Setting Up Fanuc Robot as a Profibus Slave Ensure that the Profibus option is installed on the robot side (check the Fanuc robot communication options in the MENU settings). The PLC uses OpcOn (Bosch Rexroth) as the master. Connect the purple 9-pin cable to the PLC and configure the communication settings. MENU Settings Profibus Others … Read more
PROFIBUS is an international, open, and device-independent fieldbus standard. The transmission speed of PROFIBUS can be selected within the range of 9.6kbaud to 12Mbaud, and when the bus system starts, all devices connected to the bus should be set to the same speed. It is widely used in manufacturing automation, process automation, and other fields … Read more
The hardware of the PROFIBUS network consists of master stations, slave stations, network components, and network configuration and diagnostic tools.PROFIBUS – DP devices can be classified into three different types of stations. (1) Class 1 DP Master Station Class 1 DP Master Station (DPM1) is the central controller of the system, DPM1 cyclically exchanges information … Read more
Hello, electrical friends! Today, let’s talk about Siemens PLC communication protocols. As a seasoned automation engineer, I understand the importance of communication protocols in industrial automation systems. Just like people need a common language to communicate, different automation devices also require a “common language” to “talk” to each other. So, let’s embark on this exploration … Read more

PROFIBUS is defined by the German national standard DIN19245 and the European standard EN50170. In the industrial field, PROFIBUS has become a universal, open, and distinctly communicative fieldbus standard. PROFIBUS is a fieldbus technology used for data communication and control at the workshop level for factory automation, enabling a communication network from the field device … Read more
PROFIBUS interface is an RS485 serial port, typically using a SUB-D female connector, with the pin definitions as follows: Pin 3 is connected to the signal line B (red) of the PROFIBUS cable, while pin 8 is connected to the signal line A (green). Pins 2 and 7 provide a 24V power supply which can … Read more
1. Overview This article introduces the configuration of FANUC Robot Profibus communication as a slave, with a master station being a PLC that has Profibus DP functionality. The main steps are as follows: 2. Operation Steps 1. Confirm the Robot Profibus Functionality First, confirm whether the robot is equipped with the Profibus functionality. Select the … Read more
The plug and terminal resistor play a very important role in Profibus communication. They are very simple to use and do not require many complex settings; however, due to their simplicity, many engineers overlook some details during use, leading to various communication issues.(1) Structure and Simple Usage of Profibus Plugs Figure 1: Structure of Profibus … Read more
1 Characteristics of PROFIBUS-DP PROFIBUS-DP uses physical layer, data link layer, and user interface for high-speed data transmission at the field level. The master station periodically reads input information from the slave stations and sends output information to the slaves. The bus cycle time must be shorter than the master program cycle time. In addition, … Read more
