6 Conformance to EC Directives
6-1 Applicable Directives
•EMCDirectives
• Low voltage directive EN 61131-2:1994+A12:2000
6-2 Concepts EMC Directives
OMRON Units complying with EC Directives also conform to related EMC
standards making them easier to incorporate in other Units or machines. The
actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards. (See
the following note.) Whether the products conform to the standards in the sys-
tem used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of OMRON Units complying with EC Directives will
vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equip-
ment or control panel in which OMRON devices are installed. The customer
must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that units and the overall sys-
tem conforms to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility) and EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference standards in the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards
are as follows:
6-3 Conformance to EC Directives
PROFIBUS-DP Units that meet EC directives must be installed as follows:

Conformance to EC Directives 6
Units that meet EC directives also meet the common emission standard
(EN50081-2). The measures necessary to ensure that the standard is met will
vary with the overall configuration. You must therefore confirm that EC direc-
tives are met for the overall configuration, particularly any radiated emission
requirement (10 m).

1-1 Overview of PROFIBUS
1-1-1 Introduction
Standard EN50170r PROFIBUS (PROcess FIeldBUS) is an open fieldbus standard for a wide
range of applications in manufacturing, processing and building automation.
The Standard, EN 50170 (the Euronorm for field communications), to which
PROFIBUS adheres, guarantees vendor independence and transparency of
operation. It enables devices of various manufacturers to intercommunicate
without having to make any special interface adaptations.
The PROFIBUS family comprises three mutually compatible versions:
PROFIBUS-FMS, PROFIBUS-DP and PROFIBUS-PA.
PROFIBUS-FMS FMS means Fieldbus Message Specification. This version is the general-pur-
pose solution for high-level extensive and complex communication tasks.
Powerful services open up a wide range of applications and provide great
flexibility.
PROFIBUS-DP DP means Decentralized Periphery. PROFIBUS-DP is optimized for high
speed and low-cost interfacing. It is specially designed for communication
between automation control systems and distributed I/O at the device level.
PROFIBUS-PA PA means Process Automation. It permits sensors and actuators to be con-
nected to one common bus even in areas where intrinsically safe products are
required. It also permits data and power to be supplied over the bus using
2-wire technology according the international standard IEC 1158-2.
Uniform Bus Access
Protocol PROFIBUS-DP and PROFIBUS-FMS use the same transmission technology
and uniform bus access protocol. Consequently, both versions can be oper-
ated simultaneously on the same bus. FMS field devices, however, cannot be
controlled by DP masters and vice versa.
!Caution It is not possible to exchange one of these family members by another family
member. This will cause faulty operation.
The rest of this section describes the PROFIBUS-DP Protocol architecture.
1-1-2 PROFIBUS Communication Protocol
OSI reference model
ISO-7498
In general, the PROFIBUS communication protocol is based on the Open
System Interconnection (OSI) reference model in accordance with the inter-
national standard ISO-7498 (see the following illustration). It defines commu-
nication layers 1, 2, and 7.
• Layer 1, the Physical Layer of this model, defines the physical transmis-
sion characteristics.
• Layer 2, the Data Link Layer of this model, defines the bus access proto-
col. This protocol also includes data security and the handling of trans-
mission protocols and telegrams.

Overview of PROFIBUS Section 1-1
• Layer 7, the Application Layer of this model, defines the application func-
tions. This Layer is only applicable to PROFIBUS-FMS.
OSI Layer 1, 2 and user
interface PROFIBUS-DP uses layers 1 and 2, and the user interface. Layers 3 to 7 are not defined for PROFIBUS-DP. The User interface Layer defines the interface
functions for specific application areas, i.e. the PROFIBUS-DP basic functions
and communication profiles.This streamlined architecture ensures fast and
efficient data transmission. The application functions which are available to
the user, as well as the system and device behaviour of the various PROFI-
BUS-DP device types, are specified in the user interface.
OSI Layer 1: Transmission
medium RS-485 transmission technology or fibre optics are available for transmission. RS-485 transmission is the most frequently used transmission technology. Its
application area includes all areas in which high transmission speed and sim-
ple inexpensive installation are required. PROFIBUS modules are intercon-
nected by single twisted-pair shielded copper wires.
RS-485 technology The RS-485 transmission technology is very easy to handle. Installation of the
twisted pair cable does not require expert knowledge. The bus structure per-
mits addition and removal of stations or step-by-step commissioning of the
system without influencing the other stations. Later expansions have no effect
on stations which are already in operation.
RS-485 Transmission
speed Transmission speeds between 9.6 kbit/s and 12 Mbit/s can be selected as
shown in the table below. One unique transmission speed must selected for
all devices on the bus (master and slave devices) when the system is com-
missioned
Cable length The maximum cable length values depend on the transmission speed and are
based on type-A cable (see
Cable Type ). The length can be increased by the
use of repeaters.However, it is not recommended to use more than three
repeaters in series in a PROFIBUS network.

