1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the 6KCV301PDP33 optional card for connecting of
inverters to Profibus-DP networks.
Drives belonging to AV300i series can be connected in network through the
6KCV301PDP33 card.
This manual is intended for design engineeres and technicians responsible for
the maintenance, commissioning and operation of Profibus-DP systems. A
basic knowledge of Profibus-DP is assumed and may be found in the “Draft
Standard DIN 19245 Part 3” manual.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF PROFIBUS-DP
Profibus-DP is a field Bus designed for a fast data exchange relating to sensors
/ actuators level; the communication is established between a Master central
unit (PLC or PC) and Slave units, i.e. sensors, actuators, drives, etc.
The data exchange is cyclic; the Master unit reads the Slaves input data and
writes the Slaves output data. The Bus cycle time is shorter than the cycle time
of the central unit; the Baud Rates for the 6KCV301PDP33 card are from 9,6
kbit/s to 12 kbit/s according to Profibus-DP standard part. 3.
