2. ABOUT PROFIBUS PA 2-1
All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2006, Rota Yokogawa IM 01R01B02-01E-E 5th edition October 01, 2020 -00
2. About PROFIBUS PA
2.1 Outline
PROFIBUS is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V., Karlsruhe, Germany.
PROFIBUS is a manufacturer-independent and open eldbus communication protocol based on the interna-
tional standards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784. It covers a wide range of applications in manufacturing and
process control systems. Probus PA is a bi-directional digital communication protocol for eld devices, which
offers an advancement in implementation technologies for process control systems and is widely employed
by numerous eld devices.
RAMC PROFIBUS communication type employs the specication standardized by the PNO, and provides
interoperability between Yokogawa devices and those produced by other manufacturers.
2.2 Internal Structure of RAMC PROFIBUS PA
RAMC contains three function blocks which are implemented in accordance with Prole 3.02.
(1) Physical block
• Manages the status of RAMC hardware.
• Automatically informs the host of any detected faults or other problems.
(2) Transducer block
• Converts sensor output to ow rate signal and transfers to AI function block.
(3) AI function block
• Conditions raw data from the Transducer block.
• Outputs ow rate signals.
• Carries out scaling extraction.

3.1 Wiring System Conguration
The number of devices that can be connected to a single bus and the cable length vary depending on
system design. When constructing systems, both the basic and overall design must be carefully considered
to allow device performance to be fully exhibited.
3.2 Connection of Devices
The following instruments are required for use with PROFIBUS PA devices:
• Terminator:
PROFIBUS PA requires two terminators at the end of the segment
•SegmentCoupler:
PROFIBUS PA requires the segment coupler which adopts to the RS-485 signals to the IEC 61158-2
signal level.
• Fielddevices:
Connect RAMC PROFIBUS PA communication type. Two or more RAMC devices or other devices can
be connected.
• Master:
Used for accessing eld devices. A dedicated master (such as DCS or PLC) is used for an instrumentation
line while dedicated communication tools are used for experimental purposes. For operation of the
master, refer to the instruction manual for each master. No details of the master are explained in the
rest of this manual.
• Cable:
NOTE
The PROFIBUS specication must be regarded.
Two-core twisted and shielded cables are recommended, otherwise the EMC-requirements for
industrial ow meters can not be guaranteed.
EN 50170 species two types of bus cables. For transmission rates up to 1.5 Mbit/s, cable type A is
recommended.

Grounding:
1) Device
2) Cable shield on bus side
3) Cable shield on transmitter side recommended
3)2)
1)
It is recommended to connect the shield on both
sides to ground. Compensation currents on ground
lines must be avoided. Therefore the shield may be
connected to ground on one side (e.g. in control
cubicle) via capacitor to ground.
The potential equalization must be connected
to the ow meter.
If the shield is only connected on supply side,
reduction of EMC immunity is possible.
NOTE
In case of insufficient cable shielding and
grounding, degrading of EMC immunity is
possible.

4.1 Integration of GSD
PROFIBUS PA system requires GSD le which describes the device parameters such as the transmission
rate supported, input, output data, data format and data length.
The GSD les described below are available to RAMC.
You can download the GSD le from http://www.probus.com/products/gsd-les/.
Table 4.1 GSD les
GSD le name Ident. Number Comment

4.2 Important Device Settings
The tables below show items (parameters) which need special care to ensures a proper working of the
RAMC Probus type.
Table 4.1 General settings
Item Settings
Bus address Set to 0x7E (126) by default unless otherwise specied when ordered
In case of unit change (compared to initial ordering) it is recommended to change the OUT_SCALE parameter
as described in table 4.3 only. Change of the Process Variable needs in addition the changes described in
the tables 4.2 and 4.3.
Table 4.2 Initial settings of Transducer Block
Item Settings for Volume ow Settings for Mass ow
Parameter: VOLUME_FLOW_UNITS Choose unit (initially set to unit specied
when ordered)
Not active 1("Volume ow passivated")
Parameter: MASS_FLOW_UNITS Not active 1 ("Mass ow passivated") Choose unit (initially set to unit specied
when ordered)
NOTE
Change of the parameters VOLUME_FLOW_UNITS to MASS_FLOW_UNITS or vice versa needs in
addition the adaptation of the parameter CHANNEL inside the AI block, to make the change effective on
the OUT parameter.

4.3 Cyclic Data Exchange
The RAMC is preset in factory and should work after integration into the system. In case of parameter
adjustment the items described in former section need special care to ensure cyclic data exchange.
The OUT parameter transfers Value and Status of the device.
NOTE
The parameters OUT_SCALE and PV_SCALE need reconguration in case of:
• Factory Reset
• Unit change of the Process Variable (PV)
4.4 Setting of Write Protection
A write protection is a function to forbid changing of parameters. It is possible to set the software write
protection by the Physical Block parameter WRITE_LOCKING. When WRITE_LOCKING is "0: Lock", the
status of write protect becomes protected mode. When WRITE_LOCKING is "2457: Disabled", the status
becomes unprotected mode.
4.5 Using the Keys
In PA devices there is no local operating menu available.
Pressing the "arrow up" button the indication can be changed between ow, totalizer and temperature.
Factory default is totalizer.
Pressing the "arrow right" button an error indication appears on display.
• 00000000 or
• 00000000
A detailed explanation see chapter 6.
