Fieldbus tailored for the needs of the process industry :
MBP “Manchester Coded and Bus Powered” IEC 61158-2
Bus powered
Intrinsically safe
Devices can be configured over the bus
Slower speed 31.25 Kbit/s
What is PROFIBUS PA
FISCO
RS485
MBP
Why Use a Fieldbus
Normal Operating
Range 4- 20mA
Signals below 4mA indicate
instrument failure
0mA indicate open circuit
Signals above 20mA indicate
instrument failure
4 – 20mA
Scaling and Accuracy
Fieldbus Motivation
Profibus PA
4- 20mA
Benefits of Using a Fieldbus
Reliable data from Field devices
More accurate readings with regards to resolution
More diagnostics to prove instrument functionality
Data presented in same format
Remote configuration
Nuisance alarms. Good
Unchecked
Configuration error
Fault
Maintenance required
Advance maintenance warning
Process error
Communication interrupted
Simulation
Communication good
Device has no diagnosticsDevice passive or not
assigned

Converting from Profibus DP to PA
Coupler Link + Coupler
Low speed connection High speed connection
# Manufacturer specific e.g. PF SK1 93.75Kbits
•Lower Cost
•Profibus DP Side is slowed to 45.45kbaud #
•Coupler is Invisible to the network
•Can only have 124 devices
(DP &PA addresses are combined)
•Profibus DP side can be any speed (12 Meg)
•Link Module takes one DP address
•Up to 5 couplers
•Can have 1000’s devices
•Can have faster update times

Design, Installation and Commissioning

1. Spur Lines and Lengths must correlate
2. Use Class A, PROFIBUS PA cable and
use only one cable manufacturer
3. Total cable length depends on coupler
used, can not exceed 1900 meters for
none IS
4. Ensure that there is more than 9V at
each slave
5. Total number of devices depends on the
current draw.
6. Terminate at the extreme ends of the
segment
7. Follow recommended grounding
practices
8. Intrinsically Safe (IS) design affects
maximum spur lengths and total length.
9. Ensure spur length does not exceed the
trunk line length
