Integrating Remote I/O Stations with Com Unit LB/FB8X 9* / LB/FB8X 5*
1. Introduction
This document is intended as an aid for commissioning an LB or FB remote I/O
station with Unicom com unit LB/FB8X 9 (≙
≙≙
≙ LB81 9 or FB82 9) or type
LB/FB8X 5 (≙
≙≙
≙ LB81 5 or FB82 5) com units that are to be connected to a
Siemens LC via ROFIBUS D .
Comprehensive documentation can be found in your com unit manual.
Com unit LB/FB8X06 can only be operated with the GSD file. It will not be described
further here. Commissioning instructions can be found at http://www.pepperl-
fuchs.de/germany/de/classid_259.htm
2. Preparing for Configuration
To enable the smooth integration of the LB/FB remote I/O system, the following
preparatory work must first be completed (section 2.1-2.3).
2.1. Downloading the GSD Files
Visit www.pepperl-fuchs.com to download the required GSD files for LB/FB
systems. Enter the com unit being used (LB81 9, FB82 9, LB81 5, or
FB82 5) into the search field on the right-hand side of the website and start
the search (see Fig. 1).
Figure 1: Searching for GSD files by entering the com unit
Now select the listed com unit. Selecting the "Software" button takes you to
the part of the page where the GSD files can be downloaded.
The GSD files for corresponding com units from the LB and FB systems are
identical. It is therefore irrelevant whether the GSD files are downloaded from
the LB8109 or FB8209 web page.
Unzip the file in a directory of your choice. The "Master arameterization"
section can be accessed in the unzipped .gsd file.

2.2. Installing PACTware and Microsoft .NET
The PACTware FDT container is required for Unicom com units
(LB/FB8X 9) and type LB/FB8X 5 com units. The ACTware installation
file can be downloaded from www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Search for the term
"pactware" using the search field according to the procedure described in
chapter 2.1. The current version can then be downloaded by clicking on the
green "Download" button (see Fig. 4).
Figure 3: Downloading PACTware
The installation is performed by running the downloaded .exe file.
If a prompt to install the "Microsoft .NET Framework" appears during the
installation routine, the installer for this can be found by entering "microsoft
.net" into the search field at www.pepperl-fuchs.com. This can then be
installed once the download has finished (see Fig. 5).

2.3. Installing the Device Drivers (DTM Collection)
In addition to the ACTware FDT container, LB/FB 8X09 / LB/FB8X05 Com
Units require the correct device drivers (DTM). Visit www.pepperl-fuchs.com
again and enter the term "dtm lb/fb" in the search field. The DTM Collection
can be downloaded by clicking the green "Download" button (see Fig. 6).
Figure 5: Downloading Microsoft .Net
Once the download is complete, run the application and follow the installation
instructions.
If an older version of the DTM is already installed on your computer, select the
option "Remove" when prompted during the installation routine and then install
the DTM Collection again (see Fig. 7).
Figure 6: Removing an older version of the DTM prior to installing the new version
Once you have reached the point at which you can select the elements to be
installed, select all elements (by checking the appropriate box for each of the
elements) and then continue with the installation.

3. Configuration of the PROFIBUS Master
The following sections will describe the parameterization of the LC,
which acts as the master in the current system configuration. The
procedure described relates to the use of a Siemens SIMATIC S7-
300.
For master parameterization, a connection must be established
between the C and the LC This can be done using a SIMATIC C
adapter (M I-USB adapter) (see Fig. 7).
The Simatic Manager is required to perform the
following actions.
3.1. Preparing the Simatic Manager
1. Start the Simatic Manager.
2. In the Simatic Manager, open the project in which the remote I/O station is
to be added.
3. If not already available, add a SIMATIC 300 station (due to the use of the
SIMATIC S7-3 ):
4. Open the HW Config by double-clicking on "Hardware":
5. In the HW Config, create your control system with the corresponding C U
and a ROFIBUS connection.

3.3. Configuring the Remote I/O Station
1. In the HW Config, add your com unit to your project by dragging and
dropping it on to the PROFIBUS line. This is located on the right in the
folder structure under PROFIBUS-DP → Additional FIELD DEVICES → I/O
→ "LB/FB 8X 5H/DPV1 V6" for com units LB81 5 and FB82 5 or "LB/FB
8X 9 Remote I/O 2" for com units LB81 9 and FB82 9. Now enter the
desired PROFIBUS address and confirm this window and the following
window with OK:
This creates an empty station with the corresponding ROFIBUS address.
The modules are now added as follows:
2. Click on the com unit to select it. You will now see a table for the various
components of the I/O station underneath the graphic representation of
your project:
Drag and drop

GETTING STARTED
Integrating Remote I/O Stations with Com Unit LB/FB8X 9* / LB/FB8X 5*
3. Add the modules located on your remote I/O station to the table using the
drag and drop function. The modules can be found on the right-hand side
in the folder structure below your com unit. Enter the desired address
range for the inserted modules and then confirm with OK:
The examples on pages 11 and 12 illustrate the arrangement of the
modules.
The following rules must be observed when adding modules:
a) For the com unit, it is recommended that the "COM: Command + Status+
Module Status" module is added in slot 1. Note the overview "Various
Com Unit Configurations" on page 1 .
b) Add empty slots ("Empty slot" module):
o In the case of redundant LB backplanes, exactly two empty slots must
be added after the com unit (both when the redundancy is used and not
used).
o For double-width modules, an empty slot must be added after the
module itself.
Exception: No empty slot is added if the last module in the
configuration is a double-width module
o An empty slot is added for each unoccupied slot on the backplane.
c) No more empty slots are added after the last added module. You can
continue with the "Loading Hardware Data onto the CPU" section.
d) Power supplies are not added. No empty slot is added.
e) For the FB system: Termination modules are not added. No empty slot
is added.
f) In the case of LB/FB3X 2 and LB/FB3X 3 modules, the "3X 2/3 HART
isolation amplifier" module is usually added.
In the case of the LB/FB1X 3 module, a decision must be made,
depending on the present application, as to which of the four modules
available in the Simatic Manager is added.

