SST-PB3-REM Purpose of this Guide This manual is a user's guide for the SST-PB3-REM Profibus Remote Module. Use this guide if you are responsible for installing, programming or troubleshooting control systems that use Allen-Bradley Logix™ processors with SST-PB3-REM. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of PLCs and are familiar with Profibus modules and the Profibus network.
User Reference Guide SST-PB3-REM 1.1 Key Features The SST-PB3-REM is a linking device designed to provide Profibus DP-V0 and DP-V1 Master / Slave capability to Rockwell Automation Logix™ systems via EtherNet/IP. Figure 1.1-1: SST™ PB3 Remote Module Typical Application Key features: •...
Class-2: MSAC2_Initiate, MSAC2_Read, MSAC2_Write, MSAC2_Abort 1.2 How It Works SST-PB3-REM combines the functionality of an EtherNet/IP Adapter with that of a Profibus Master or/and Slave which enables a controller acting as an EtherNet/IP Scanner to transmit and receive data on the Profibus network.
, Slave Functionality for more details. 1.3 EtherNet/IP Assemblies Overview Internal to the SST-PB3-REM, Profibus data is mapped to EtherNet/IP I/O assemblies. When the module is configured as a Profibus Master, data mapping is automatically handled by the SST™ Profibus Configuration Tool at the time when the configuration is created. Based on the Profibus configuration, the user must configure at least one or up to five Exclusive Owner connections as seen in Table 2.3-1: Exclusive Owner Connections.
Page 17
(**): By default this value should be left at 0. If set to 8, configuration data must match configuration data from the first Exclusive Owner connection. Listen-only connection refers to a connection that is made to an SST-PB3-REM module that is already configured with an Exclusive Owner connection from the main controller. A Listen-only connection allows inputs on an SST-PB3-REM module to be monitored from another controller.
This file may be later imported into an Excel spreadsheet. 1.5 Explicit Messaging Overview SST-PB3-REM supports two types of explicit messages: for retrieving I/O data and general messaging such as DP-V1, diagnostics data etc. Reading and writing I/O data may be useful when the originator does not have implicit messaging capabilities.

Connection connected to the SST-PB3-REM chassis. The SST-PB3-REM module must be powered by an external 24VDC industrial power supply unit which must be compliant with the characteristics in section 4.10, Electrical Characteristics. The power supply must be local: cable length < 30 m.
4.1 Introduction The SST™ Profibus Configuration Tool is the software application used for configuring the Profibus DP-V0 Master functionality of SST-PB3-REM. In addition to configuration, several other features such as retrieving diagnostics information, downloading firmware, etc. will be discussed later in this chapter.

This section describes how to configure the EtherNet/IP communication path between the application and SST-PB3-REM. As a requirement, the PC running the configuration tool must have one Ethernet adapter on the same physical network and subnet with SST-PB3-REM, unless the module is accessed via CIP path.
Page 60
User Reference Guide SST-PB3-REM Click on List Identity to display all SST-PB3-REM modules present on the network, with their corresponding IP and MAC addresses. To select a module, double click on it, the Browse For Devices window will automatically close and the IP address of the selected module will be set in the Communication Path page.

Note that this is only a recommendation, choosing the right RPI will ultimately depend on the specific application requirements. 1. If the network baud rate is 12M and Master/Slave mode is enabled on the SST-PB3-REM module, the corresponding checkbox on this page must be checked. The Typical and Minimum Scan Cycles as well as the recommended RPI are increased by 2ms.
SST-PB3-REM User Reference Guide EtherNet/IP scanner and SST-PB3-REM, if the Remote Module detects that this CRC does not match the one calculated on the configuration existing in its flash, the connection is rejected. If the last 4 bytes are left at 0, the I/O CRC check is not performed.

This may be done if the Slave GSD files are not available and the Slave IDs need to be determined in order to find the slave GSD files. The slave GSD filename will contain the Slave ID. For example, for the SST-PB3-REM slave ID is 0x0D10 and the GSD filename is ssti0D10.gse.
The master configuration UDT is a collection of structures (lower level UDTs) corresponding to the Profibus devices present in the configuration. The highest level UDT name is the SST-PB3-REM master name defined in the configuration tool, for example, the default name set by the application for the first master (a configuration may contain multiple masters) is SST_PB3_REM_MASTER.

11. Go to the instruction toolbar and select Add-On. 12. Select CPS_SST_PB3_REM_MASTER from the instruction toolbar. In this example, only 1 Exclusive Owner connection has been defined for the SST-PB3-REM which is why only 2 I/O assembly parameters are displayed for this AOI. The number of I/O assembly parameters will equal the number of Exclusive Owner connections multiplied by two.
There are two configuration assembly instances supported by SST-PB3-REM: 131 (size 0 or 8 bytes) when the module operates in Master or Master/Slave mode and 132 (size 6 bytes) when the module operates in Slave only mode.
6.2 Input Only In addition to Exclusive Owner connections, the SST-PB3-REM also supports an Input-only connection for retrieving status information (assembly instance 161). In RSLogix5000 this connection is automatically opened, along with the Exclusive Owner connection, when the user selects Data…...

This register counts double token errors. These errors may occur when more than one node thinks it has the token or there are wiring errors, duplicate nodes, and so on. The SST-PB3-REM withdraws to the “not hold token” state (decides it doesn't have the token) and waits until it gets the token passed to it again.
Page 178
PB3-REM is going online, the module increments the errStn counter and stays offline. The ErrPasTok Counter This register increments when the SST-PB3-REM is unable to pass the token. This is usually caused by bad wiring (shorted) or other hardware problems. The module tries to pass the token, fails to hear its own token pass message, and puts itself offline.
