PROFIBUS system overview

Introduction
PROFIBUS is the successful open fieldbus that can be used
for fast and cost-effective production in a wide area of applications.
Distributed automation structures are the prerequisite for
such flexible manufacturing. Connecting production areas
with local networks secures the information flow necessary
for this.
PROFIBUS is a bus system for process and field communication
in accordance with the international standard IEC 61158/
61784.
Automation devices such as PLCs, PCs, HMI devices, sensors or
actuators can communicate via a standardized bus.
This allows the use of a wide range of PROFIBUS products from
Siemens and other manufacturers for solving automation
tasks. These products can be operated together in a PROFIBUS
network.
PROFIBUS thus offers openness for connecting standard components from other manufacturers.
Part of TIA
Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) stands for an integrated
range of products and systems for automation in all areas
from incoming goods, through the production process to the
dispatch of goods, from the field level, through the production
control level to the connection to the corporate management
level:
An integrated software tool set supports all project phases,
from the selection of hardware, programming and operation, to diagnostics and maintenance.
The tools access a common database.
This saves input costs and ensures project-wide consistency.
Outstanding features
PROFIBUS is a powerful, open, and rugged bus system that
offers trouble-free communication.
The system is fully standardized, which enables simple connection of standardized components from a variety of manufacturers.
Configuration, commissioning, and troubleshooting can be
carried out from any location. This results in user-defined
communication relationships that are very versatile, simple
to implement, and easy to change.

General overview of PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is used to connect field devices, such as distributed

I/O devices or drives, to automation systems such as SIMATIC
S7 and S7mEC, PC-based controllers, WinAC, SIMOTION,
SINUMERIK, or SIMATIC IPCs.
Openness all along the line
PROFIBUS is standardized in accordance with IEC 61158/

61784 and is a powerful, open and rugged fieldbus system
with short response times. PROFIBUS is available in different
forms for various applications.
The IEC 61158/61784 standards provide future protection for

your investment.
PROFIBUS DP
(distributed I/O)
PROFIBUS DP is used for connecting distributed field devices,
e.g. SIMATIC ET 200, or drives with extremely fast response
times. PROFIBUS DP is used when sensors/actuators are distributed at the machine or in the plant (e.g. field level).
The actuators and sensors are connected to the field devices.
The field devices are supplied with output data in accordance
with the master/slave technique and transfer input data to the
controller or industrial PC.
Thanks to the openness of PROFIBUS DP, standard-compliant

components from different manufacturers can also be connected.
Member companies worldwide offer the most diverse products with PROFIBUS DP interface for the field area.
Siemens has a full product range of standard and fail-safe controllers, network components, communication software, and
field devices.
And for field device manufacturers we offer everything to do
with the PROFIBUS DP interface, such as ASICs, training, certification, and much more.

PROFIsafe
permits standard and safety-related communication on one
and the same bus cable. It is an open solution for safety-related communication over standard buses and uses the
PROFIBUS services.
Isochronous mode
The CPU, I/O and user program are synchronized with the
PROFIBUS cycle. The "isochronous mode" function is supported by the CPUs of SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400, SIMOTION,
SINUMERIK and servo drives. The drives are controlled using
the PROFIdrive profile.
PROFIBUS PA
(Process Automation)
PROFIBUS PA extends PROFIBUS DP with intrinsically safe
transmission of data and power (e.g. transducers in the food
processing industry) in accordance with the international
standard IEC 61158-2 (same protocol, different physical properties).
Siemens AG 2011

