Networking the PG 720 with Other Stations on PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is an open and robust bus system for industrial use. It can be
used to configure networks with up to 32 stations per segment. The data
transfer rate for PROFIBUS is 1.5 Mbps.
The network operates on the master-slave principle with token passing
(complying with DIN19245, PROFIBUS). It distinguishes between active
and passive stations. An active station receives the token and passes it on to
the next station within a specified time.
Using the following components, for example, you can connect or network
the PG 720 with PROFIBUS:
PCMCIA interface module
RS485 interface (adapter for PCMCIA)
Shielded, twisted pair (bus cable or connecting cable to network).
Note
You will find more detailed information about the SINEC modules in the
SIMATIC NET Catalog IK 10.
For information about installing the modules and making modifications to
the network configuration, please refer to the installation instructions for the
appropriate modules.
Make absolutely sure that you do not use interrupt 12, since this interrupt is
assigned to the integrated trackball.
