New Functions and Features 10-5
All PROFIBUS blocks are housed in the PBUSIF (PROFIBUS Interface)
library of the ProcessLogix database, as visible on the Library tab of
Control Builder (CB). The PFBUSIF library introduces the following
blocks:
•
PBIM block, an IOM block representing the SST-PFBCLX
module.
•
“Generic” blocks, specifically a generic Device/Module Block
and associated generic input and output channel blocks. These
blocks can be configured to create an interface to most
PROFIBUS DP devices.
•
Encoder Module/Channel blocks, which conform to the PTO
Encoder Profile
•
Motor Drive (frequency converter) module/channel blocks,
which conform to the PTO PROFIDRIVE profile.
•
Siemens Simatic I/O Module blocks: AI, AO, DI, and DO, which
are used with the standard I/O channel blocks.
•
Siemens Simocode 3UF5x Motor Protection and Control Device
Limitations and Exclusions
The release of the PBUSIF library in ProcessLogix R400.0 does not
include PROFIBUS Diagnostic capability. PROFIBUS slave stations are
capable of reporting specific diagnostic information via PROFIBUS DP.
The interpretation of this data is not supported in the initial release of
the PROFIBUS block library.
Control Builder Match Dialog Support UCD Tab
It is now possible to match a device from the uncommissioned device
tab if the uncommissioned device matches a device template in the
users Library.
CM Chart Visualization
The default display for Control Modules is now an ActiveX chart that
shows the contents of the Control Module chart in an identical way to
the chart in Control Builder.
