General information about PROFIBUS DP communication

Definition of PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS DP is an international, open field bus standard specified in the European field bus
Standard EN 50170 Part 2. PROFIBUS DP is optimized for high-speed, time-sensitive data
transfer at field level.
Components communicating on PROFIBUS DP are classified as master and slave
components.
● Master (active bus node)
● Slaves (passive bus nodes)
Note
If a SIMOTION D410 DP is operated as a passive PROFIBUS I-slave, the display, measuring
functions and controller optimization engineering functions will be very slow. If possible, use
the "active I-slave" setting for local commissioning (which does mean that an equidistance is
no longer possible) and for complete commissioning, switch to "passive I-slave".
Additional references
You will find additional information about PROFIBUS DP in the
System Manual.
SIMOTION D410
Commissioning Manual, 04/2014
Components representing a bus master determine the data traffic on the bus and are
therefore also referred to as active bus nodes.
These devices may only receive, acknowledge and return messages to the master if
requested by the master.
Examples: SINAMICS drives, I/O modules
