1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The DTU3005P is an intelligent, multiple-function
data transfer unit that enables communications
between Siemens communicating power meters,
trip units, protective relays, and Profibus DP net-
works. The device (shown below in Figure 1.1) is
designed for the harsh industrial environment and is
suited for use in electrical equipment.
The device is powered from an external power sup-
ply. Three ports allow for connection to the Siemens
ACCESS devices, Siemens Protective Relays device,
the Profibus network, and a passthrough, which
allows direct communications with Port 2 to Sie-
mens ACCESS devices. Status lights indicate proper
operation and DIP Switches allow access to pro-
gramming and diagnostic modes.

The DTU3005P device supports a wide variety of
Siemens ACCESS devices and 7-series numerical
protection relays. Appendix A lists the supported
Siemens ACCESS devices.
1.2 Software Overview
The DTU3005P Editor software is a DOS based pro-
gram used to configure the DTU3005P device. It
provides for uploading and downloading configura-
tions via the computer’s serial port. Using the soft-
ware, you can edit and save configurations in project
files on your computer’s hard drive. Chapters 2
through 6 discuss installing and using the editor
software to configure your DTU3005P device.

1.4 Getting Started
To integrate the DTU3005P into your system, verify
that you have all of the following components:
Supplied by User:
• 9-35VDC Power Supply
Supplied by Siemens:
• Port 2 cable (DB25M to shield twisted pair)
• Power Supply Terminal (3-pin)
• DB25F to DB9 Null modem cable for program-
ming via Port 3
• 3-1/2” diskette with Editor software
• 3-1/2” diskette with DTU3005P GSD file*
* GSD file — a file that describe the Profibus device
configuration and parameters (i.e. I/O map, data
type, etc.). This file is required by the Profibus con-
figuration tool like (ComProfibus) to setup the slave
parameters. Those files are supplied with the device
manufacturer; the DTU3005P GSD file is supplied by
Siemens Energy & Automation.
