About this Manual
This manual describes the CS1W-PRM21 and CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS DP-V1
Master Units. The Unit version number on the side case of the housing indicates supported functional-
ity. If no version number is shown, the version number is 1.0. The following table lists the functions sup-
ported per version number.
Unit version 3.0 includes the same functions as Unit version 1.0 and 2.0, in addition to PROFIBUS DP-
V1 Class 2 related functions. Unit version 3.0 will eventually replace Unit version 1.0 and 2.0.
The DTM versions are downward compatible. Newer versions also support features of previous Unit
versions.
Note Unless stated otherwise, specifications, descriptions and images in this manual apply to all
Unit versions of the CS1W-PRM21 and CJ1W-PRM21 Units. The indication PROFIBUS Mas-
ter Unit(s) will be used when referring to both unit types.
Note The basic functionality of PROFIBUS DP is sometimes referred to as PROFIBUS DP-V0. In
this document the term PROFIBUS DP will be used to indicate the basic functionality.
This manual describes how to install and operate the CS1W-PRM21 and CJ1W-PRM21 Units. Both
Units serve the same purpose: enable devices of various manufacturers to intercommunicate without
making any special interface adaptations. They are technically the same; they differ only in their phys-
ical dimensions and weight and the way they are connected to the backplane.
This manual also describes - to a lesser extent - how to configure the C200HW-PRM21 PROFIBUS
DP Master Unit using the CX-Profibus Configurator. For more information on the C200HW-PRM21
PROFIBUS DP Master Unit, refer to the C200H-series PROFIBUS DP Master Units Operation Manual
(W349-E2-@).
Please read this manual carefully so that you understand the information provided before installing or
using the PROFIBUS Master Unit. Start with the precautions in the following section. They describe
the operating environment and application safety measures which must be observed prior to and when
using the PROFIBUS Master Unit.
The sections of this manual are as follows:
Section 1 introduces the PROFIBUS Master Units and CX-Profibus.
Section 2 describes the installation and setup of the PROFIBUS Master Units.
Section 3 describes the installation of CX-Profibus and provides a overview.
Section 4 describes how the Units interface to the PLC CPU.
Section 5 describes the FINS commands supported by the PROFIBUS Master Units.
Section 6 describes the operational aspects of the PROFIBUS Master Units.
Section 7 provides procedures for troubleshooting the PROFIBUS network and the Units.
The Appendices contain information supplementary to the information in the main body of the man-
ual. They are referred to in the various sections as required.
