Binary input BI2
This binary input BI2 is optional. It is an ac-
tive input which is powered by the positioner
to connect a floating contact. The switching
state of the floating contact can be indicated
over the PROFIBUS-PA network.

3.3 Communication

The positioner is controlled completely by
digital signal transmission according to
PROFIBUS-PA profile class B according to
DIN EN 50170 and DIN 19245-4.
Data are transmitted over the bus using digi-
tal, bit-synchronous Manchester coding at a
Baud rate of 31.25 kbit/s over twisted-pair
wires according to IEC 61158-2.
Usually, the positioner settings are made on
a computer. One or more positioners can be
connected over a segment coupler to the
PROFIBUS segment of the computer.
Configuration and operation of the posi-
tioner over PROFIBUS-PA are described in
the Configuration Manual
3.4 Configuration using the
TROVIS-VIEW software
The positioner can be configured with
SAMSON's TROVIS-VIEW Software.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial
interface to allow the RS-232 or USB port of
a computer to be connected to it using an
adapter cable.

Design and principle of operation
The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the user
to easily configure the positioner as well as
view process parameters online.
Note
TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user inter-
face that allows users to configure and pa-
rameterize various SAMSON devices using
device-specific database modules. The de-
vice module 3730-4 can be downloaded
free of charge from our website at
u www.samson.de > SERVICE & SUPPORT
> Downloads > TROVIS-VIEW.
Further information on TROVIS-VIEW (e.g.
system requirements) is available on our
website and in the Data Sheet u T 6661.
