This manual provides information for Installing and operating the OMRON GRT1-PRT PROFIBUS Communication Unit. Be sure to read this manual before attempting to use the Unit and keep this manual close at hand for refer- ence during operation. !WARNING...
Operating Environment Precautions • The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter- measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
• When adding a new device to the network, make sure that the baud rate is the same as other stations. • When adding a new SmartSlice I/O Unit to the Communication Unit, make sure that the GRT1-PRT PROFIBUS Communication Unit is powered down, to prevent unexpected results when starting up the new station.
Conformance to EC Directives • Take appropriate measures to prevent foreign objects from entering the unit when mounting or wiring it. Failure to do so, may result in unit dam- age, electric shock or fire. • Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to terminals.
PROFIBUS units should be installed as follows, for the complete configuration to meet the EC directives: 1,2,3... 1. The units are designed for installation inside control panels. All units must be installed within control panels. 2. Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies used for the communication power supply, internal circuit power supply, and the I/O power supplies.
SmartSlice I/O configurations can be very compact, consisting of only a few I/O points, but they can also be extended, to up to 64 I/O slices. The slice con- figuration can also be subdivided over two or more blocks using local exten- sion units and extension cables, as shown in the figure above.

Wiring the GRT1-PRT Section 2-3 2-3-3 Connecting the Turnback Units When a SmartSlice I/O System is divided into blocks to expand the system, connect a GRT1-TBR Right Turnback Unit to the GRT1-TBL Left Turnback Unit with a GCN2-100 Turnback Cable. Note Power is not supplied through the GCN2-100 Turnback Cable.
The total cable length of the bus depends on the cable and the selected baud rate. Also, RS-485 specifies a maximum of up to 32 devices - master and slave devices - per line segment.
Page 44
0.64 mm Core cross section 0.34 mm Note The PROFIBUS standard EN 50170 also specifies a Type B cable with differ- ent cable characteristics. Use of Type B cable is no longer recommended. Maximum PROFIBUS The transmission speed defines the maximum advised cable distance or Cable Length cable segment in metres before the use of a repeater is recommended.
In order to minimize cable reflections and ensure a defined signal level on the data lines, the data transfer cable must be terminated at both ends with a ter- minating resistor combination. The bus termination diagram is shown on the left.
A standard 9-pin sub-D plug can only be used if the PROFIBUS DP Master Unit is not at the start or the end of a bus segment, or on a stub line at a baud rate of 500 kbit/s or less.
I/O configuration and setting the parameters of both the GRT1-PRT as well as individual SmartSlice I/O Units. Note To fully utilize the features of the GRT1-PRT and the SmartSlice I/O system, a PROFIBUS DP-V1 Class 2 capable Master Unit and DTM are required. The OMRON CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master units provide this functionality as of ver- sion 3.0.

3-1-3 SmartSlice I/O Allocation to the GRT1-PRT Unit The SmartSlice I/O Units’ I/O data is mapped in the I/O memory of the GRT1- PRT, from which it is transferred to the PROFIBUS Master unit. This allocation is done automatically and determined by the SmartSlice I/O Unit’s type. The figure below shows this mapping.

Unit Functions Section 3-2 Comparison with the When DIP switch pin 1 (REGS) is ON and an I/O configuration table has been Registered Table registered in the Communication Unit, the actual I/O configuration is automat- ically compared to the registered table when the power is turned ON. A verifi- cation error will occur if a registered I/O Unit cannot join I/O communication or an unregistered I/O Unit is detected.
Backup Procedure 1,2,3... 1. Verify that the power is ON, DIP switch 1 (REGS) is ON, and all of the SmartSlice I/O Units are participating in I/O communication. 2. Turn DIP switch 4 (BACK) ON, then OFF, and then ON again within 3 s to start the back up.
Page 58
1. Turn OFF the SmartSlice I/O System’s power supply and the I/O power supply. 2. Release the locks on the front of the SmartSlice I/O Unit that must be re- placed and remove the terminal block. The wiring can remain connected.
4. Only replace one I/O Unit at a time. 5. Always replace the I/O Unit with the same model of I/O Unit. If a Unit is re- placed with a different model, there may be unexpected outputs and the re- store operation may not be completed properly.
The PROFIBUS Communication Unit can record the 64 most recent internal SmartSlice Communication Unit errors in the Unit’s error history. When more than 64 errors occur, the oldest entry is deleted to make space for the newest error entry. The communication error history can be read from the GRT1-PRT DTM or via messaging services.

In general, the PROFIBUS communication protocol is based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) refer- ence model in accordance with the international standard ISO-7498 (see the following illustration). The model defines 7 layers of communication functions, three of which - layers 1, 2, and 7 - are used in PROFIBUS. DP-Profiles...
Page 91
Appendix A PROFIBUS Technology PROFIBUS DP uses layers 1 and 2, and the user interface. Layers 3 to 7 are not defined for PROFIBUS DP. The User Interface Layer defines the interface functions for specific application areas, i.e. the PROFIBUS DP basic functions and communication profiles.

CLEAR state. Slave devices use a watchdog to detect failures of the master or the bus. If no data exchange with the master occurs within the set watchdog time interval, the slave automatically switches its outputs to the fail-safe mode.
Page 94
When comparing the two configuration technologies, a GSD file only provides information on the device char- acteristics and configuration options. It has no GUI of its own, nor can it connect to the device itself. A GSD file always requires a separate configurator program to interpret the data. In the FDT/DTM concept all these device related functions are included in the DTM.
Description Diag.Station_Non_Existent This bit is set by the Master Unit if the Unit does not respond to any of the request messages sent by the master. If this bit is set the diagnostic bits contains the state of the last diagnostic message or the initial value. The slave device sets this bit to zero in case of a correct response.
Page 97
Master Unit receives more diagnostic information than it can enter in its diag- nostic buffer. Slave Diagnostics Byte 4: Master PROFIBUS Address This byte contains the PROFIBUS address of the Master Unit, which parameterized the slave. If the slave is not parameterized correctly, the byte contains FF (Hex) or 255 (Decimal).
Page 98
Slave Diagnostics Bytes 5 to 6: Ident Number Slave Diagnostics Bytes 5 and 6 contain the PROFIBUS Ident Number of the slave device. The Ident number uniquely identifies the type of device. For the GRT1-PRT PROFIBUS DPV1 slave the Ident number is 098F (Hex).
