5.9 Cleaning
If it becomes necessary to clean the device, this must be done with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do
not use water or solvent! If liquids get into the device, it must be deactivated.
When cleaning the device, make sure that no dirt enters the optical transmission path or gets
onto the optical components. This means either that the fiber-optic cables remain connected
or you fit the supplied protective caps!
5.10 Configuration
Because of frame delays due to cables, network components and monitoring mechanisms in
the network components, the PROFIBUS network parameter "slot time" must be adapted to
the network span, the network topology and the data rate when configuring the network.
5.10.1 Configuring optical bus and star topologies
You configure the PROFIBUS network, for example with SIMATIC STEP 7 (V5) or COM
PROFIBUS (V5). You enter the number of OLMs and overall cable length in a configuration
dialog. The configuration tools then check whether the slot time can be retained in the
chosen communication profile. If the limit is exceeded due to the extra delays caused by
OLMs and fiber-optic cables, a warning message is displayed and the parameters are
adapted.
5.10.2 Configuring redundant optical rings
The following configuration requirements must be met in the redundant optical ring (see
section 3.3 for details):
One un
used address lower than the HSA (1)
Increase of the retry value to at least 3 (2)
Checking and adaptation of the slot time (3)
Use the user-specific profile of the configuration tool to set the parameters under (2) and (3).
Calculate the slot time based on the following equation:
Slot time = a + (b * Length
FOC
) + (c * Number
OLM
)
Slot time is the monitoring time in bit times
Length
FOC
is the sum of all fiber-optic cables (segment lengths) in the network.
The length must be entered in km!
Number
OLM
is the number of the PROFIBUS OLMs in the network.
