Profibus-Dp - IAI RoboNet Operation Manual

(3) PROFIBUS-DP

For details on PROFIBUS-DP, refer to the operation manual of the master (PLC) and also visit the website of the Japanese
Profibus Organization. The following explains the points to note regarding network wiring. A network connection example
is shown below
Master
Terminal resistor
[1] A device connected to a network and to which an address is assigned is called a "Node." A node may be the master or
a slave. Up to 32 nodes can be connected in one segment.
[2] It is recommended that the master be connected to one end of the network. Normally the node address of the master is
2 and each slave has a node address of 3 to 32.
Node address 0 is reserved for a monitoring or diagnostic device, while node address 1 is reserved for a monitoring
device.
[3] A terminal resistor must be installed at both ends of each segment of the network.
[4] For the PROFIBUS cable, use a PROFIBUS-DP cable of type A conforming to the EN 50170 standard. This cable is a
shielded 2-core twisted pair cable.
[5] The network connectors are D-sub, 9-pin connectors conforming to the EN 50170 standard.
As for network bus connectors, screw-type connectors like the one shown below and quick connectors where the
cables are inserted into provided holes are available.

When a connector with terminal resistor is used,
turn on the terminal resistor switch only for the
terminal slave and turn off the switches for all
other slaves.
