The DeltaV system supports the Profibus DP card, the Series 2 Profibus DP card in Simplex mode, and the Series 2 Plus Profibus DP card in Simplex and Redundant modes.
Profibus is an all digital, serial, bi-directional communication protocol that interconnects devices in the field. For information on installing Profibus devices, refer to the Profibus web site at www.profibus.com.
Installation Notes
- The Profibus terminal block is recommended to provide screw terminations for field wiring for the Profibus DP card and Series 2 Profibus DP card in Simplex mode.
- The Redundant Profibus DP terminal block is recommended to provide screw terminations for field wiring for the Series 2 Plus Profibus DP card in Redundant mode. Do not plug a simplex Profibus DP or Series 2 Profibus DP card into a Redundant Profibus DP terminal block. For simplex or redundant applications, when the termination is in the OUT position, pins 1 and 3 and 4 and 6 can be used. When the termination is in the IN position only pins 1 and 3 can be used.
