Cable
Profibus cables are shielded twisted-pair copper cables which differ from each other in the type of
wire (fixed/flexible) and/or sheath. The two inner cores of a Profibus cable have green and red
insulation. The specifications in this chapter are primarily intended to provide a general introduction
and describe the cable properties to be considered (see also IEC 61784-5-3). A Profibus wiring guide
can be found at: http://verwertraining.com/wp-content/uploads/InstallationGuideV9_2.pdf
The cable must conform to the following specifications:
Impedance: 150 Ohm (nominal) at frequencies from 3 to 20 MHz.
Cable capacitance: < 30 pF per meter.
Core diameter: > 0.34 mm², corresponds to AWG 22.
Cable type: twisted pair cable. 1x2 or 2x2 or 1x4 lines.
Resistance: < 110 Ohm per km.
Signal attenuation: max. 9 dB over total length of line section.
Shielding: CU shielding braid or shielding braid and shielding foil.
Max. Bus length: 200 m at 1500 Kbit/s, up to 1.2 km at 93.75 Kbit/s.
Termination
The Profibus physical layer is based on RS-485, and therefore termination resistors are needed at both
ends of the network. Many Profibus DB 9 connectors have built-in switchable terminators that can be
powered from the Profibus DP. The schematic below shows the internal wiring of a terminator:
Status LEDS
The interface has two multi-color LEDs mounted on top of the enclosure to indicate the status.
The left LED is used to show the status of the interface the right LED shows the network status.

Slave Address
The Profibus DP slave address of the interface can be set. Default instruments will be delivered with
slave address 126 (all DIP switches to off). This address has been agreed by the PROFIBUS
organization to be free for installing new devices to the bus. Changing the station address is done in
two ways, either through a dip switch or through the master.
Dip Switch
The dip switch is located on the right side of the interface. Remove the cover to expose the switch:
The dip switch is binary encoded with the LSB (lowest bit) on the left side. The switch is only read
during power-up.
LSB
MSB

10
The switch becomes active when the slider is moved upwards. Here some examples of some addresses
(1 = on/up, 0 = off/down):
Address
ID
Dip Switch #
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1
1|0|0|0|0|0|0|0
14
0|1|1|1|0|0|0|0
60
0|0|1|1|1|1|0|0
125
1|0|1|1|1|1|1|0
Note: An address set with the dip switch has the highest priority and the slave address will use this
address when powering up!
Server Assigned Address
It is possible to change the address of the unit through the server. Perform the following steps to
change the address:
1. Assign a new address from the server
2. Set the dip switch to 128 (pin 8 on) or higher.
The assigned address will be used each time that the unit is powered.
Set Address (126)
It is possible to force the address of the unit to 126. Set the dip switch to zero and power cycle the unit.
The address is set to 126. The address can be changed by the Master if needed. Do keep in mind that if
the dip switch remains set to zero, the address will be set to 126 at each power-up.

Chapter 4: Sycon software
Sycon is a tool for the configuration of a Fieldbus network using a Hilscher CIF50-PB master. You
may be using a different configuration software and hardware Master, however, you will need to
accomplish the same functions. No specific slave DTMs of the Profibus DP are available.
Online diagnostic indicators and auto-scan function for the reading of network participants assist in the
commissioning of the network.
This guide will explain step by step how to configure the system to support various Profibus slaves on
a Hilscher CIF50-PB master.
Before starting make sure that the necessary device description files (GSD and bit maps) are available
in your device catalog. These are available on our web site.
Import Device Description (GSD) Files
In order to use a fieldbus device its properties need to be added to the CIF50-PB Master. This is done
by importing the device description files (GSD) into Sycon.
Start Sycon and create a new document (File -> New)
A dialog window appears asking to select a fieldbus. For this example select Profibus:
The main window is loaded. Go to the file menu and select “Copy GSD”:

16
Locate the desired GSD file and load it. You will also be prompted to “import the corresponding
bitmap files”, click Yes. Load all 3 bitmap files. The GSD data is added to the Sycon library but it
isn’t available yet. Quit the program and restart it to refresh the catalog.
Configure A Slave
Create A New Document And Insert A Master:
Place the master at the top of the line. A dialog window appears where a master needs to be selected
from a list. The list shows every type of master supported by Sycon. Select the Profibus master which
has been installed on the PC:
Add master here

17
Leave the station address set to zero. Press the “Add” button and then the “OK” button.
A window pops up showing the driver linked to the selected master. Press “Yes” to use the hardware.
Note: The board ID number changes when extra PCI cards are added to the PC. Older configurations
must be checked before trying to run them.
Auto Addressing
The master needs to be set to auto addressing.
1. Click on the master and from the file menu select “Settings -> Master configuration”:
2. Make sure the “Auto addressing” is checked:

18
Insert a Slave To The System
1. File menu: Insert -> Slave. Place it below the master:
2. Set the slave filter to “Sierra Instruments Inc.”Select the desired GSD file, press the “Add”
button, set the slave address and description to match the slave and press the “OK” button.
Add slave here

19
Note: If no slave device appears in the window then the GSD file hasn’t been copied into the Sycon
catalog.
3. Double click on the added slave in the main window. The slave configuration window
appears:
4. Select the desired modules by double clicking on the module name. Press the “OK” button.
Download Configuration
The configuration needs to be downloaded to the master (Online -> Download):

20
A pop-up may appear warning you that the communication may stop:
Press “Yes” to continue. The data is downloaded to the master:
When done save the new configuration to disk (File -> save as). Put the .pb file where your server can
get it later. The system is ready to be used.
