Overview
This chapter describes the following:
• system overview
• how the scanner interacts with the SLC processor
• how the scanner interacts with ProfiBus DP I/O modules

SST-PFB-SLC User’s Guide

2.1 System Overview
The SST-PFB-SLC is the ProfiBus scanner for the SLC 500. It enables
communication between a SLC processor (SLC 5/03 or later) and DP remote
I/O devices on a ProfiBus network. It acts as a ProfiBus DP remote I/O
scanner to scan up to 96 slaves. The scanner supports up to 244 bytes of input
data and 244 bytes of output data per slave.
If you use the SST ProfiBus Configuration Tool to configure the scanner, you
can have up to 1000 words of input data and 1000 words of output data.
If you use Siemens COM PROFIBUS to configure the scanner, it supports up
to 160 words of input data and 160 words of output datain total.
The scanner can reside in any slot in the local SLC chassis except slot 0
(reserved for the SLC processor). You can havemultiple scanners in the same
rack.
The scanner supports all standard ProfiBus baud rates (9600, 19200, 93.75k,
187.5k, 500k, 750k, 1.5M, 3M, 6M, 12M)
You configure the I/O on the DP network using either the SST ProfiBus
Configuration Tool or Siemens COM PROFIBUS configuration software.
The SST configuration tool exports the configuration to a*.bss file (binary),
while COM PROFIBUS exports the configuration to a *.2bf file (binary).
You upload the configuration to the scanner via the serial port on the scanner,
using an Xmodem transfer from any serial communications software.
The scanner stores this configuration in flash memory on the scanner so you
don’t need to upload the configuration every time you start the SLC.
The input and output data for the slaves is mapped into SLC I, O, M0 and M1
files. The mapping depends on the addresses you assign in the configuration
you create with either configuration tool.
The scanner does not require setting up a G file in the SLC. All the
configuration is done with the SST configuration tool or COM PROFIBUS.
The scanner maintains the following status information about the network
and the I/O modules on the network:
• slave status for each slave
• network diagnostic counters
• DP master diagnostic counters
• FDL diagnostic counters

Overview
9
The SLC processor scan and the scanner I/O scan are independent
(asynchronous) of each other.
The SLC processor reads the scanner input data during its input scan and
writes the output data during its output scan. The scanner continues reading
input data from the slaves and writing output data to the slaves independent of
what the SLC is doing.
The scanner module can also act as a DP slave to another DP master on the
same network. It supports up to 122 words of input data and 122 words of
output data as a slave. Up to 32 words of data can be configured to be in the
input and output files. With the SST ProfiBus Configuration Tool, up to 1000
words of data can be configured in the M0 and M1 files. With COM
PROFIBUS, up to 122 words of data can be configured in the M0 and M1
files.
The scanner supports up to four FDL SAPs and up to four FDL message
blocks.
Caution
this equipment is neither designed for, nor intended for use in
installations where it is subject to hazardous voltages and
hazardous currents.

2.2.1 LEDs
There are two LEDs on the scanner, the SYS LED and the COMM LED.
The SYS LED indicates overall status of scanner operations.
The COMM LED indicates communication status.
Refer to section 4.3, Status LEDs, in this manual for more detailed
information.
2.2.2 9-pin ProfiBus connector
The 9-pin ProfiBus connector connects the scanner to the ProfiBus network.
2.2.3 Configuration port
Use the configuration port to upload I/O configurationsexported from the
SST ProfiBus Configuration Tool or Siemens COM PROFIBUS to the
scanner.
