SPECIFICATIONS
Part No.: IS220PPRFH1A
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States(USA)
Product Type: PROFIBUS Master Gateway Pack
Series: Mark VIe
IS220PPRFH1A is a PROFIBUS Master Gateway pack developed by GE. The PROFIBUS Master Gateway (PPRF) pack is a PROFIBUS DPV0, Class 1 master that maps I/O from PROFIBUS slave devices to I/O Ethernet Mark VIe controllers. The module includes a processor board shared by all Mark VIe distributed I/O modules and an acquisition carrier board outfitted with a Hilscher GmbH COM-C PROFIBUS communication module.
IS220PPRFH1A Functional Description
- A PROFIBUS RS-485 interface is provided by the COM-C module via a DE-9 D-sub receptacle connector. It functions as a PROFIBUS DP master, with transmission rates ranging from 9.6 KBaud to 12 MBaud and up to 125 slaves, each with 244 bytes of inputs and outputs.
- Other IO packs use the same dual I/O Ethernet connection configuration. In the hot-backup mode, however, two PPRFs are used, one as the active PROFIBUS master communicating with slave devices and the other in a passive, stand-by mode, ready to become the active master in the event of an active master failure.
Features
The following redundancy options are supported by the PPRF:
- One I/O pack with one Ethernet connection (no redundancy)
- Dual I/O Ethernet connections on a single I/O pack
- Dual I/O Ethernet connections on the hot-backup I/O pack
Compatibility
- The PROFIBUS Master Gateway Terminal board (SPIDG1A) is used to install the PPRF and provide an electronic ID. Its only connection is to the PPRF, as the PROFIBUS connection is made to the DE-9 D-sub receptacle connector exposed on the PPRF's side. On the PPRF, indicator LEDs provide visual diagnostics.
- The number of I/O packs used in a signal path is referred to as the control mode:
- Simplex employs a single I/O pack and one or two network connections.
- Hot backup employs two I/O packs, each with two network connections.
IS220PPRFH1A Installation
- Firmly secure the SPID terminal board.
- Insert the PPRF directly into the terminal board connector. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with a second SPID and PPRF for hot-backup configurations.
- Use the threaded inserts next to the Ethernet ports to mechanically secure the packs. The inserts connect to a terminal board-specific mounting bracket. Adjust the bracket so that no right angle force is applied to the DC-37 pin connector between the pack and the terminal board. This adjustment is required only once during the product's lifetime.
- Depending on the system configuration, connect one or two Ethernet cables. The pack can be used with either port. Standard practice is to connect ENET1 to the network associated with the R controller when using dual connections; however, the PPRF is not sensitive to Ethernet connections and will negotiate proper operation over either port.
- Insert the PROFIBUS cable into the DE-9 D-sub receptacle connector and secure it. PROFIBUS must be terminated on either end, according to PROFIBUS specifications.
- Connect power to the connector on the pack's side. It is not necessary to insert the connector with the cable's power disconnected. The PPRF includes an inherent soft-start capability that regulates current inrush during power application.
- Configure the I/O pack and PROFIBUS as needed using the ToolboxST application.
