11.2 Communication Profibus PA
Instrument master file
The instrument master file (GSD) contains the characteristic data of the Profibus PA instrument.
These data are, e.g. the permissible transmission rates as well as information on diagnostics values
and the format of the measured value outputted by the PA instrument.
A bitmap file is also provided for the Profibus network planning tool. This file is installed automati-
cally when the GSD file is integrated. The bitmap file is used for symbolic indication of the PA instru-
ment in the configuration tool.
ID number
Each Profibus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Profibus user
organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD file. Optionally to this
manufacturer-specific GSD file, PNO provides also a general so-called profile-specific GSD file. If
the general GSD file is used, the sensor must be set to the profile-specific ident number via the DTM
software. By default, the sensor operates with the manufacturer-specific ID number. When using the
instruments on a segment coupler SK-2 or SK-3, no special GSD files are required.
Module of the PA sensors
For the cyclic data traffic, VEGABAR 82 provides the following modules:
•
AI FB1 (OUT)
– Out value of the AI FB1 after scaling
•
AI FB2 (OUT)
– Out value of the AI FB2 after scaling
•
AI FB3 (OUT)
– Out value of the AI FB3 after scaling
•
Free Place
– This module must be used if a value in the data telegram of the cyclical data traffic should not
be used (e.g. replacement of temperature and Additional Cyclic Value)
A maximum of three modules can be active. By means of the configuration software of the Profibus
master you can determine the configuration of the cyclical data telegram with these modules. The
procedure depends on the respective configuration software.
Note:
The modules are available in two versions:
•
Short for Profibus master supporting only one "Identifier Format" byte, e.g. Allen
Bradley
•
Long for Profibus master only supporting the "Identifier Format" byte, e.g. Siemens
S7-300/400
Examples of telegram configuration
In the following you will see how the modules can be combined and how the appendant data tel-
egram is structured.
