SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS VFC 200 1.1 Scope of the document These instructions are supplementary to the standard product documentation of the signal converter. The details depicted therein, in particular the safety information are valid and should be adhered to. The present supplementary instructions provide additional information for the devices when being operated and connected to PROFIBUS.

PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.2 System configuration of PROFIBUS PA network The following diagram shows a typical instrumentation with PROFIBUS PA devices with MBP interface in hazardous and non-hazardous locations, including connections of conventional devices (e.g. with 4...20 mA signals) in a PROFIBUS network.
PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.3 Electrical connection for PA signal converter INFORMATION! The wiring between the device and the PROFIBUS PA bus is independant of polarity. The signal converter PROFIBUS PA with MBP (Manchester Coded Bus Powered) interface will operate without an additional power supply connected.
PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.4 Technical data Hardware Type PROFIBUS MBP interface according to IEC 61158-2 with 31.25 kbits/s; voltage mode [MBP = Manchester Coded Bus Powered] Connection Independent of polarity at electrical connection Base current 16 mA Yes, separate fault disconnection electronics provided (FDE = Fault Disconnection Electronics) 6 mA (fault current = max.
PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.5 PROFIBUS PA Profile implementation The PROFIBUS PA Profile 3.02 defines standardised parameters and functions for PROFIBUS devices used for process control. It describes a PROFIBUS device as a function block application, i.e. parameters and functions are grouped into different blocks. In the Vortex PROFIBUS device...
PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.7 Ident. number selector Within a PROFIBUS network the type of a PROFIBUS slave is identified by its Ident. Number which is unique for this slave type. The PROFIBUS PA device supports two different Ident. numbers. Therefore it can be installed for different use cases. When the Ident. number is changed the behaviour of the device concerning the cyclic data transfer is changed;...

PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 INFORMATION! During network configuration the user has to define which function block outputs of the signal converter should be transferred cyclically to the master. This is performed by a bus configuration tool (e.g. "HW- Config" for PC S7 from Siemens). This tool offers specific functions as follows: 1.
PROFIBUS PA VFC 200 2.8 Summary The following table shows a summary of the supported combinations of the PROFIBUS device with MBP Physical Interface and PA Profile 3.02: Ident. Number Selector Ident. GSD File Status Number Automatic adaptation mode 4541 KR014541.GSD...
COMMISSIONING / OPERATION VFC 200 3.1 Configuration of cyclic data transfer During network configuration the user has to select which function block input/output data shall be transferred between the PROFIBUS master and the PROFIBUS slave. Network configuration will be done using one of the GSD files described before. During configuration a functional...

COMMISSIONING / OPERATION VFC 200 The coding of the status value depends on the active status and diagnosis mode. It is described in the following tables. Condensed Status Condensed Status Condensed Status Condensed Status The "Condensed Status" codes have been defined to allow easier decoding of the information provided by the PROFIBUS devices.
