Application and operating principle

of the DP/DP coupler
SITRAIN
Field of application The DP/DP coupler is used to link two PROFIBUS DP networks together and to
transfer data from the master of one network to the master of the other network.
The maximum length of data that can be transferred is 244 bytes input data
and 244 bytes output data.
Configuration You can configure the DP/DP coupler using either STEP 7 or a configuring tool
that links in the DP/DP coupler with the help of a GSD file. You can use STEP 7
to set the length of input and output data required.
The output data of one side of the DP/DP coupler are transferred as the input
data of the other side and vice versa.
You enter these input/output data areas as slots with identifiers
in STEP 7.

Data communication principle
SITRAIN
Data communicationThe example above shows that both networks are independent of one another.
This means that you set one unique PROFIBUS address for each PROFIBUS DP
network.
In the diagram below, this is PROFIBUS address 3 in network 1 and PROFIBUS
address 50 in network 2.
In addition, it is possible to work with a different baud rate in each network.
Network 1 fills the output buffer slower than it is read by Network 2.
Network 2 therefore reads identical data several times consecutively.
This applies conversely in the direction from network 2 to network 1. The output
buffer is overwritten several times before it is read by network 1. The most
recently written data are therefore always available.
Note You must ensure that the input and output areas of both networks are mutually
coordinated.

Properties of the DP/DP coupler
SITRAIN
Properties The properties of the DP/DP coupler are:

Data transfer of up to maximum 244 bytes of input data and 244 bytes of
output data, of which 128 bytes is consistent
Up to 16 I/O areas for exchanging data; when one side fails the outputs on the
other side are held at the previous value
Support for DP V1 with complete and uniform diagnostics
PROFIBUS addresses can be set either via a switch on the DP/DP coupler or
with STEP 7 (or with another configuring tool)
Different baud rates and PROFIBUS addresses can be set on each side of the
DP/DP coupler
Electrical isolation between the two DP networks
Power supply on both sides
Slave address settings and diagnostics

The slave addresses for the two slaves are set independently of one another by
DIP switches on top of the unit. Addresses 1 to 124 can be set
Please ensure that the addresses set on the hardware correspond to the
parameters assigned during configuration.
Subsequent changes to the slave addresses are not effective until the power
has been switched off and on again.
Diagnosis The "Diagnosis" DIP switch provides an additional display of the data validity
within the I/O data area.
It has no effect on the normal diagnostic message frames of the DP/DP coupler.
You can set the "Diagnosis" DIP switch to specify whether the validity of data is
indicated by a defined bit within the configured I/O area.

Setting the PROFIBUS address with STEP7
DP/DP coupler
for network 1
SITRAIN
PROFIBUS address
In the delivery condition, the PROFIBUS address "126" is stored in the non-
volatile memory of the DP/DP coupler.
Procedure 1.Set the "ADDR" DIL switch to "ON". This means that the PROFIBUS address
will be read out of the non-volatile memory in the DP/DP coupler.
2.Switch on the 24 V power supply (or power supplies) for the DP-DP
coupler. LED(s) ON1 and/or ON2 light up.
3.Connect the PG/PC via a PG cable to the DP network or to the DP/DP coupler.
4.Open the STEP 7 hardware configuration and configure the DP/DP coupler
5.Select the configured DP/DP coupler
6.Change to PLC PROFIBUS Assign PROFIBUS address. The window
"PROFIBUS address" appears.
7.Enter the configured PROFIBUS address and confirm with "OK".
The PROFIBUS address is transferred to the DP/DP coupler and
stored in the non-volatile memory of the DP/DP coupler.

Activating the "Data validity" diagnosis
When the "Diagnosis" DIL switch is set, a

"1" is stored in the first configured
INPUTbyte in EW62 = I 62.0 when the
other side of the DP/DP coupler is
operating correctly. In the event of an
error, there is a "0" here.
SITRAIN
Diagnosis The "Diagnosis" DIP switch provides an additional display of the data validity
within the I/O data area. It has no effect on the normal diagnostic message
frames of the DP/DP coupler.
You can set the "Diagnosis" DIP switch to ensure that the validity of data is
indicated by a defined bit within the configured I/O area.
If one of the masters is not active or if, for example, due to a fault on an interface
of the DP/DP coupler, no data transfer takes place, this must be signaled to the
other master so that it can reject the data read over the coupler. The validity of
the data can either be determined using the slave diagnostics or, when the data
validity display is active, it can be directly evaluated within the data.DIP switch at
"1": The first bit in the LSB byte (low byte in the data unit), i.e. the first
configured input byte, is used to indicate data validity. This can be evaluated in
the user program. If the bit has the value "1", all the DP/DP coupler data are valid.
Note It is important to note that when this function is used, the I/O bit from the user
program is overwritten with the validity display.
Example:
- Network 1: 16-byte inputEW 60, i.e. I 60.0 =1 for valid data exchange
- Network 2: 16-byte input EW 50, i.e. I 50.0 =1 for valid data exchange
The first bit in the 16-byte input block of network 1 and the first bit in the 16-byte
input block of network 2 display the data validity. Value equal to 1: Data valid
Value equal to 0: Data invalid
DIP switch at "0": Within the I/O data, there is no indication of the data validity. The LSB byte can be
used for normal I/O data.

Exercise 1 : Connect 2 DP networks using

a DP/DP coupler
SITRAIN
Task description: Your task is to connect 2 physically separate DP systems via the DP/DP coupler.
Define the data of network 1 as output data and process them in network 2 as
input data.
Procedure: 1.Change the name of your hardware station to "Network_1", copy your system
to the clipboard and paste it in again under the name Network_2".
As a result you should have one station called network_2 and one called
network_1 in your project.
3.Change the system network_2 in such a way that it is linked to an independent
PROFIBUS network. After step 2, your project should also contain two
PROFIBUS networks.
4.Now insert the DP/DP coupler type in the "Hardware configuration tool using
the hardware catalog.
5.Configure an output area in network_1 and an input area in network_2.
Download the modified hardware stations to the relevant CPU.
6.Change your S7 program, if necessary, to ensure that output data are
generated and input data are processed.
