4.4 PROFIBUS DP interfaces
PROFIBUS DP interfaces (X8, X9)
The SIMOTION C provides two interfaces for connection to the PROFIBUS DP. Baud rates
up to 12 Mbits/s are possible. Both interfaces can be operated isochronously.
If both interfaces (X8, X9) are to be operated isochronously, then they must both be configured
with the same DP cycle clock.
Alternatively, the X9 interface can be used as an MPI interface with a transmission rate up to
12 Mbits/s.
Connectable devices
The following devices can be connected to the PROFIBUS DP interfaces:
● PG/PC
● SIMATIC HMI devices
● SIMATIC S7 controllers with PROFIBUS DP interface
● Distributed I/O (e.g. SIMATIC ET 200M)
The digital inputs/digital outputs are updated in the position control cycle clock.
● SIMOTION controller
