32.2 Profibus-DP
Fieldbus
The Profibus-DP interface can be used to integrate the controller into a
fieldbus system operating according to the Profibus-DP standard. This
Profibus version is especially designed for communication between
automation systems and decentralized peripheral devices at the field level,
and optimized for speed.
Data
transmission
The data transmission is made serially, using the RS485 standard.
GSD generator
GSD generator, the project-planning tool that is supplied with the package
(GSD = Gerätestammdaten, i.e. basic device data), is used to make a selection
of device characteristics for the controller to create a standardized GSD file
that is used to integrate the controller into the fieldbus system.
