Using a PROFIBUS Host
5.1 Overview
This chapter provides basic information for using a PROFIBUS host with the Model 2400S DP
transmitter. The following topics are discussed:
• Support files – see Section 5.2
• Connecting to the Model 2400S DP transmitter from a PROFIBUS host – see Section 5.3
• Using a PROFIBUS host with the GSD – see Section 5.4
• Using a PROFIBUS host with the device description (EDD) – see Section 5.5
• Using PROFIBUS bus parameters – see Section 5.6
5.2 Support files
The following files are available for use with the Model 2400S DP transmitter:
•
MMI0A60.GSD – enables:
- Viewing process data and alarms
- Managing totalizers and inventories
- Accepting external pressure or temperature data for use in pressure or temperature
compensation
• Device description (EDD) – enables all of the above, plus:
- Configuration functionality
- Viewing event status
- Acknowledging alarms
- Performing zero and density calibration
- Performing meter verification
The GSD can be downloaded from the Micro Motion web site (
www.micromotion.com), and can be
used with any compatible PROFIBUS host. The EDD can be downloaded from the Micro Motion web
site, and has been certified to work with Siemens Simatic PDM.
Set up the GSD or EDD using the method appropriate to your PROFIBUS host.
5.3 Connecting to the Model 2400S DP transmitter
To connect to the Model 2400S DP transmitter:
1. The transmitter automatically detects and uses the DP segment baud rate. If no baud rate is
detected, the transmitter does not attempt communication.
