1. Overview
The open field network ProfiBus-DP is a multi-bit, multi-vendor network for communication of both control and
data signals of the machine/line control level.
A wire-saving system can be built by connecting IAI’s X-SEL, TT, RCS-C, E-Con, ACON, PCON, SCON, ASEL,
PSEL and SSEL controllers (hereinafter collectively and individually referred to as “Each Controller”) to a
ProfiBus-DP network.
Each controller is treated as a slave station in ProfiBus-DP and can be used to exchange I/O data.
* For details on ProfiBus-DP, refer to the operation manual for the programmable controller (hereinafter referred
to as “PLC”) in which the master unit is installed.
This operation manual should be used in conjunction with the operation manual for each controller.
You should also assume that any usage not specifically permitted in this operation manual is prohibited.

a configurator (*2).
The baud rate of all ProfiBus-DP slave modules is set with this configurator, and therefore a different baud rate
cannot be set for an individual slave station.
*2 For the ProfiBus-DP configurator, use the configurator recommended for the master unit.

3. X-SEL Controller
3.1 ProfiBus-DP Board Types and Installation Positions in the X-SEL
There are six types of X-SEL controllers that support ProfiBus-DP, as listed below. The installation position of the
ProfiBus-DP board is different depending on whether the X-SEL controller is of PR0 type or PR1 type.
* The PR1 board can be installed in any one of expansion I/O slots 1 to 3.
*2 The ProfiBus-DP board is installed in the same position as shown in Fig. 3.4. With a 5-axis or 6-axis
specification, the ProfiBus-DP board is installed in the same position as with a 4-axis specification.

(3) Bus termination settings <Set using the termination switch>
Among the units connected to a ProfiBus-DP network, the devices at both ends require termination to prevent
reflected waves from entering the bus line again.
This ProfiBus-DP module provides a termination switch that makes this termination easy.
The user need not install a separate terminal resistor. Never install an additional terminal resistor, as it may
have negative impact on bus communication or cause a communication error, etc.
<Bus termination settings>
.
Termination switch ON Termination enabled
(If this switch is turned ON mistakenly when the module is connected in a position
other than the end of the network, bus communication may be negatively impacted
or a communication error, etc., may result.)
Termination switch OFF Termination disabled

(4) Node address settings <Set by the address setting dials>
The address of each ProfiBus-DP slave station is set using the “x10” and “x1” rotary switches shown in the figure
under (1).
Set a desired address according to the following rule:
Node address number = (“Value set by x10” rotary switch x 10) + (“Value set by x1” rotary switch x1)
Example)
Example of rotary switch settings
Target station number “X10” setting (x 10) “X1” setting (x 1)

12 1 2
Note 1) When setting ProfiBus-DP station numbers, remember that the ProfiBus-DP master station is always
assigned station number 0. Accordingly, numbers 1 to 99 are available for slave stations.
Note 2) The node address cannot be changed while the slave is communicating with the master.

3.3 Setting X-SEL I/O Parameters (Assigning I/O Ports)
Set the X-SEL input/output ports to be used in ProfiBus-DP communication. The X-SEL supports many variations
of input/output port settings depending on how the applicable I/O parameters are set. (For details, refer to
“Operation Manual for X-SEL Controller.” All of the parameter numbers shown below indicate the I/O parameter
numbers of the X-SEL controller.)
3.3.1 Board Installation Positions (Slots) and I/O Parameters
I/O parameter Nos. 2 to 9
Enter the first I/O numbers among the I/Os assigned to the installed board.
Enter “-1” for port numbers not used.
Error monitor parameter Nos. 10 to 13
In normal conditions of use, set “1” for an expansion I/O board or SIO board.
For a ProfiBus-DP board, the setting is normally “2.”
Take note that the above setting can be changed in a range of “0” to “3” at the user’s responsibility.
If set to “0” --- The controller does not monitor any error occurring in the board installed in each slot.
If set to “1” --- The controller monitors all errors occurring in the board installed in each slot.
If set to “2” --- The controller monitors all errors occurring in the board installed in each slot, except for errors
relating to the 24-V board power supply.
If set to “3” --- The controller monitors only errors relating to the 24-V board power supply for the board installed
in each slot.
(1) J/JX type (compact type)
(Note) The J type has no expansion slots I/O2 and 3. With this type of controller, therefore, parameter Nos. 6 to
9 are all set to “-1,” while Nos. 12 and 13 are set to “0.”
If the controller is of 1-axis or 2-axis specification, Nos. 4 and 5 are also set to “-1,” while No. 11 is set to
“0.”

