1.1 Functions and Characteristics of the PA912 Module
The PA912 is the module to connect the Unified Controller "nv series" and the
PRO IBUS slave device by PRO IBUS network.
The PRO IBUS was developed by Siemens AG, and has been regarded as a
global standard network.
The PRO IBUS approved by the Deutsche Industrie Norman (DIN19245) and the
European Norm (EN50170), followed by the international standard IEC-61158.
At the practical application level, the PRP IBUS is widely used in Europe, North
America and other regions with more than 1,100 companies participating in the
users group as well as approximately 300 vendors providing about 2,000 types
of products. The PRO IBUS has three protocols, "DP", " MS", "PA". The PA912
supports the "DP" protocol, because "DP" protocol is most widely used and has a
specification of most high speed performance, efficiency, and connected cost.
The PA912 can configure transmission paths with twisted pair cables.
Characteristics of the PA912 module
· PROFIBUS-DP DP-V0 protocol version compliance
Connected to the PRO IBUS as the master module, the PA912 can control
PRO IBUS slave I/O devices.
· Relay to TC-net I/O loop
The PA912 relays input/output data of PRO IBUS slave I/O devices to the
TC-net I/O loop. It enables high speed cyclic data transmission.
· Fast trans er
ast data transfer is possible because PRO IBUS bus I/O data are directly
transferred with the dedicated transmission gate arrays.
· High reliability
PRO IBUS I/O data is subjected to data check and error correction based on
ECC, thus providing a highly reliable data transfer.
CAUTION
To use PA912 module as a duplexed module is
not
available.
Mandatory
CAUTION
or the slave I/O setting of PA912 PRO IBUS, use

CAUTION
TC-net I/O loop with PA912 should be a single loop
configuration. When using Unified Controller type1
or Unified Controller type2 with PA912, set the “
I/O

1.1.1 Cyclic transmission
As the PRO IBUS master module, the PA912 module controls slave I/O devices
(input and output devices) connected via the PRO IBUS. The PA912 is
controlled by the nv controller. The nv controller and the PA912 are connected
via the TC-net I/O loop, and they have a virtually shared memory area called
"common memory". When the output information is set in the common memory
by the nv controller, the information is outputted to the PRI IBUS slave output
devices via the TC-net I/O loop. Similarly, the input information to the slave
input devices is inputted in the nv controller common memory via the PA912
and the TC-net I/O loop.

1.1.2 pecifying medium/high speed TC-net I/O loop scan
"Medium speed" and "high speed" is available as the TC-net I/O loop scan
transmission speed. When a short response time is required between the
controller and the slave I/O devices, the response speed between the slave I/O
devices and the nv controller can be enhanced by setting the slave I/O devices
to "high speed".
Input and output areas of the slave I/O devices process data (cyclic data) are
both divided into high speed area (first half) and medium speed area (latter
half) by 128 byte sizes. The high speed area (first half) is allocated for high
speed transmission of the TC-net I/O loop, and the medium speed area (latter
half) is allocated for medium speed transmission. Thus, a relation is
established by setting the input and output addresses of the slave I/O devices
in the high speed area (first half) or the medium speed area (latter half).
The input and output areas for the slave I/O devices process data (cyclic data)
can be specified as the high speed or medium speed area via the nV-Tool by
using a module parameter "High-speed scan byte size (input/output)" of the
PA912-M/PA912-NM module. The setting method is described in "Chapter 3:
Setting."
It should be noted that the RAS information is fixedly set to medium speed.

1.1.3 Transmission operation upon error
When the controller is failed to operate properly or an error is detected on the
TC-net I/O loop, one of the following three output modes can be specified as
the output operation for the PRO IBUS slave I/O devices. The transmission
operation upon error can be specified via the nV-Tool by using a module
parameter "Transmission operation at emg." of the PA912-M/PA912-NM module.
The setting method is described in "Chapter 3: Setting."
