Appendix VII
Bus Termination
Power Demands
The maximum number of devices that can be connected to a bus line depends on their
current consumption and the respective application conditions. When operating in an
area where there is no risk of explosion, the couplers/links can feed up to 400 mA into the
bus.
When operating in explosion risk areas, the intrinsic safety is only guaranteed when the
maximum power fed into the bus does not exceed certain voltage and current values.
These are normally:
Current I
S
< 128 mA, voltage U
0
< 15 V
The number of devices which can be connected to a bus line is determined by finding
the combined maximum current consumption of all the connected devices (10 mA for
the SITRANS LR 300). Plan to allow a current reserve for safety.
Cyclic versus Acyclic Data
When you request data from a device via Profibus PA, you have two choices. Cyclic data
is provided at every bus scan: acyclic data is requested and provided as needed.
Input and output information is always requested at every bus scan and is set up as cyclic
data. Configuration information is only needed periodically and is set up as acyclic data.
Cyclic Data
When you configure the SITRANS LR 300 on the Profibus PA bus, there are 4 slots
available for modules.
Slot 0 always transmits Level information; slot 1 always Space information; slot 2 always
Distance information, and slot 3 always Volume information. If you do not wish to have
data transmitted, then you must use a Free Place module in that slot.
WARNING: Profibus PA MUST be terminated at both extreme ends
of the cable for it to work properly. Please refer to the Profibus PA
User and Installation Guidelines (order number 2.092), available
from www.profibus.com
WARNING: Only certified supply units (DP/PA couplers or DP/PA
links) may be used to feed the intrinsically safe PROFIBUS. See the
EC Type Examination Certificate for requirements.
Note: Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it.
