Introduction The PROFIBUS OBT (Optical Bus Terminal) is a network component for use in optical PROFIBUS DP fieldbus networks. It allows the attachment of a single device without an integrated optical interface to the optical PROFIBUS DP. The following figure illustrates a typical configuration. DP node without SIMATIC S7-400 ET 200M with...

Introduction Connections The connection between the individual nodes takes the form of an optical bus with two-fiber plastic FO cables (plastic fiber-optic cables are also known as POF, Polymer Optical Fiber) or PCF FO cables (PCF = Polymer Cladded Fiber, corresponds to HCSt fiber-optic cable).

Functional Description The OBT is a repeater with 3 channels. Interfaces The OBT has the following interfaces for attachment to PROFIBUS DP segments: S Channel 1 (CH1) is an electrical RS-485 interface. This is implemented as a 9-pin D SUB female connector. A single PROFIBUS DP node can be connected via this channel or a PC, PG or OP can be connected to the OBT.
Functional Description Automatic Transmission Rate Detection The OBT supports all PROFIBUS transmission rates (12 Mbps , 6 Mbps, 3 Mbps, 1.5 Mbps, 500 Kbps and 187.5 Kbps, 93.75 Kbps, 45.45 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 9.6 Kbps). The transmission rate is detected automatically. No settings are necessary. Supported FO Fiber Types The OBT supports the fiber types listed in the table below: Table 3-1...

Functional Description Operator Controls The OBT itself does not have operator controls. Care must simply be taken that the PROFIBUS connecting cable (not supplied) attached to Channel 1 is terminated at both ends. PROFIBUS Optical Bus Terminal (OBT) C79000-G8976-C122-03...
Network Topology Optical Bus The OBT is operated in conjunction with other SIMATIC devices, for example the IM 153-2 FO or IM 467 FO on the optical PROFIBUS DP in the form of an optical bus. Individual PROFIBUS DP nodes with an RS-485 interface are connected to channel 1 of the OBT via a maximum 100 m long PROFIBUS cable with bus connectors fitted at both ends.
Network Topology Using Long Fiber Optic Sections The maximum permitted length of PCF FO cables with the OBT is 300 m. If longer distances are required with fiber-optic cables, then other fiber-optic types such as graded glass fibers or monomode fibers are necessary and these can be used in a combination of OBT with OLM (Optical Link Module).
Network Topology Attaching RS-485 Segments The OBT allows the attachment of a PROFIBUS-RS 485-segment. DP node without ET 200M without SIMATIC S7-400 ET 200M without FO interface FO interface with IM 467 FO interface À À À À À À À...

Installation and Startup Note Use the PROFIBUS OBT only as described in this manual. Note Pay particular attention to all warnings and safety-related instructions. Note The PROFIBUS OBT must only be operated with a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) complying with IEC 950/ EN 60 950/ VDE 0805 with a maximum of +32 V (typically +24 V).
Installation and Startup Note The RS-485 channel CH1 of the PROFIBUS OBT is electrically isolated from the 24V input. This isolation is required for correct functioning and is not a safety measure. Note Make sure that the PROFIBUS OBT is adequately grounded by connecting the rail or mounting plate to local ground with low resistance and low inductance.
Installation and Startup Installation Installing the PROFIBUS OBT PROFIBUS OBT can be installed either on a 35 mm standard rail with a height of 15 mm in compliance with DIN EN 50 022 - 35 x 15 or directly on a level surface. S Select the installation location so that the climatic limit values listed in the technical specifications can be adhered to.

Installation and Startup Installation on a Mounting Plate PROFIBUS OBTs have two holes drilled in them. This allows them to be installed on any flat surface, for example on the mounting plate of a cubicle. S Drill two holes in the mounting plate as shown in the drill template in Figure 5-2. S Secure the modules with machine screws (for example M3 x 75 and M3 x 55).

Installation and Startup Connecting the Optical Cables Figure 5-4 View of the Module from Below with the Optical Channels CH2 and CH3 A = CH2, optical receiver B = CH2, optical sender C = CH3, optical receiver D = CH3, optical sender S Connect the individual PROFIBUS OBTs using a duplex FO cable, fitted with two pairs of simplex connectors.

Installation and Startup Note If the fiber protrudes beyond the surface of the connector, the connector must not be inserted into the socket otherwise the optical components can be permanently damaged. Connecting the Electrical RS - 485 Cable Channel CH1 is used to connect a single PROFIBUS DP DTE. CH1 is designed as an electrical RS 485 interface with a 9-pin sub D female connector.