Application options
Factory automation
It is possible to use PROFIBUS DP in, for example, the food and
beverages industry, to implement production lines with variable speeds or options for controlling the plant during operation.
Many variables have to be flexible in order to allow fault-free
production. Plant availability is becoming increasingly important.
Downtimes caused by repairs are usually more expensive than
the appropriate monitoring of systems for wear or possible
faults.
With the aid of high-performance components in the communication, for example, errors can be located and reported
quickly.
Factory automation
Process automation
Process automation has high performance and reliability requirements and demands simple and safe operation of plants.
PROFIBUS PA uses the intrinsically safe transmission technology specified in the international standard IEC 61158-2. This allows field devices to be integrated into the hazardous zone.
The basis for this is PROFIBUS DP that has been expanded for
intrinsically-safe operation. The acyclic communication services of PROFIBUS DP/PA allow online access to device parameters, that is, the process control systems have direct access to
the actual status of the field device data and to the status and
diagnostics messages.
Using PROFIBUS DP/PA, the field devices become an integral
component of the company-wide automation concept from
open-loop and closed-loop control right up to asset management, including spare parts management and warehouse
management.
Process automation
Building automation
The networking of large buildings or parts of buildings allows
centralized or distributed access to all stations.
Electrical installation systems are found not only in residential
and non-residential buildings but also in every industrial
plant. Most devices and also many building systems such as
lighting, heating, air conditioning, fans, blinds, or access
controls are operated almost without exception with electric
power.
These systems, just like those in industrial automation, must
be regulated, controlled, and monitored.

Electrical PROFIBUS network configuration
Siemens offers a comprehensive range of PROFIBUS network

components for electrical, optical, and wireless transmission
technology.
PROFIBUS is standardized in accordance with IEC 61158/
61784 for universal automation (PROFIBUS FMS and
PROFIBUS DP), and in accordance with IEC 61158-2 for
process automation (PROFIBUS PA).
Siemens AG 2011

Networking options electrical networks
The electrical network uses a shielded, twisted pair cable. The
RS485 interface works with voltage differences. It is therefore
less sensitive to interference than a voltage or current interface.
With PROFIBUS, the stations are connected to the bus via a bus
terminal or a bus connector (max. 32 stations per segment).
The electrical network can be configured as a bus or tree structure. The individual segments are connected via repeaters.
The transmission rate can be set in steps from 9.6 Kbit/s to
12 Mbit/s in accordance with IEC 61158/61784.
The maximum segment length depends on the transmission
rate.
For applications in the intrinsically-safe area the transmission
technology compliant with IEC 61158-2 is used with
PROFIBUS PA. The transmission rate in this case is 31.25 Kbit/s.
Features of the electrical network
Transmission method in accordance with IEC 61158/61784

Network configuration of optical PROFIBUS with OLMs
The optical network uses fiber-optic cables as the transmission

medium. The fiber-optic cable is provided with a coating. The
term "fiber" is often also used for fiber-optic cables (FOC). Optical networks are especially suitable for long ranges. There is
a choice between plastic, PCF or glass fiber-optic cables.

The transmission link is insensitive to electromagnetic influences
It is suitable for long ranges
Galvanic isolation is implemented
You can choose between plastic, PCF or glass fiber-optic
cables
It is tap-proof since no radiation is emitted from the line
It is easy to lay since the cable is light-weight and pre-assembled, and there are no grounding problems
No additional lightning protection concept is required in
the outdoor area
Rugged construction of the fiber-optic cable for industrial
applications both indoors and outdoors
The fiber-optic cables galvanically isolate the modules.

available for this in the form of devices with integral optical interface. Terminal equipment with an RS485 interface can be
connected via an Optical Bus Terminal (OBT). The maximum
distance between two stations is 50 m in the case of plastic fiber-optic cable.
The maximum distance between two OLMs is 15 km. The

transmission rate can be set in steps from 9.6 Kbit/s to

Electrical network
Bus connector
The RS 485 bus connectors for PROFIBUS are used for connecting a PROFIBUS station or a PROFIBUS network component to
the bus cable for PROFIBUS.
There are different versions of the bus connectors in sub D,
RJ45 or M12 connection technology that are optimized for the
devices to be connected.
Bus terminals
The PROFIBUS bus terminals enable connection of a bus node
to a PROFIBUS network.
PROFIBUS bus connector
PROFIBUS FC M12 Plug PRO
PROFIBUS bus terminal
Active terminating element
Different versions are available:

