4.5 Intended use
The FTC470XDP protocol converter connects the serial Bender BMS bus to the serial PROFIBUS DP.
The converter is capable of transmitting information from the BMS bus to the PROFIBUS DP and vice
versa.
Interface on the PROFIBUS DP side:
Hence, the PROFIBUS Master must be informed about the protocol converter and its PROFIBUS ad-
dress. For that purpose refer to the file ftc_1003.gsd (See page 27).
Interface on the BMS side:
The FTC470XDP can be operated either as Master or as Slave.
The FTC470XDP is always operated as a slave on the PROFIBUS DP side
The FTC470XDP must take over the Master function if
- parameters are requested or modified
- or special control commands are given
