Mapping mode
The ‘mapping mode’ option provides extensive possibilities to exchange data between
two PROFIBUS system connected to Bus0 and Bus1 interfaces. This option is suitable
for modernizations but also for plain data coupling on a PROFIBUS level. A classic DP-
DP coupler is available for transfer of output data of one slave to the input data range of
an assigned slave in a bidirectional way. In addition the output data of existing slaves of
the PROFIBUS system Bus0 can be sniffed and transferred to the input data range of an
assigned slave. In total up to 8 of these mapping assignments can be used (when using
the expansion of active slaves even 16). The functionality of the mapping mode therefore
offers much more than just a classic DP-DP coupler.
Overview of the most important characteristic values:
Bus monitor for PROFIBUS DP
Connections for 2 PROFIBUS lines up to 12 Mbit/s
Sniffer function for interference free acquisition of the cyclic master slave communi-
cation (DP-V0)
Up to 8 or 16
active slaves can be configured; can be distributed as required on
both connections
Acquisition of up to 244 bytes per active slave
Flexible configuration of sampling rate, data format and data volume
Support of ibaNet protocol 32Mbit Flex: Transmission of configuration and measure-
ment data via bidirectional FO connection
Compatibility mode 3Mbit and 32Mbit allows the exchange of previous devices
ibaBM-DPM-S and ibaBM-DPM-S-64
Request procedure can be used with ibaPDA for SIMATIC S7, FM458 and TDC

License model
Additional licenses are needed for some functional expansions:
Expansion of active slaves on the device from 8 to 16
Redundancy mode
Simulation mode
Mirror mode
Mapping mode
Note
Licenses for functional expansions are tied to the serial number of the device. The
licenses are activated via the web interface of the device or via the I/O Manager in
ibaPDA by entering a license key.
For buying a license key for one or more functions, please contact iba AG.
