2 Model 2700 Transmitter with PROFIBUS-PA
Before You Begin
1.4 PROFIBUS-PA functionality
The transmitter supports the following methods of configuration and operation:
• Configuration methods:
- Device description (EDD) for use with a PROFIBUS configuration tool such as Siemens
®
Simatic
®
Process Device Manager (PDM). In this manual, the term “EDD” is used to refer
to this type of configuration.
- Direct read and write of PROFIBUS-PA bus parameters.
• Operation methods:
- GSD file with a PROFIBUS host. The transmitter supports two GSD options—
Profile-specific, which is created by PNO, and Manufacturer-specific, which is created by
by Micro Motion in order to implement a larger set of function blocks. See Section 2.5 for
more information about the two GSD options.
In this manual, the term “host” or “PROFIBUS host” is used to refer to this type of
operation.
- Device description (EDD) with PROFIBUS configuration tool (e.g., Simatic PDM). The
EDD provides a superset of the operational functionality of the GSD, plus configuration
capability.
• Identification and maintenance (I&M) functions:
-I&M 0
-I&M 1
-I&M 2
-PA I&M 0
The transmitter supports both classic and condensed status byte formats.
• Classic mode conforms to the PROFIBUS-PA Profile v3.01, Section 3.7.3.6.
• Condensed mode conforms to the PROFIBUS-PA Specification June 2005 Amendment 2 to
the PROFIBUS Profile v3.01, Condensed Status and Diagnostic Messages v1.0.
1.5 Determining version information
Table 1-1 lists the version information you may need to know and describes how to obtain the
information. This manual assumes transmitter firmware v3.2 or a later version and ProLink v2.92
with the Build 9827 patch or a later version.
Note: The hardware for transmitters with v2.0 and lower firmware is incompatible with the hardware
needed to support v3.0 and later firmware. To upgrade from an earlier firmware version to v3.0 or
higher firmware requires hardware replacement.
