General Information

1. General Information
The Profibus DP interface for the Vistus metal detector consists of eight bytes for in-
put and eight for output.
A DP interface must be set up for each line. When systems have one control unit and
multiple lines (max. 4), one DP slave is provided for each line.
The Profibus upgrade consists of an optional expansion PCB, which needs to be in-
stalled on the IO-CPU module of the line in question.

After the expansion PCB has been installed, the corresponding Profibus option needs
to be activated on the operator terminal of the metal detector. The dialog to activate
the Profibus option is located on the third page of the system settings.

 General Information

1.1 Setting the Profibus DP Address

On the VISTUS operator terminal, it is possible to configure the Profibus DP slave ad-
dress for each line (provided that the Profibus expansion option is available).
The dialog page for the Profibus can be found under the system settings and will
only be visible if the Profibus option has already been activated. Before the DP slave
address can be displayed or modified, the Profibus needs to be activated on the cor-
responding line.
The parameter for the DP slave address appears after the checkbox is activated.

Settings for the slave address can be made in the 1-127 range. The default value is 1
for the first line, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and 4 for the fourth.
If the Profibus has been activated for a line in the system, a check takes place when
starting up the system to determine whether the relevant Profibus hardware is pre-
sent. If this is not detected, a warning (code W0080) is generated.

1.2 Parameterizing the Profibus DP Master (PLC)

The supplied GSD file LdB_7FFF.gsd is required to parameterize the Profibus DP mas-
ter (PLC). The metal detector can then be configured as the DP slave in the Profibus
DP.
The following settings need to be made:

 Slave address: in line with rotary encoder switch (default address "3")
 I/O modules: 8 input/output bytes (selectable in GSD file)
 Baud rate: automatic detection up to 12 Mbaud
 Sync: supported
 Freeze: supported
 ID no.: 0x7FFF

1. Metal detection signal (feedback on relay contact status)
2. Batch is running
3. Check request
4.
5. Data channel data valid
6. Type change OK
7. Type change is running
1 Vistus outputs reserve

 Output Data (PLC Writes to Metal Detector)

3. Output Data (PLC Writes to Metal Detector)

The output data range consists of eight data bytes.
The following section describes the 8-byte output data in more detail.

Byte (OB) Meaning

0 Vistus inputs
Bit: function
0. Acknowledge error
1. Assigned internally (set/reset by I/O, I/O communication error)
2. -
3. -
4. Delete metal counter
