Safety
Safety
Safety of personnel When working inside the controller it is necessary to be aware of voltage related risks. A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts: Units inside the controller, for example I/O units can be supplied with power from an external source. The mains supply/mains switch. The power unit. The power supply unit for the computer system (230 VAC). The rectifier unit (400-480 VAC and 700 VDC). Capacitors! The drive unit (700 VDC). The service outlets (115/230 VAC). The power supply unit for tools, or special power supply units for the machining process. The external voltage connected to the controller remains live even when the robot is disconnected from the mains. Additional connections.
Therefore, it is important that all safety regulations are followed when doing mechanical and electrical installation work. Safety regulations Before beginning mechanical and/or electrical installations, make sure you are familiar with the safety regulations described in Product manual IRC5, M2004.

2 Overview
2.1. PROFIBUS, general
What is PROFIBUS? PROFIBUS is a vendor independent open fiel bus standard for a wide range of applications, particulary in the fields of factory and process automation. PROFIBUS is suitable for high-speed time critical applications as well as for complex communication tasks. PROFIBUS specification The PROFIBUS communication is specified in the international standard IEC 61158 Type 3, which includes the entire range of PROFIBUS versions. PROFIBUS versions PROFIBUS has a modular design and different PROFIBUS versions are all combinations of modular elements from the groups transmission technology, communication protocol and application profiles. Here are some examples of PROFIBUS versions: PROFIBUS-DP - optimized for factory automation PROFIBUS PA - optimized for process automation PROFIsafe - PROFIBUS for safety-related systems PROFIdrive - PROFIBUS for motion control
Communication protocols DP (Decentralized Periphery) is the simple, fast, cyclic and deterministic communication protocol between a bus master and the assigned slaves. The forerunner of DP was FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification), which is obsolete today. The original version of DP called DP-V0 has been expanded to DP-V1, and it provides acyclic data exchange between master and slave. A further version DP-V2 offers direct slaveto-slave data exchange with an isochronous bus cycle.

2.2. PROFIBUS, IRC5

Hardware overview The hardware of the PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus consists of a master/slave unit, DSQC 637, and distributed I/O units (called slave units). DSQC 637 unit The DSQC 637 unit is connected to the PCI bus of the IRC5 robot controller. The slave units are attached to the fieldbus network. The DSQC 637 unit supports PROFIBUS-DP with DPV0, which means that DP-V1 and DP-V2 are not supported. The slave part of the DSQC 637 unit is normally controlled by an external master on a separate PROFIBUS-DP network. This network is a different one than the network holding the slave units for the master part of the board. Slave units The slave units can be I/O units with digital and/or analog signals. They are all controlled via the master part of the DSQC 637 unit.

3 PROFIBUS-DP Master/Slave hardware

3.1.1. DSQC 637 PROFIBUS-DP master/slave

3.1 Hardware description 3.1.1. DSQC 637 PROFIBUS-DP master/slave
Description The DSQC 637 is a circuit board normally mounted in the controller. The PROFIBUS-DP M/S unit has both a master and a slave channel on the same unit. The master channel is used to communicate with I/O units within the robot cell and the slave channel is used to communicate with the robot controller from a master PLC. The master channel and the slave channel are physically separated. Installation and configuration For installation instructions for PROFIBUS, see the PROFIBUS specification, IEC 61158 Type 3. See also the Installation Guideline for PROFIBUS-DP/FMS published by the user organization of PROFIBUS (PNO). Instructions on how to configure the PROFIBUS network for the master and the slave channel are found in the chapterPROFIBUS-DP Master/Slave configuration on page 27. Typical applications An example of how the DSQC 637 may be connected is illustrated in section The PROFIBUS-DP network on page 15.

Termination To reduce the reflections on the data lines it is very important that both ends of the PROFIBUS network are terminated according to PROFIBUS-DP specification, IEC 61158 Type 3. The termination used by PROFIBUS is an active termination as showed in the figure below:
en0400001144
After connecting the PROFIBUS network always check that the termination is in place on both ends of the network and that there are no other terminations on the network. If a termination is missing or an extra termination is added somewhere in the PROFIBUS network the communication will probably fail. Cables and connectors Cables used to connect the PROFIBUS network must be according to PROFIBUS-DP specification, IEC 61158 Type 3. Drop cables are not allowed for PROFIBUS, so special D-subs must be used when the PROFIBUS-DP unit is not the last in line. The connector must have the possibility to insert two PROFIBUS cables in the same D-sub. It is also important that the cables are mounted from the top of the connector, otherwise it will not fit into the limited space around the PROFIBUS-DP unit (DSQC 637).

General All devices are connected in a bus structure. Each bus segment can have a maximum of 32 active devices. In order to be able to connect a larger number of stations (masters and slaves), the bus must be segmented. The segments are then interconnected with repeaters that amplify and refresh the data signals. Each repeater allows the PROFIBUS system to be extended by an additonal bus segment. The beginning and end of each segment is fitted with an active bus terminator, see illustration in section Termination on page 22.

