Chapter 1: Introduction This manual will explain how to add a Sierra flow meter or controller equipped with Profibus DP to your network. This interface allows access to all relevant data available in the flow meter. Set Up Quick Step Plan To successfully add the flow meter to a Profibus DP network you need the following: ...
Chapter 2: Field Bus Installation ® All electrical connections for your SmartTrak Instrument and Profibus DP are made on the left (inlet) side: Power “On” Green Light CAT 5 Profibus DP Connector Connector (Pilot Module) 15-Pin D Connector Note: The CAT 5 connector is not an Ethernet connector Fieldbus Connector The Profibus DP network is connected to the Profibus DP using an approved Profi-DP DB9 connector.
Cable Profibus cables are shielded twisted-pair copper cables which differ from each other in the type of wire (fixed/flexible) and/or sheath. The two inner cores of a Profibus cable have green and red insulation. The specifications in this chapter are primarily intended to provide a general introduction and describe the cable properties to be considered (see also IEC 61784-5-3).
Status LED Status Description Flashing green/red Initializing Steady green Device operational Flashing red Recoverable hardware failure Hardware failure – attention required Steady red Network LED Status Description Not online – waiting for configuration Steady green Data exchange Flashing red Connection lost Slave Address The Profibus DP slave address of the interface can be set.
The switch becomes active when the slider is moved upwards. Here some examples of some addresses (1 = on/up, 0 = off/down): Address Dip Switch # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1|0|0|0|0|0|0|0 0|1|1|1|0|0|0|0 0|0|1|1|1|1|0|0 1|0|1|1|1|1|1|0 Note: An address set with the dip switch has the highest priority and the slave address will use this address when powering up! Server Assigned Address It is possible to change the address of the unit through the server.
The GSD-file is a text-file containing: Identification info: o Model name: “SmartTrak 100S - Profibus” o Vendor name: “Sierra Instruments Inc.” o Identification number: 0x012E o Bitmap device: “100S_dev” o Bitmap diagnostics: “100S_dia” o Bitmap SF: “100S_spf” (Bitmap files are used in configuration software to indicate instrument status) ...

Valve Power (R): Data type: 16 bit integer Description: Value representing the power injected into the value (when using a controller). The value will range between 0 and 3200 (4095 when purging the valve). Flow Unit (R): Data type: 16 bit integer Description: The value indicates the selected engineering flow unit on the instrument.

CAUTION! Select digital as source when the set point needs to be controlled through the network. The other setting are for analog inputs on the DB15 connector Gas Span (R/W): Data type: 32 bit floating point (LSB – MSB) Description: The gas span value allows you to linearly adjust the calibration of each available gas, factory value is 1 and can range between 0.5 and 2.0.
Chapter 4: Sycon software Sycon is a tool for the configuration of a Fieldbus network using a Hilscher CIF50-PB master. You may be using a different configuration software and hardware Master, however, you will need to accomplish the same functions. No specific slave DTMs of the Profibus DP are available. Online diagnostic indicators and auto-scan function for the reading of network participants assist in the commissioning of the network.
Locate the desired GSD file and load it. You will also be prompted to “import the corresponding bitmap files”, click Yes. Load all 3 bitmap files. The GSD data is added to the Sycon library but it isn’t available yet. Quit the program and restart it to refresh the catalog. Configure A Slave Add master here Create A New Document And Insert A Master:...
Leave the station address set to zero. Press the “Add” button and then the “OK” button. A window pops up showing the driver linked to the selected master. Press “Yes” to use the hardware. Note: The board ID number changes when extra PCI cards are added to the PC. Older configurations must be checked before trying to run them.
1. File menu: Insert -> Slave. Place it below the master: Add slave here 2. Set the slave filter to “Sierra Instruments Inc.” Select the desired GSD file, press the “Add” button, set the slave address and description to match the slave and press the “OK” button.
Note: If no slave device appears in the window then the GSD file hasn’t been copied into the Sycon catalog. 3. Double click on the added slave in the main window. The slave configuration window appears: 4. Select the desired modules by double clicking on the module name. Press the “OK” button. Download Configuration The configuration needs to be downloaded to the master (Online ->...

A pop-up may appear warning you that the communication may stop: Press “Yes” to continue. The data is downloaded to the master: When done save the new configuration to disk (File -> save as). Put the .pb file where your server can get it later.
Check The Configuration To make sure things are working, start the debug mode: If everything is working correctly then the line between the master and the slave will be green and the bit map shows a green check: Double click on the slave to see the diagnostic status:...
Page 22
Press the “OK” button and leave the debug mode (Online -> Stop Debug Mode). Should the line be red (error) then double click the slave to find out what the problem is: The diagnostic window gives an indication of the problem:...
In this case the slave is deactivated. Check the address of “Slave1” to see if it matches with the physical address of the hardware slave. Correct any error. If the slave address in the configuration is incorrect, adjust it and download the configuration again.

You can review the summary of the new channel you just created. 8. You may now add your first slave device. Click on “Click to add a device”...
Page 27
9. Give your new device a name. 10. Set the device ID. ID# 0 was already used for the master, so chose #1.

11. The next 2 screens will be fine as default, click next. Choose the device type. Click next. 12. Review the new device summary, click next. 13. Click Finish, you have now created a new device for your network. 14. You will now need create a Tag to access each piece of Cyclic data, as specified in chapter 3.2.
