PROFIBUS DFP11A
1 Introduction
The PROFIBUS option pcb is designed so that all fieldbus-specific settings, such as the station
address or the default bus parameters, can be made on the option pcb by means of a hardware
switch. These manual settings enable the drive inverter to be integrated into the PROFIBUS envi-
ronment and switched on in a very short space of time. Parameters can be set fully automatically
by the higher-level PROFIBUS master (parameter download). This innovation offers the benefits of
a shorter commissioning period for the plant as well as simpler documentation of the application
program, as all major drive parameter data can now be stored directly in the control program.

The use of a fieldbus system in drive technology requires additional monitoring functions, such as
fieldbus timeout or rapid stop concepts. The monitoring functions of the MOVIDRIVE
®
can be
matched to the specific application for which it is to be used. This feature enables you, for instance,
to specify which response the drive inverter should trigger if an error should occur in the bus. A
rapid stop will be practical for many applications, but it is also possible to freeze the last setpoints,
so that the drive can continue with the last valid setpoints (e.g. conveyor belt). As the functionality
of the control terminals is also ensured when the drive inverter is operated in the fieldbus mode,
fieldbus-independent rapid stop concepts can still be implemented via the drive inverter's termi-
nals.
The MOVIDRIVE
®
drive inverter offers numerous diagnostic facilities for commissioning and
servicing. For instance, both the setpoints transmitted from the higher-level control system as well
as the actual values can be checked with the integrated fieldbus monitor.
It also provides you with a lot of additional information on the status of the fieldbus option pcb. In
combination with the MX_SHELL software the fieldbus monitor function offers convenient diag-
nostic facilities in that it provides a detailed display of the fieldbus and inverter status information
as well as the facility to set all the drive parameters (including the fieldbus parameters).