when a ProfiBus-DP board is set in the slots denoted by A above. If a ProfiBus-DP board is set in the
slots denoted by B, Nos. 8 and 9 are set to “-1,” while No. 13 is set to “0.”

3.3.3 Automatically Assigning X-SEL I/Os
Set the X-SEL input/output ports to be used in ProfiBus-DP communication. The X-SEL supports many
variations of input/output port settings depending on how the applicable I/O parameters are set. (For details,
refer to “Operation Manual for X-SEL Controller.”)
This manual covers the representative setting method as explained below.
Basically, the input/output port assignment type is set to “automatic assignment” using I/O parameter No. 1, and
input/output port addresses are set using Nos. 2 and 3. If an expansion I/O board is used, install the expansion
I/O board in each slot number in the specified order, and I/O ports will be assigned automatically. There is no
need to set the parameters for initial input/output port numbers for the expansion I/O board.
I/O parameter number Value Description
1 1 I/O numbers are assigned automatically.
2 0 Standard DIs are assigned from input port 0.
3 300 Standard DOs are assigned from output port 300.
14 n
The number of ProfiBus-DP input points is specified as a multiple of 16.
(16 ≤n ≤256)
15 m
The number of ProfiBus-DP output points is specified as a multiple of 16.

3.3.4 Setting Examples for J/JX/K/KX Type Controllers
(1) Setting example when only a ProfiBus-DP board is installed in the standard I/O slot (automatic assignment)
(A ProfiBus-DP board is installed in the standard I/O slot and all expansion I/O slots are empty)
Example: In the case of automatic assignment, the following settings apply if you want to use 128 input points
and 128 output points as I/O ports of the ProfiBus-DP slave station:
[1] Enter “1” in I/O parameter No. 1 to specify automatic assignment.
[2] Set I/O parameter No. 10, “Standard I/O error monitor” to “2.”
[3] Settings are complete by only specifying I/O parameter Nos. 14 and 15, “Input/output ports used.”

(2) Setting example when a ProfiBus-DP board is used with an expansion I/O board (automatic
assignment)
The port numbers of the expansion board are assigned automatically in accordance with the numbers of I/O ports
of the ProfiBus-DP slave station set by I/O parameter Nos. 14 and 15.
Example: If one expansion I/O board (IA-103-X-32: 32 input points, 16 output points) is installed in expansion
slot I/O1 when the maximum numbers of inputs and outputs of the ProfiBus-DP slave station are 256
and 256, respectively, entering “256” in I/O parameter Nos. 14 and 15 will automatically set I/O
parameter Nos. 2 and 3, as shown below.
A ProfiBus-DP board is installed in the standard I/O slot and an expansion I/O board is installed in expansion slot
I/O1.
[1] Enter “1” in I/O parameter No. 1 to specify automatic assignment. (Default setting)
[2] Set I/O parameter No. 10, “Standard I/O error monitor” to “2.” (Default setting)
[3] Set I/O parameter No. 11, “Standard I/O error monitor” to a value in a range of “1” to “3.”
[4] Set I/O parameter Nos. 14 and 15, “Input/output ports used.” <A desired value can be set in a range of 8 to
256 (but the value must be a multiple of 8)>.
As a standard, input port numbers are assigned sequentially from No. 0. Since the ProfiBus-DP slave station
already occupies 0 to 255 (total 256 points), “256” is automatically assigned as the initial input port number for
expansion slot I/O1 based on fixed assignment.
On the other hand, output port numbers are assigned sequentially from No. 300 as a standard. Since the
ProfiBus-DP slave station already occupies 300 to 555 (total 256 points), “556” is automatically assigned as the
initial output port number expansion slot I/O1 based on fixed assignment.
