module and slave devices.
This configuration gives the shortest network cycle time.
TSX Premium

4 18 6 66

Slave Slaves Slave Slave

126 slaves max. and 3 repeaters max.

PROFIBUS-DP protocol
The protocol principle is based on a master/slave bus. This principle ensures excellent
response times for I/O exchanges (cyclic exchanges), with a maximum network cycle
time of less than 5 ms at 12 Mbds.
Only master stations, sometimes called active stations, have access rights to the bus.
Slave (or passive) stations can only respond to requests.
Several types of device are standardized :
• master class 1 : in general PLC, robot, numerical control, etc
• master class 2 : device for configuring, programming and diagnosing the master
• slaves

In a multi-master configuration, each master station is assigned to slaves and forms a

subsystem.

1-3-3 PROFIBUS-FMS
In comparison with PROFIBUS-DP, which is designed for high speed data transfer,
PROFIBUS-FMS is designed for data communication and message handling between
intelligent slaves (ALTIVAR or man-machine interface) and the associated master
devices.
This type of communication is not supported by the TSX PBY 100 module.

3.1 Description
This section describes the various configuration, control and diagnostic possibilities
for a PROFIBUS-DP application.
The PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus and the master and slave devices can only be configured
using the Hilscher SyCon-PB configuration tool supplied by Schneider and its
documentation, reference TLX FBC M.
Any intervention on a module connected to PROFIBUS-DP requires the use of this
software. The user is advised to consult the software documentation.

specific documentation.
Access to application-specific screens
Using the mouse, double-click on the TSX PBY 100 graphic module to access the
application-specific screens. The first screen is Configuration.

3.3-2 Configuration screen

This screen, which is shown below, displays various information about the
PROFIBUS-DP configuration :

___________________________________________________________________________
3/3
The configuration screen can be used to display :
• a PROFIBUS-DP Slaves Configuration drop-down list of pre-configured
PROFIBUS-DP slave devices
• a PROFIBUS-DP General Configuration window
• an icon used to run the SyCon-PB software : this can be accessed provided that the
software is installed with the machine offline
• a View button for displaying the configuration of the bus and the master device
• a PROFIBUS-DP Configuration File window, providing access to the configuration
*.CNF text file
• a PROFIBUS-DP Slave Data window
There are two types of data :
• data provided by the user :
- the type of task
- the number of IW/QW
- the output status when the task is in STOP mode
- the number of diagnostic bytes
• data resulting from decoding the *.CNF text file from the configuration software
described in :
- the PROFIBUS-DP slave configuration drop-down list
- the slave x device information block
If the TSX PBY 100 module has never been configured, all fields are empty and the
module operates using the following default values :
• type of task : Mast
• number of IW/QW : 128
• outputs reset when the task is in STOP mode
• number of diagnostic bytes : 32

3.3-3 Data provided by the user

General Parameter Blocks
In the Task field, select the type of system task which will control the PROFIBUS-DP
fieldbus : MAST or FAST.
In the Outputs field, select the output behavior when the task is in STOP mode :
Maintain or Reset.
In the Nb IW\QW field, select the number of words used for the inputs and outputs : 32,
64, 128, 242.
In the Diagnostic Length field, select the length in bytes of the diagnostics from 6 to
244 bytes (32 by default). The size configured must be sufficient to contain the largest
diagnostics of the bus. If it is too small, the slave concerned will not be active on the
bus because its diagnostics will be invalid.
To optimize performance, select a minimum number of I/O words and diagnostic bytes
which should nevertheless be compatible with the actual bus configuration.

