatically," and press "Continue Anyway."
- Finish the installation and check if the USB device appears in the setup software.

These steps help ensure proper hardware connection and correct software recognition of the MM300 device.
