I/O modules have built-in LEDs allowing for "on site " diagnostics. All
diagnostic and status indicator LEDs comply with DIN EN 60073 and
NAMUR NE44. In addition to this, PROFIBUS diagnostics down to channel-
specific error messages is possible via the communication bus.
Communication Interface CI920
Functionality
The communication interface connects the S900 Station to the external
fieldbus. The data received via the fieldbus are distributed accordingly to the
respective I/O modules. The parameters are submitted to a plausibility check.
The incoming data are buffered and are available even in case of a fieldbus
failure. When an I/O module needs to be replaced, the new module can be
parameterized immediately.
The input data and diagnostic data from the I/O modules are collected and
then put in the respective fieldbus data telegram.
Parameterization
The parameters are transmitted via the internal CAN bus. The transmission is
triggered by events. When a parameter telegram is received via the fieldbus,
the respective modules are parameterized immediately. When the
communication interface recognizes a new module that has already been
integrated in the project, this module is parameterized immediately.
Diagnostics
The transmission of diagnostic data from the I/O modules is triggered by
events. A diagnostic message is transmitted immediately via the external
fieldbus.
Input data
The input data are read cyclically from the communication interface. Digital
modules transmit their data every 5 ms, whereas analog modules transmit
