【Introduction】 A PROFIBUS DP slave with only one PROFIBUS DP interface can be connected to a redundant CPU via PROFINET or PROFIBUS. Below, we introduce two methods to achieve this using IE/PB LINK HA and Y LINK. (1) Recommended PROFINET Connection IE/PB LINK HA is a gateway between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP. It enables … Read more
Siemens Communication 1. Generally speaking, the communication network of an enterprise can be divided into three levels: enterprise level, workshop level, and site level. Enterprise Level: Top-level management of the enterprise; IT technology applications are very extensive, such as the INTERNET. Workshop Level: Solving communication between different process segments that need to coordinate work within … Read more

Profibus-DP Communication Between S7-200 and S7-300 PROFIBUS Fieldbus 1. Profibus-DP Communication Between S7-200 and S7-300 PLCs 1. Analysis: The S7-200 PLC does not support the DP communication protocol and does not have a Profibus-DP interface, so it cannot be directly connected as a slave. However, it can be connected to the Profibus-DP network by adding … Read more
The S7 protocol is the standard protocol used for communication between SIEMENS S7 series products. Its advantage is that both communication parties can establish a communication connection through the S7 protocol, regardless of whether they are on the same MPI bus, the same PROFIBUS bus, or the same Industrial Ethernet. The data exchange is independent … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training There have been persistent issues with Profibus communication at a certain brewery. Previously, SIAS and on-site engineers had re-planned the entire Profibus network topology, but there were still instances of DP slave devices dropping out, occurring multiple times in a short period, severely affecting the factory’s normal production. Therefore, the … Read more
Abstract This article introduces the application of Profibus bus communication technology in the remote control of the DRW type rotor scale, elaborating on the bus communication configuration method and remote control logic for the cement project at Sinoma International in Indonesia BAYAH.
PROFIBUS Physical Wiring and DP Connector Diagram From the diagram, it can be seen that when the switch is turned to “ON”, terminals A1 and B1 are connected to the termination resistor, so only A1 and B1 can be connected at the end of the DP network; otherwise, the termination resistor cannot be connected. When … Read more
Understanding the Differences Between Profibus, Profinet, and Ethernet Ethernet is a well-known network standard created by Xerox and developed in collaboration with Intel and DEC. It is the most widely used communication protocol standard for local area networks today, including standard Ethernet (10Mbit/s), Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s), and 10G Ethernet (10Gbit/s). PROFIBUS is an international, open, … Read more
