Description

Details

PROFIBUS DP is a high speed multipurpose bus protocol (up to 12Mbit/s) for interconnecting field devices, like remote I/O, drives, low voltage electrical equipment, and controllers. PROFIBUS DP can be connected to the AC 800M via the CI854B communication interface. The CI854B includes two PROFIBUS ports to realize line redundancy and it also supports PROFIBUS master redundancy.

Master redundancy is supported in PROFIBUS-DP communication by using two CI854B communication interface modules. The master redundancy can be combined with CPU redundancy and CEXbus redundancy (BC810). The modules are mounted on a DIN rail and interface directly with the S800 I/O system, and other I/O systems as well, including all PROFIBUS DP/DP-V1 and FOUNDATION Fieldbus proficient systems.

The PROFIBUS DP must be terminated at the two outermost nodes. This is usually done by using connectors with built-in termination. To guarantee a correct working termination the connector has to be plugged and power supplied.

Package including: a CI854BK01 Communication Interface and a TP854 Baseplate.

(Only compatible with System 800xA 6.0.3.2, Compact Control Builder 6.0.0-2 and onwards. Please see Product Update for more information.)

Features and benefits

• Used for connecting remote I/O and fieldbus instruments via PROFIBUS DP
• Possible to connect PROFIBUS PA to the CI854B via the PROFIBUS linking device LD 800P
• The CI854B can be set redundant
