Draft profile defining the use of Profibus DP with low voltage switchgear defines several selectable data structures for cyclic data exchange
Profibus International has released a new draft profile defining the use of Profibus DP with low voltage switchgear.
This profile edition dated July 2002 defines several selectable data structures for the cyclic data exchange on Profibus DP for circuit breakers and starters and includes the new standard I and M functions.
Future editions will cover switches, overload relays, contactors, auxiliary switching devices, control and protective switching devices.
The profile is in accordance with IEC 60947.
Earlier Profibus profile versions for low voltage switchgear devices had been based on Profibus-FMS and had been published as VDI/VDE 3689 and Profibus Profiles 3.032 (draft). This version - Draft 0.85; July 2002 - is based on Profibus-DP (DP-V1).
The new document is available to order from Profibus UK. Order Code is 3.122 and the price is £36 to non-members or £18 to User members of Profibus UK.
Members and higher may download the document from the Profibus web site using their standard login and password.