Up to 1.5 Mbit/s: RS 485 bus terminal
Up to 12 Mbit/s: 12M bus terminal
The bus terminals have a prepared device connection for
PROFIBUS stations. Stations are connected to PROFIBUS networks by simply connecting sub D connectors to the spur line.
Multi-point connections can be implemented by directly lining
up several bus terminals (up to 32 stations per segment) at
bus terminal 12M.
Active terminating element
The active RS 485 terminating resistor is used to terminate bus
segments. Power supply is independent of the bus stations.
Separately from the other I/O components, the terminating resistor is supplied with a permanent voltage or with a voltage
switched from the I/O. By terminating the bus system, the stations (e.g. ET 200M/S) can be freely connected and disconnected without malfunctions.
Repeater RS 485
The RS 485 repeater with IP20 connects two PROFIBUS or MPI
bus segments in RS 485 technology with up to 32 stations, including repeaters. It enables transfer rates from 9.6 Kbit/s to
12 Mbit/s (including 45.45 Kbit/s for PROFIBUS PA).
Repeater RS 485
The repeater is used for:

Increasing the number of stations (up to 127) and expansion
Galvanic isolation of segments
Regeneration of the signals in amplitude and time
19
Siemens AG 2011

Electrical network
Diagnostics repeater
STEP 7 or COM PROFIBUS prompts the diagnostics repeater to
determine the topology of the bus system and saves it in the
internal diagnostics memory.
If a fault occurs, the repeater automatically transmits a standard diagnostic message to the bus master with the following
information:
Affected segment
Fault location (e.g. between station X and Y)
Distance of the fault location from station X or Y as well as
from the repeater in meters
Type of fault
The following faults are diagnosed:
Break in data lines A, B
Data-line-to-shield short circuit
Bus terminating resistor missing
Sporadic errors are also detected.
The error messages are displayed graphically in STEP 7. They
are completely integrated into the SIMATIC system diagnostics
(e.g. overview diagnostics, "Report system error" function).
Power Rail Booster
The Power Rail Booster enables a PROFIBUS DP connection via
contact conductors as used, for example, on suspended
monorail conveyors or high-bay storage and retrieval systems.
The diverse PROFIBUS DP system capabilities, such as diagnostics and PROFIsafe safety engineering over the bus, can continue to be used.

Optical network
Optical Link Module OLM
With the PROFIBUS OLM (Optical Link Modules), optical
PROFIBUS networks can be established in linear, star and redundant ring topologies. The transfer rate of a fiber-optic line
is independent of the distance and can be up to 12 Mbit/s.
Possible applications for OLMs include:
System buses based on PROFIBUS
Networking between buildings using glass fiber-optic cable
Mixed networks with electrical and optical segments
Networks covering a wide area
(road tunnels, traffic control systems)
Networks with high availability requirements
(redundant ring networks)
OLM/G12-EEC for outdoor use at temperatures as low as
-20 C
Benefits
Automatic detection of all PROFIBUS data rates:

9.6 Kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s including 45.45 Kbit/s
(PROFIBUS PA)
PROFIBUS OLM
PROFIBUS OBT
OBT optical bus terminal

The OBT (Optical Bus Terminal) is used to connect a PROFIBUS
DP station without integral optical interface or an existing
RS 485 bus segment to an optical line. It thus opens up the
benefits of optical data transfer for existing DP devices or network segments in combination with devices possessing an integral optical interface (e.g. ET 200S FO).
High availability due to media redundancy
The distance between two OLMs in the redundant

ring is only limited by the optical range of the modules
The OBT is also used as the "socket outlet" for connecting mobile devices (e.g. programming devices) without interrupting
the bus.
The PROFIBUS DP station is connected to the RS 485 interface
of the OBT via a cable terminated at both ends, e.g. connecting cable 830-1T. The OBT is integrated into the optical line using two optical interfaces.
RS 485 interface with segment capability

(sub D socket)
The following optical transmission media can be connected to

the OBT:
Unrestricted multi-master operation:

