Installation The Profibus DP Interface hardware consists of a dual-board option card. Profibus-specific functions are p r o v i d e d b y a P r o fi b u s m o d u l e , w h i c h i s factory-installed onto a bus adapter card.
9. Ensure no excess cable is left inside the enclosure and tighten cord grips. Signal Description 10. Reconnect power to the indicator. The indicator automatically recognizes all +5V, isolated from RS-485 side installed option cards when the unit is Ground, isolated from RS-485 side p ow e r e d o n .
LED Status Indicators A single bi-color LED on the surface of the Profibus m o d u l e p r ov i d e s d i a g n o s t i c i n f o r m a t i o n f o r An LED array on the Profibus module provides status debugging the module itself.
Commands Commands are used by the Profibus master device to Decimal Command send and receive data from the Profibus Interface as 0x00C Enter Tare integer or floating-point data. The master sends eight bytes in the output format (used to write commands to 0x00D Acquire Tare the indicator) and reads eight bytes in the input format...
Status Data Decimal Command Indicator status data is returned in the second word 0x128 Read Peak (float) (see Table 3-4). Batch commands return batch status in place of the low byte (see Table 3-5). Setpoint 0x130 Set Setpoint Value (float) commands return batch status in the low byte of the 0x131 Set Setpoint Hysteresis (float)
Command Descriptions Display Tare Command: 11, 0x00B NOTE: For all commands that require a scale number, a Parameter: Scale number value of 0 indicates the current scale. Unless otherwise Command 11 causes the tare weight on the specified specified, the indicator returns weight and status data for the specified scale.
Units Key Press (toggle units) Return Piece Count Command: 19, 0x013 Command: 35, 0x023 Parameter: Scale number Parameter: Scale number Command 19 toggles the current format of the Command 35 returns the piece count value for the specified scale to the next units configured for that specified scale.
Batch Start Set Digital Output OFF Command: 96, 0x060 Command: 115, 0x073 Parameter: Scale number Parameter: Slot number Command 96 starts a batch program from the current Value: Bit number step after a stop, pause, or reset. Batch status is Command 115 sets the specified digital output OFF returned with the current weight for the specified (inactive).
Read Net Weight as Float Set Setpoint Value as Float Command: 289, 0x121 Command: 304, 0x130 Parameter: Scale number Parameter: Setpoint number Command 289 returns the net weight value for the Value: Target value specified scale in floating-point format. Command 304 sets the target value for the specified setpoint in floating-point format.
Read Setpoint Bandwidth as Float Command: 322, 0x142 Parameter: Setpoint number Command 322 returns the bandwidth value for the specified setpoint in floating-point format. This command is only valid if the setpoint is enabled and requires a bandwidth value. Read Setpoint Preact as Float Command: 323, 0x143 Parameter: Setpoint number Command 323 returns the preact value for the...