4.1.1. Software overview

4.1 Introduction 4.1.1. Software overview
Controller software The IRC5 controller must be installed with a software that supports the use of the PROFIBUS-DP network, i.e. the option for PROFIBUS-DP must be installed. Predefined master bus and I/O unit types When the IRC5 system is booted with the PROFIBUS option the system is started up with a predefined master bus, Profibus1 of type PBUS. The IRC5 controller software also contains a number of predefined I/O unit types for PROFIBUS-DP. The I/O unit types are described in the configuration files located in the PROFIBUS option directory, in the RobotWare release media directory. If another I/O unit type is required, it has to be created by the user. PC software RobotStudioOnline is a PC software that is used for setting up connections to robots and to work with robots. The configuration for the PROFIBUS-DP communication is done either manually by RobotStudioOnline/FlexPendant , or by loading a configuration file from RobotStudioOnline. For information on how to work with RobotStudioOnline and FlexPendant refer to, respectively, Operators manual - RobotStudioOnline and Operators manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant, see References on page 12 .


4.1.1. Software overview Continued
Configuration software To correctly configure the PROFIBUS-DP option a binary configuration file must be created using Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator (or PROFI-KON-DP), which is an external PROFIBUS configuration PC tool. For more information about the configuration software, see section PROFIBUS-DP configuration software on page 30. GSD-files In order to configure the DSQC 637 with the PROFIBUS DP Configurator, GSD-files have to be imported into PROFI-KON-DP. These files contain vital information about the PROFIBUS units and they shall be supplied by the vendor/manufacturer of the specific PROFIBUS module. The GSD-files for the DSQC 637 master/slave are supplied on the RobotWare CD-ROM and can be found in following directory: <CD-ROM unit>:\Utility\fieldbus\PROFIBUS\gsd\ The directory contains following files:

Softing DP-Master PROFIboard Softing DP-Slave PROFIboard DSQC 352, DeviceNet to PROFIBUS DP gateway
Updating DSQC 637 firmware The firmware that is executing on the DSQC 637 board is included in the RobotWare software package. The board is automatically updated to the actual firmware that is included in a specific release of RobotWare, i.e. there is no need for any manual procedure to update the firmware. During an automatic firmware upgrade of the board, lock-files are created on the flash disk. The lock-files have names of the format /hd0a/firmwareXY.lock, where X and Y are figures in the range 0-9. Note! File names of the specified format above are to be considered as reserved names that must not be used by the user.

4.1.3. PROFIBUS-DP configuration software
4.1.3. PROFIBUS-DP configuration software

Description Softing PROFIBUS DP configurator is an external PROFIBUS configuration PC tool. The usage of the tool is described below. Installing PROFIBUS-DP configurator For installation instructions refer to chapter 2 Installation in User Manual DP Configurator. Bus parameter set - changing parameters All the parameters that are defined in the "PROFIBUS Bus parameter set" are possible to modify by using the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator. These parameters and default values for them (depending on the baudrate) are defined in the PROFIBUS specification. The default values are encouraged to be used and it is rarely necessary to modify these parameters. By selecting the desired baudrate the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator will automatically select the default "PROFIBUS Bus parameter set" for this baudrate. Note! The PROFIBUS user is strongly recommended not to change any of these parameters without having a really good knowledge of PROFIBUS and how the changes affect the communication. Slave parameter set - changing parameters By using the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator it is possible to change the parameters that are defined in the "Slave parameter set" according to the PROFIBUS specification. It is usually not necessary to modify the parameters in the "Slave parameter set", but in some cases it can be interesting to change parameters (like the Watchdog Time and the UserPrm Data). Description of how the parameters in the "Slave parameter sets" are modified is found in the manual for the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator. Note! The PROFIBUS user is strongly recommended not to change any of these parameters without having a really good knowledge of PROFIBUS and how the changes affect the communication.

4.2.3. Bus configuration
4.2.3. Bus configuration

Description The configuration of the bus consists of specifying the configuration path to the PROFIBUS configuration file, which is created using the tool Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator. Bus parameter The bus parameter set is defined in the PROFIBUS standard and contains parameters that influences the behaviour of the bus. The only way to modify the bus parameters, i.e. master address and baudrate, is to use the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator and generate a new binary configuration file. Note! The bus parameters should only be changed by a person that is familiar with the PROFIBUS-DP specification. Predefined bus If the system is installed with the PROFIBUS option, a predefined bus PROFIBUS1 is created. The default configuration path is: HOME/pbus_cfg.bin HOME specifies the current system directory, for example "MySystem/Home". It is possible to configure this path to any place on the IRC5 controller by first using the path /hd0a, which corresponds to the system flash drive. The equivalent to HOME/pbus_cfg.bin in this example would be /hd0a/MySystem/Home/pbus_cfg.bin. Binary configuration file The first step in the configuration of the bus is to create a binary configuration file using the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator tool on an off-line PC. This file needs to be supplied to the system to give a description of how the actual PROFIBUS network is physically configured. The binary configuration file contains all the parameters needed to get a PROFIBUS network up and running at the lowest level, i.e. what the DSQC 637 board needs to start the data exchange on the network.

Built-in digital slave module The DSQC 637 unit has a built-in digital slave module with up to 512 digital inputs and 512 digital outputs. This can be used to connect the IRC5 controller to a PLC. for connection of the slave channel of several robots to the master channel of one controlling robot.

4.3.2. Internal slave configurations

Unit type configuration The unit type definition for the IRC5 PROFIBUS-DP slave is called DP_SLAVE and is predefined during system start-up. The default sizes of input and output areas for DP_SLAVE are 16 bytes in and 16 bytes out. EXT_DP_SLAVE is another predefined unit type, and this shall only be used for configuring the master channel of an IRC5 controller that is connected to the slave channel of another IRC5 controller. I/O unit configuration The following steps describe how to configure the system parameters for the IRC5 PROFIBUS-DP slave: Step Action Description
Note! The internal slave is special in its behaviour since outputs from the master/PLC will become inputs to the controller and vice versa.
1. Create a new unit of type DP_SLAVE. 2. If the default input size or output size for DP_SLAVE is not suited, edit the Internal Slave Output Size and/or Internal Slave Input Size for the unit type DP_SLAVE.
PLC configuration To configure the PROFIBUS master that will control the internal slave, use the GSD file supplied on the RobotWare CD-ROM, in the directory: <CD-ROM unit>:\Utility\fieldbus\PROFIBUS\gsd\softb205.gsd The modules to be chosen depend on the current I/O definition (input/output sizes as defined for the Unit type).


4.3.2. Internal slave configurations Continued
Communication status To have control of the communication status, i.e. to know if the PLC to slave communication is in DATA_EXCHANGE mode or not, the PROFIBUS watchdog timer should be used. The master/PLC can set one signal during startup or within the controller loop, this signal (on the internal slave) could then be attached to a system input in the robot controller as a communication supervision signal. If the communication between the master/PLC and the slave will be interrupted (i.e. the slave leaves the DATA_EXCHANGE mode), all the inputs of the internal slave will go to fail safe state (i.e. be set to zeros only) after the specified watchdog time. This means that the user defined communication supervision signal will also go to zero.

4.4.1. System parameters
4.4 Parameters 4.4.1. System parameters

Introduction There are both PROFIBUS specific parameters and more general parameters. This chapter gives brief descriptions of all system parameters that are necessary for the correct installation and configuration of PROFIBUS. The parameters are divided into the type they belong to. The PROFIBUS specific parameters are described here, for information about other parameters refer to Technical reference manual - System parameters. Type name Unit These parameters belong to the topic I/O and the type Unit. For more information, see the respective parameter in Technical reference manual - System parameters. Parameter
Profibus Address
Description
This parameter is used to specify the address that the I/O unit uses on the network, and to which the master should try to setup a connection. Allowed values: 0-125


4.4.1. System parameters Continued
Type name Unit Type These parameters belong to the topic I/O and the type Unit Type. For more information, see the respective parameter in Technical reference manual - System parameters. Parameter
Product ID
Description
This parameter is used as an identification of the I/O unit and is only available for PROFIBUS unit types. If the parameter is assigned the value 0 (zero), the robot controller ignores what product ID the connected unit has. The value of the parameter can be found in the Electronic Data Sheet (GSD) for the unit (called Ident_number in GSD file). Note that Ident_number is often expressed as a hexadecimal number in the GSD file. Allowed values are integers 0-65535. This parameter specifies the type of the slave device. A slave device is either internal or external. The DSQC 637 unit has a built-in slave module and it is defined as internal slave. All other slave devices are defined as external slaves. Allowed values: Yes or No This parameter defines the data size transmitted by the unit and is only available for internal slave unit types. Allowed values: A value between 0-64, specifying the data size in bytes. This parameter defines the data size received by the unit and is only available for internal slave unit types. Allowed values: A value between 0-64, specifying the data size in bytes.

Description This example demonstrates how two IRC5 systems can be configured to communicate with each other, one as the master and one as a slave. The bus is configured using the Softing PROFIBUS DP Configurator, with the master at address 2 and with baudrate 12 Mbit/s. The whole procedure for this example is described in section I/O configuration on page 32. This example is a detailed description of step 2 in the I/O configuration section and contains information that is unique to this example. Overview - how to start Step Action Info
The slave system will be set up as an ordinary PROFIBUS-DP slave unit with 128 DI and 128 DO. The address is 12.
1. Start by configuring the slave system according to section Internal slave configuration example on page 53. 2. Configure the master system with one unit at address 12 of type EXT_DP_SLAVE.
NOTE! The unit type EXT_DP_SLAVE shall be used when configuring an IRC5 PROFIBUS master to communicate via a PROFIBUS connection to the slave channel of another IRC5 system. The unit type DP_SLAVE shall be used for configuring of the internal PROFIBUS slave, i.e. the definition of a DP_SLAVE unit type will determine what the internal slave will look like when seen from the PROFIBUS side. The unit types EXT_DP_SLAVE and DP_SLAVE are predefined unit types, i.e. the user does not need to make any Unit Type definition for these slaves.