Overview of PROFIBUS Section 1-1
1-1-3 Device Types
PROFIBUS distinguishes between master devices and slave devices.
Master devices Master devices determine the data communication on the bus. A Master can
send messages without an external request, as long as it holds the bus
access right (the token). Masters are also referred to as active stations in the
PROFIBUS standard.
There are two types of master devices:
Class 1 Master (DPM1) A PROFIBUS-DP Class 1 Master (DPM1) device is a central controller, which
exchanges information with the decentralized stations (i.e. DP slaves) within a
specified message cycle.
Class 2 Master (DPM2) PROFIBUS-DP class 2 Master (DPM2) devices are programmers, configura-
tion devices or operator panels. They are used during commissioning, for con-
figuration of the DP system, or for operation and monitoring purposes.
The CS1W-PRM21 and the CJ1W-PRM21 are both PROFIBUS-DP Class 1
Master devices.
Slave devices Slave devices are peripheral devices. Typical slave devices include input/out-
put devices, valves, drives, and measuring transmitters. They do not have bus
access rights and they can only acknowledge received messages or send
messages to the master when requested to do so. Slaves are also called pas-
sive stations
Device profile To enable the exchange of devices from different vendors, the user data has
to have the same format. The PROFIBUS-DP protocol does not define the
format of user data, it is only responsible for the transmission of this data. The
format of user data may be defined in so called profiles. Profiles can reduce
engineering costs since the meaning of application-related parameters is
specified precisely. Profiles have been defined for specific areas like drive
technology, encoders, and for sensors / actuators.
1-1-4 Bus Access Protocol
OSI Layer 2: Bus access
protocol The PROFIBUS bus access protocol is implemented by OSI layer 2. This pro- tocol also includes data security and the handling of the transmission proto-
cols and messages.
Medium Access Control The Medium Access Control (MAC) specifies the procedures which determine
when a station is permitted to transmit data. A token passing procedure is
used to handle the bus access between master devices, and a polling proce-
dure is used to handle the communication between a master device and its
assigned slave device(s).
Token passing The token passing procedure guarantees that the bus access right (the token)
is assigned to each master within a precisely defined time frame. The token
message, a special message for passing access rights from one master to the
next master, must be passed around the logical token ring - once to each
master - within a specified target rotation time. Each master executes this pro-
cedure automatically. A user can only change the target rotation time, but is
not recommended.
Polling procedure The polling or master-slave procedure permits the master, currently in pos-
session of the token, to access its assigned slaves. The figure below shows a
possible configuration The configuration shows three active stations (mas-
ters) and six passive stations (slaves).

Overview of PROFIBUS Section 1-1
The three masters form a logical token ring. When an active station receives
the token message, it can perform its master role for a certain period of time.
During this time it can communicate with all assigned slave stations in a mas-
ter-slave communication relationship, and a DPM2 master can take the initia-
tive to communicate with DPM1 master stations in a master-master
communication relationship.
Multi-peer communication In addition to logical peer-to-peer data transmission, PROFIBUS-DP provides
multi-peer communication (broadcast and multicast).
Broadcast communication In the case of broadcast communication a master station sends an unac-
knowledged message to all other stations (masters and slaves).
Multicast communication In the case of multicast communication a master station sends an unacknow-
ledged message to a predetermined group of stations (masters and slaves).
1-1-5 Diagnostic functions
Extensive Diagnostics Extensive diagnostic functions defined in PROFIBUS-DP enable the fast loca-
tion of error at slave devices. Diagnostic messages are transmitted over the
bus and collected at the master. Three levels of diagnostic messages are
defined:
Device Related
Diagnostics • Messages concerning the general operational status of the whole device,
e.g. over temperature, low voltage.
Module Related
Diagnostics • Messages indicating that an error is present in a specific I/O range of a
station, e.g. an 8-bit output module.
Channel Related
Diagnostics • Messages indicating an error at a given input or output, e.g. short circuit
on Output 5.

1-1-6 Protection Mechanisms
Monitoring Time PROFIBUS-DP provides effective protection functions against parameteriza-
tion errors or failure of the transmission equipment. Time monitoring is pro-
vided both at the master and the slave devices. The monitoring interval is
specified when the system is configured.
Monitoring at the Master The PROFIBUS-DP Master monitors data transmission of the slaves with the
Data-Control-Timer. A separate control timer is used for each slave. This
timer expires if response data is not correctly transmitted by the slave within
the monitoring interval. The user is informed when this happens. If the auto-
matic error reaction (Auto-CLEAR) has been enabled, the PROFIBUS-DP
master exits its OPERATE state, switches the outputs of all assigned slaves
to the fail-safe status and changes to the CLEAR state.
Monitoring at the Slave Slave devices use a watchdog to detect failures of the master or the bus. If
data communication with the master does not occur within the set watchdog
time interval, a slave automatically switches its outputs to the fail-safe mode.
Also, access protection is provided for the inputs and outputs of the slaves
operating in multi-master systems. Only authorized masters can access their
slaves.
1-1-7 Network States
PROFIBUS-DP distinguishes four different network states:
OFF-LINE • Communication with all PROFIBUS-DP participants (masters and slaves)
is stopped. The Master ceases to access the PROFIBUS network.
STOP • Communication between the master and its slaves is stopped. Only com-
munication between the master and other masters is still possible.
CLEAR • The master tries to set parameters, check the configuration, and perform
data exchange with its associated slaves. Data exchange involves read-
ing the inputs of the PROFIBUS-DP slaves and writing zeros to the out-
puts of the slaves.
OPERATE • The master exchanges data with its assigned slaves, inputs are read and
outputs are written. Also, the master cyclically sends its local status to all
its assigned PROFIBUS-DP slaves (using a broadcast message).
Auto-CLEAR
Fail-safe State
If an error occurs during the data exchange phase of the master, the ‘Auto-
CLEAR’ function determines the subsequent actions. If this function has been
disabled, the master remains in the OPERATE state. If the function has been
enabled, the master automatically changes the network to the CLEAR state,
in which the outputs of the assigned PROFIBUS-DP slaves are switched to
zero, i.e. the ‘fail-safe’ state. The master continues to read the inputs of the
slaves.