3.3-4 Data resulting from decoding the *.CNF text file

Displaying the PROFIBUS-DP slave configuration
The PROFIBUS-DP Slaves Configuration drop-down list shows the topology of the
PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus configuration. It displays the contents of the selected *.CNF text
file. The user can then access configuration of 125 possible devices. Each line of the
drop-down list displays the state of one device.
A line is shown below :

• the first field shows the slave device address (between 1 and 125)
• the second field shows an ID code (identification number supplied by the manufac-
turer)
• the third field shows if the slave is configured and present on the bus (1 if configured
and present)
• the fourth field shows if the slave is made up of several modules
• the last field shows the state of the watchdog
The number of slaves and the total number of I/O words are shown at the bottom of the
PROFIBUS-DP Configuration list. This data is in decimal format.

adjacent %IW blocks and all slave input data are listed by the adjacent %QW blocks.
Continuity of the %IW and %QW blocks is valid even with a modular slave.
Each slave data block starts with a new %IW or %QW. Consequently, the first slave I/O
word is always associated with a new %IW or %QW.
When the image (%IW or %QW) of the slave has a particular size (example 1 byte or
3 bytes), it is completed by unused bytes in order to handle I/O words.
Example of assignment

Image of inputs
Slave 2 Slave 1 Byte not Slave 17
2 words 1 byte used 1 word

%IWm.0.i %IWm.0.i+1 %IWm.0.j %IWm.0.k

Only bits 0 to 7 are significant

Image of outputs
Slave 17 Slave 2 Byte not
2 words 1 byte used

%QWm.0.i %QWm.0.i+1 %QWm.0.j

Only bits 0 to 7 are significant

!
SyCon-PB configuration software is required to assign the %IW and
%QW to each slave.

IW and QW addressing arrangement

One of the main aims of the I/O data arrangement is to make the addressing as clear
as possible.
A slave can be made up of several modules of different data sizes. In this case,
addresses may not be aligned correctly. To avoid this, the user can physically arrange
the modules in the slave rack by :
• grouping input modules of a particular size (example : 1 byte) in pairs
• grouping output modules of a particular size (example : 1 byte) in pairs
• positioning a single input module of a particular size (example : 1 byte) in the last input
module position
• positioning a single output module of a particular size (example : byte) in the last
output module position
Example : slave x with modules not arranged

3.3-6 Configuring a module
General configuration of PROFIBUS-DP
Before selecting a *.CNF text file, it is necessary to perform the following operations
(default values are shown in bold) :
• the field for the type of task : MAST or FAST
• the state of the outputs when the task is in STOP mode : Maintain or Reset
• the size of words %IW and %QW updated on each PLC scan : 32, 64, 128 or 242
words (128 : default value, 128 for the % IW and 128 for the % QW)
• the byte size for slave diagnostics (the value can vary from 6 to 244, 32 by default)
*.CNF text configuration file
SyCon-PB software is required for configuring :
• the fieldbus topology
• the memory allocation : addressing of each image module in the %IW and %QW
registers
• group definitions
• special functions
• exporting a *.CNF text file
SyCon-PB software can be directly accessed via the icon on the configuration screen.
After configuration, SyCon-PB software generates a *.CNF text file. This file describes
the behavior of the application and all the configuration information to be sent to the
module before starting the PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus.

___________________________________________________________________________
3/10
 Software setup 3

This file (or any other existing file) can be retrieved via the configuration screen on PL7
by performing the following operations :
• press the Select file button to select a *.CNF text file : the Open dialog box is
displayed

• select the access path and directory, then the *.CNF text file
• press the Open button to confirm your selection.

The file will be rejected if :

• the file format is incorrect
• there are more than 125 devices

3.5 PROFIBUS-DP diagnostics

PROFIBUS-DP diagnostic functions are used to quickly locate and identify faults on
devices connected to the bus. Diagnostic messages are exchanged on PROFIBUS-DP
by the TSX PBY 100 master module.
There are four types of diagnostics :
• Master diag : complete diagnostics of the TSX PBY 100 master module
• Slave diag : complete diagnostics of a single slave
• Compressed diag : complete diagnostics of all slaves
• list of diagnostics available for each slave
Each of these diagnostics can be read by PL7 software or by any other PC used for
debugging.

