Since there usually is not enough time during the gap to complete a full data
exchange, this process of data retrieval by the class 2 master may continue
over several cycles. At the end of record transfer, the class 2 master will
clear the connection. Note however, that the class 2 master may only
establish communication with the slaves during the gap time.
As stated earlier, it is possible for a class 2 master to temporarily take
over control of a DP slave. During this time, the DP slave will stop its normal
data exchange with its class 1 master. The class 1 master recognizes this
and will proceed to cyclically request diagnostics from the slave, checking
the Master Address field for as long as another valid address is present.
After the class 2 master finishes its communication with the slave, it sets the
Master Address field of the slave to invalid (255). This causes the class 1
master to attempt to regain control of the slave and it will reparameterize and
reconfigure the slave before resuming data exchange with it.
ProfiBus DP –
•
Open standard based on EN 50170.
•
Fastest Fieldbus standard to date with data rates up to 12MB.
•
Plug & play operation.
•
Up to 244 bytes of input/output data per message.
•
Up to 126 stations may connect to the bus.
•
Up to 32 stations per bus segment.
Class 1 Master –
•
Central controller that exchanges I/O data with connected slaves.
•
Determines the baud rate (slaves auto-detect this rate).
•
Manages the token transfer between masters. Detects another
master during the gap time.
Class 2 Master –
•
Diagnostic, configuration, or startup tool.
•
Can only control one slave at a time.
•
Does not have write-access to the slave.
•
Does not have a GSD file.
Slave -
•
A passive station which can only respond per a master request and
acknowledge messages. A slave has no bus control rights.
•
The GSD file defines the slave for the master.
