1 .O INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the option card for the connection of and converters to the
Interbus-S network.
The DV300 and AV300 drives can be connected to the network through this card.
This manual is intended for design engineers and technicians responsible for the maintenance,
commissioning and operation of InterBus-S systems. A basic knowledge of Interbus-S is assumed. For
further information refer to ((Reference Manual for
Information
is a Bus designed for automated applications and industrial control.
It allows the interconnection of field devices produced by different manufacturers into a single system.
architecture is based on the communication model 7498). uses layer 1
(physical layer), layer 2 (data connection layer) and layer 7 (application layer). Because of costs and
efficiency the 3rd through 6th layers have not been implemented.
The 7th layer of Interbus-S is made up of two parts, PMS (Peripherals Message Specification) and LLI
(Lower Layer Interface); the between the PMS layer and 2nd layer (Protocol Data Link) is
obtained with LLI.
The purpose of PMS is to supply the user with a Standard interface to several automated devices which are
able to communicate with Interbus-S thus obtaining an communication,> system.
PMS also supplies a subset of services defined in PROFIBUS and it is based on FMS (Fieldbus Message
Specification) of PROFIBUS; uniformity with the automated MAP system ( Automation
Protocol) is obtained even with a limited use of the PROFIBUS protocol.