Expanded segmentation functions for localization of
faults on fiber-optic and RS 485 segments
Plastic fiber-optic cable

pre-assembled with 2 2 Simplex connectors, max. 50 m
PCF fiber-optic cable
pre-assembled with 2 2 Simplex connectors, max. 300 m.
Fast localization of faults:

Indication of module status through floating
signaling contact
Checking the fiber-optic cable route quality:
Measurement output for optical receiver for logging and validity checking of the fiber-optic path
attenuation with a voltmeter
Signaling of the fault at its location of origin, no
indication of secondary faults
High cascading depth: Line and redundant ring up to

124 OLM (only limited by monitoring times)
Large range due to use of glass fiber-optic cables in

lengths of up to 15 km
Benefits
Existing devices with electrical interface can be connected to new optical networks, as can existing bus
segments
Low-cost solution for simple optical networking
Time savings thanks to simple and fast assembly of

the fiber-optic cable connectors directly on-site.

Siemens AG 2011
Network transitions between one bus system and another are

implemented using links, PLCs or PCs.
In the case of PLCs or IPCs, this can take place via integrated
interfaces and communications processors (CPs). Links pass
the data through from one network to another without additional links.
On Industrial Ethernet, the proxy represents one or more fieldbus devices (e.g. on PROFIBUS). It ensures transparent conversion of the communication between the networks (no tunneling of the protocols), and forwards the cyclic data, for example, to the fieldbus devices.
Links are independent components that form the seamless

transition between the various bus systems, e.g. between
Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS. For example, HMI systems
can gain easy access from Industrial Ethernet to field devices
on the PROFIBUS or on the AS-Interface.
As PROFIBUS master, the proxy coordinates data exchange between the PROFIBUS stations. At the same time, it is an
Ethernet station with PROFINET communication. Proxies can
be implemented as controllers or purely as network transitions.
The same principle is applied when integrating AS-Interface
systems.
This enables implementation of vertical integration from the

control level to the field level.
As well as wired proxies on Industrial Ethernet, SIMATIC NET

also offers proxies with Industrial Wireless LAN connection.
The following links are available:

IE/PB Link PN IO
for the transition from Industrial Ethernet to PROFIBUS
IWLAN/PB Link PN IO
for the transition from IWLAN to PROFIBUS
DP/AS-i LINK Advanced, DP/AS-i F LINK and DP/AS Interface

systems with high transparency.

Fast fieldbus communication with PROFIBUS
Effectiveness and efficiency are essential in the case of solution concepts for plant components of automation tasks. This
means that very high demands are also imposed on the communication performance with regard to data rates.
Communication modules for SIMATIC S7-1200
Thanks to their protocol preprocessing, communications processors maintain a constant data throughput. At a stable high
level, they offer fast response times and rule out any fluctuations in communication performance.
The PROFIBUS DP master CM 1243-5 can communicate with

other CPUs, with PGs, with HMI devices, or with PROFIBUS DP
slaves (e.g. ET 200, SINAMICS). A maximum of 16 DP slaves
can be connected as field devices.
With the CM 1242-5 as an intelligent DP slave, the SIMATIC
S7-1200 can communicate with every DP master.
Both modules offer a low-cost communication solution for a
wide range of applications.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are of key importance

in the world of automation. And communication forms the
nerve center in this respect.
Very good diagnostics options allow a fast response in the
event of a fault.
Communication modules are available for every performance
range of the S7 PLCs for connecting the SIMATIC S7 to
PROFIBUS.
They provide advantages such as:
Openness
in accordance with international standards (IEC 61158/
61784) so that different components can work together
Ruggedness
for use in harsh industrial environments and over a wide
temperature range
Certification
for use in ships or offshore units based on their shipbuilding certification (ABS)

OPC servers for Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET:
SNMP OPC server

The SNMP OPC server permits the diagnosis and parameterization of any Ethernet devices, such as switches, that have
SNMP functionality (Simple Network Management Protocol).
SNMP is an open and widely used protocol for the administration of TCP/IP networks. Products with SNMP functionality
have an "SNMP agent" that makes information available in a
structured form:
