For parameterisation of the actuator with the communication software PSCS or handheld unit PSC, the position of a switch on the main board of the actuator PS-AMS1x has to be changed, see chapter 2.3. After that, communication with PC is possible via the date cable. After parameterisation, the switch has to be placed to position “Fieldbus”...
Figure 2 Terminal block on the main board of an actuator for Profibus DP 2.1.1. Termination Termination of the bus is possible with the termination switch next to the terminal block, see picture 2. Both switches have to be put to the same position mandatorily. 2.1.2.
2.3. Slide switch for selecting the communication interface On the main board inside the actuator there is a slide switch for selecting the interface, see picture 3. For normal operation, i.e. when the actuator is controlled via the fieldbus, put the switch to lower position (red arrow).
Adjustment of addresses 0 to 125 is possible as per the table below. Profibus- Profibus- Profibus- S302 S301 S302 S301 S302 S301 address address address 4. Process Image See table „Process Image AMS Profibus-DP“ in the annex 4.1. Process Image OUTPUT The process image OUTPUT shows the details how control of the actuator (as slave) is done.
4.1.3. Byte 3 - Process Sensor High-Byte Bit 7 of Byte 3 (MSB) defines the input to be in percent (MSB = 0) or in tenth of percent (MSB = 1). Caution: When using an analogue process sensor, Byte 3 and Byte 4 have to be set to „0xFF“! 4.1.4.

5. Diagnosis In the case of errors, the fieldbus interface of this actuator provides specific diagnosis data. These diagnosis data refer to the fieldbus interface only. Error Nr. Description of Error [dec] Reserved Error at initialising RS485/232 interface Error at E²PROM Stack error Hardware error of Fieldbus-ASIC Configuration error of gateway (unknown protocol)
Note: The current layout does not allow writing parameters to the actuator via the fieldbus. 9. Simulation of Profibus-environment PS Automation provides a simulation software PSAMS1xProfibusSim_V2_0 for the Profibus-DP-master simulator BW1131 made by Bihl & Widemann. 1.) Start PSAMS1xProfibusSim_V2_0.exe on the PC 2.) Adjust communication port and Profibus address...
