DACHS^®  PROFIBUS

    

 

PROFIBUS was the first international open and vendor independent fieldbus standard which could be used in building, material flow, process and manufacturing automation, etc.

These coprocessor PB-PRO PCI boards from Softing allow to connect a PC to a PROFIBUS-DP or PROFIBUS-FDL/FMS network. The protocol software is processed by the onboard protocol ASIC ASPC2.  With a transmission speed of 12Mb/s, the ASPC2 master ASIC provides access to the PROFIBUS-DP slaves. The ASIC ASPC2 allows the board also to act as a DP slave. A second on-board processor handles the communication with the host system and the DP ASIC and also the processing of the layer 7 services e.g

These coprocessor boards (PROFIboard or PROFI104 from Softing) allow to connect a PC to a PROFIBUS-DP or PROFIBUS-FDL/FMS network. The protocol software is processed by the onboard protocol ASIC ASPC2 and SPC3.  With a transmission speed of 12Mb/s, the ASPC2 master ASIC provides access to the PROFIBUS-DP slaves. The ASIC SPC3 allows the board to act as a DP slave. A second on-board processor handles the communication with the host system and the DP ASIC and also the processing of the layer 7 services e.g.

 

Our DACHS^®  PROFIBUS application interface to the IO data is based on shared memory which provides the fastest data transfer between the application and the driver. This allows very short update cycles without overloading the CPU by unnecessary conversion or preprocessing at driver level.

 

The communication of the application with the driver for management, configuration, and diagnose functions is based on message passing (devctrls). 

 

All PROFIBUS services of the part 1-3 of the European Standard EN 50170 are completely supported in DACHS^®  PROFIBUS software.  The cycle time of the drivers are adjustable in the range from 1ms to 4ms. It is also possible to trigger the bus cycle by the applicaton.

 

We offer packages with soft- and hardware for the following PROFIBUS protocols:

 

PROFIBUS DP,   PROFIBUS FDL,  PROFIBUS FMS   all @ 12Mb/s

DACHS^®- PROFIBUS Run-Time Packages

 

Each package includes an interface board, a resource manager, Soft PLC target or visualization target if ordered, documentation, and run-time utilities

 

DACHS^®- PROFIBUS Development Packages

 

These packages are licensed per developer's seat. Per package is included a run-time package, the API libraries, necessary configurators, documentation and programing examples.

         

                                                                   

 

DP-Master Configurators
- Platform independent configurator for QNX6, Linux and MS Windows

 

 

This configurator supports a comfortable configuration based on GSD files.

 

 

 

 

 

- Configurator (CMD) with management and diagnostic functions under Photon

 

The configuration, management and diagnostic of the PROFIBUS-DP master and the related slaves are handled by the DACHS-CMD, a PHOTON application. The graphical user interface is implemented with PHOTON, the realtime-capable GUI from QNX. You retain the complete graphical surface even when handling via modem.
