9. Getting started
A shortcut to get the Profibus communication up and running.
Make sure the BB2 box *2) to be used is switched off.
Open the front and locate the fieldbus module connector.
Connect yourself and the control box chassis to protective ground before opening
the antistatic package of the module to avoid static discharges that can damage the
module or the box.
Mount the module into the box, be careful to fit all 34 pins into the socket.
Fasten the three M2.5x5 screws
Set the rotary switches to the desired node address, or to “0 0” if you want to
configure the address in the BB2 menu Settings / Fieldbus.
Set the bus termination switch in position “On” if this is the last unit on the bus, else
set it to “Off”.
Connect the Profibus network, A-line (negative) line to screw terminal 3, B-line
(positive) to terminal 4, and shield to terminal 5.
Switch on the power to the BB2 box and check that the green led on the module
starts flashing.
If you have not set the address switches on the module you must set the node
address in the BB2 menu Settings / Fieldbus, exit the menu and then switch the
power off at least 10 seconds before it is switched on again.
Check in the BB2 menu System / Fieldbus / that the module is found and initiated.
Configure the Master system (PC, PLC or DCS) to communicate with the BB2 at
the selected node address using the data structure in previous chapter.
When the communication starts working the red LEDs in the lower right corner of
the module will go dark, and the green LED will light up. In the BB2 menu System /
Fieldbus “Online” will shift to “Yes”.
Now the Profibus communication should be working.
*2) Make sure that the program version of the BB2 box to be used has a program
version of 2.23 or higher. Before open the front, make sure that the main power
supply is switched off.