4.2 Downgraded application modes
4.2-1 Transmission medium faults
Communication fault when launching PROFIBUS-DP
This fault may be due to incorrect configuration or a faulty cable. In this case, the bus
remains in a non operational state and the slaves remain in a startup error state.
An error code is generated by the TSX PBY 100 master module as a diagnostic item.
All the slave diagnostic bits remain in their error state. The ERR LED is lit, and the other
LEDs are not.
Communication fault during operation
If a fault occurs while exchanges are in progress, an error code is generated by the TSX
PBY 100 master module as a diagnostic item. In this case, the slaves change to their
preconfigured error state after the watchdog time has elapsed.
The slave diagnostic bits are enabled to indicate the unavailability of slaves and
resetting of the inputs. The TSX PBY 100 module records the diagnostics and informs
the CPU of their availability via %IWMm.0.129:x10..x12.

4.2-2 TSX PBY 100 master module faults

When a fault is detected, exchanges of data, commands and diagnostics are inter-
rupted. After the watchdog time has elapsed, an error code is generated as a diagnostic
item.
If the exchanges are interrupted, the slave diagnostic bits are enabled to indicate the
unavailability of slaves and resetting of the inputs. The ERR LED is lit, and the other
LEDs are not.

___________________________________________________________________________
4/2
 Diagnostics 4

4.2-3 Slave faults

When the exchanges are in progress, a slave fault is indicated by a new diagnostic item.
If communication is still established, the slave generates the diagnostic item, otherwise
it is generated by the TSX PBY 100 master module.
The slave diagnostic bits are enabled to indicate its unavailability and resetting of its
inputs. The TSX PBY 100 module records the diagnostics and informs the CPU of their
availability via %IWMm.0.129:x10..x12.
If one or more slaves are faulty, the bus cycle slows down. Acknowledg-
ment of a diagnostic item and resetting the inputs may require several
PLC scans.

4.2-4 PLC CPU general faults

In the event of a communication fault between the CPU and the TSX PBY 100 module,
all the outputs are set to their error state (maintain or fallback) and the inputs are reset.
The ERR LED flashes to indicate the communication fault between the PLC CPU and
the TSX PBY 100 module.
Diagnostic data transfers between master and slave are not affected.

4.2-5 Resetting the outputs after loading an application

For slow speeds (less than 500 Kbit/s) and a long watchdog time, the slaves will
maintain the states of the outputs throughout the duration of the watchdog.
For slow speeds (less than 500Kbit/s) and a deactivated watchdog, the states of the
slave outputs will be maintained until the application has finished loading.

Bit x is reset to zero when slave x has been diagnosed by the SEND_REQ
communication function.
All the bits can be reset to zero simultaneously by the SEND_REQ command, the
parameter which identifies this table and the parameter which identifies the reset.

4.3-3 Compact diagnostics of all the slaves

This table shows the main diagnostics for each slave. The size of this table is always
125 bytes, with byte 0 corresponding to slave 1 and byte 124 corresponding to slave
125.
Each byte corresponds to a slave address and shows the same diagnostic information.

Bytes Structure Description

0..125 x0 : not_reachable x0=1 if slave x is not connected or off
x1 : not_ready x1=1 if slave x is not ready for data exchange
x2 : config_fault x2=1 if configuration fault on slave x when the test is
requested
x3 : prm_required x3=1 if slave x needs to be reconfigured and the
parameters reset
x4 : inactive x4=1 if slave x is inactive (excluded from processing)
x5 : invalid_rsp x5=1 if there is a fault in the last slave x response
x6 : param_fault x6=1 if there is a fault in the last slave x parameter message
x7 : master_lock x7=1 if the slave x parameters have already been set by
another master module

Situation 5 : Delayed start-up of a slave

Effects
A number of slaves on the bus do not react immediately on start-up without causing a bus
fault. After some time the slaves start.
Causes Actions
Some slaves require a control command • Modify the bus parameters to delay
before being activated. These slaves have transmission of the first command
been too slow to react to the first command • Add 5 time units to the Time-out
which was sent.

Situation 6 : Slaves intermittently faulty

Effects
Some slaves are intermittently faulty.
Causes
The slaves are subject to wiring or
using the SEND_REQ function
but the PBY 100 module tries to
reactivate them
Actions
• Reset all the diagnostics counters to zero
electromagnetic compatibility faults
• Test whether the new diagnostics have
been received by the PBY 100 module.
