10P-0008 PROFIBUS DPCommunication CardTo be used with AC10P Series Inverter

The 10P-0008 is compatible with all master stations that support the PROFIBUS protocol. 10P0008 can be a PROFIBUS-DP slave which can connect Parker’s AC10P series inverter to

PROFIBUS network

PROFIBUS is a vendor independent, open fieldbus standard for a wide range of applications

in manufacturing, process and building automation. Vendor independence and openness are

guaranteed by the PROFIBUS standard EN50170. With PROFIBUS, devices from different

manufacturers can inter-communicate. Suitable interfaces exist for PLCs, which include the

Siemens, Mitsubishi and Allen Bradley range.

PROFIBUS-DP (De-central Periphery) is described in DIN 19245 Part 3, and forms part of EN

50170 with P-Net and WorldFIP. However it is important to note that P-Net and WorldFIP are

wholly incompatible with PROFIBUS, using different wiring and transmission technologies.

The PROFIBUS-DP network uses a high speed version of the RS485 standard, permitting baud

rates of up to 12Mbaud.

A maximum of 32 PROFIBUS-DP stations (nodes) may be contained within a single network

segment. Use of RS485 repeaters allows a total of up to 126 stations.

PROFIBUS-DP is a multimaster, master-slave, token passing network. More detailed

information, including a detailed guide to products available, may be obtained from the various

world-wide PROFIBUS user organisations.