Various Com Unit Configurations
There are various com unit configurations in the Simatic Manager. The selected
configuration must correspond with the settings of the cyclic data traffic of the com
unit in ACTware. Depending on which com unit configuration has been selected in
the Simatic Manager, the appropriate box must be checked in ACTware (see table
below):

Special Considerations in the Case of Redundancy
In the case of line redundancy
Configuration is performed in the same way as when the redundancy is not used.
Your com unit is added, followed by two empty slots due to the redundant LB
backplane (e.g., LB 9022).
The configuration of the I/O modules follows the two empty slots.
No second com unit is added to the configuration list, although it is physically
plugged into the backplane.
In the case of line redundancy, no additional configuration is
necessary. The line redundant slave is not configured from the master view.
In the case of application redundancy (two masters)
Configuration is performed in the same way as when the redundancy is not used.
Your com unit is added, followed by two empty slots due to the redundant LB
backplane (e.g., LB 9022).
The configuration of the I/O modules follows the two empty slots.
No second com unit is added to the configuration list, although it is physically
plugged into the backplane.
Another station with the same configuration is then created on your redundant
ROFIBUS line.
You can copy the created station and add it to your redundant ROFIBUS line.
An example of a configuration of an LB backplane populated with non-
redundant modules can be found in the image below.

4. Configuration of the PROFIBUS Slave
Unicom com units (LB/FB 8X09) and type LB/FB8X05 com units must be
parameterized via PACTware. Before carrying out the following instructions, ensure
that ACTware and the DTM Collection have been installed correctly (see section 2).
The following description relates to ACTware version 4.1.
Two different ways to configure the remote I/O station are described below:
Via PROFIBUS using a PROFIBUS class 2 master (e.g., Softing
PROFIusb)
Via the service bus interface using a USB-RS485 converter (e.g., ICPCON
i-7561) with a suitable cable set (for LB item no. 541037, for FB item no.
541038)
referably, the configuration should be performed using a ROFIBUS class 2
master, as this offers a high transfer rate.
Depending on which of the two options is chosen, continue with the
corresponding section:
Via PROFIBUS using a PROFIBUS class 2 master: Section 4.1
Via the service bus interface using a USB-RS485 converter: Section 4.2

4.1. Configuration via PROFIBUS Using a PROFIBUS Class 2
Master
The following section describes the connection of the PROFIBUS class 2 master
(e.g., Softing ROFIusb). Note whether your remote I/O station is an LB or FB
system:
Connect your C directly to the bus line via the class 2 master (either to the
backplane [in the case of an LB system only]—here the interface is marked
with X4—or to the LC).
The class 2 master that is used requires the appropriate driver software. This
is usually installed automatically after the class 2 master is connected. In the
case of the Softing ROFIusb, this is included in the delivery. If necessary, the
driver can be subsequently obtained from the Download Center:
http://industrial.softing.com/en/downloads.html
Once the appropriate driver has been installed and the selected component
has been connected, the parameterization of the remote I/O station using
ACTware can be continued.

1. on Interface → Disconnect to ensure that the connection to the
previously added interface is disconnected.
2. on the Interface and select Add device to add the com unit being used:
3. When prompted, enter the "Station Address". This is the PROFIBUS
address of the com unit. This must match the specification in the
PLC. The ROFIBUS address of the com unit is preconfigured to 126 for
delivery.
How to determine and change the ROFIBUS address of the com unit is
described in the FAQs (section 6.3).
Please skip the following section and continue with section "4.3
Parameterizing Com Units".
In this case, the PROFIBUS address of the
com unit was previously changed from 126
to 117. 117 must therefore also be specified
in the PLC and PACTware.

4.2. Configuration via Service Bus Using a USB-RS485 Converter
The connection of the USB-RS485 converter (e.g. IC CON i-7561) is shown
below. Note whether your remote I/O station is an LB or FB system:
Connect your C to the service bus interface on the backplane via the USB-
RS485 converter. This interface is marked with X6 on LB backplanes. In the
case of FB backplanes, the cable set should be connected to the backplane
using terminals X2.3 (Data -) and X2.4 (Data +) or terminals 12/13 and 7/8.
When connecting, note the information from the housing guide for your FB
system.
The USB-RS485 converter that is used requires the appropriate driver
software. This is usually installed automatically after the USB-RS485 converter
is connected. For the IC CON I-7561, this is included in the delivery. If
necessary, the driver can be subsequently obtained from
http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/i-7000/i-7561.htm.
Once the appropriate driver has been installed and the selected component
has been connected, the parameterization of the remote I/O station using
ACTware can be continued.
