DNP over Ethernet to PROFIBUS DP Slave Communication Module

5205-DNPSNET-PDPS

Product Description

The ProLinx family DNP over Ethernet to PROFIBUS DP Slave communications module (5205-DNPSNET-PDPS) creates a powerful connection between devices on a DNP over Ethernet network and a PROFIBUS master device. The module is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway that provides one Ethernet port and one PROFIBUS DP Slave configurable DB9F port.

The ProLinx module is capable of supporting the DNP 3.0 protocol as a server using the TCP and UDP protocols using service port 20000. This port is fully configurable, providing a great deal of flexibility.

Product Applications

The DNPSNET-PDPS modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where DNP over Ethernet connectivity can be used to integrate a PROFIBUS DP master device into a system. The DNP over Ethernet gateway is a powerful module designed with both Client and Server support, enabling easy connection to other DNP devices. In combination with the PROFIBUS DP Slave support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many PROFIBUS master devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace today. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially the Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food Processing.

Functional Specifications

Internal Database

The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.

The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.

Status Data Area

This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.

Configuration File

This file contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, the module.

DNPSNET Protocol Specifications

The DNPSNET protocol driver exists as a single service port (DNPSNET port 20000) implementation that supports a single TCP port connection and multiple UDP ports on a TCP/IP Ethernet network. The DNPSNET port operates as a server, supporting the DNP 3.0 protocol in a Level 2 implementation using the DNP User Group recommended extension for use on LAN/WAN. This is published in "Transporting DNP V3.00 over Local and Wide Area Networks", December 15, 1998 by the DNP Users Group and is available on the Internet at http://www.dnp.org.

The DNPSNET driver will respond to requests from a remote DNP client (master) device. All data in the module's database configured as DNP data points is available to the remote master device for read and write requests. Additionally, the driver can send unsolicited event messages to a connected, TCP, client.

Status Data

Error codes, counters and port status

The DNPSNET module accepts DNP commands to control and monitor the data stored in the DNP databases. These data are passed between the module and the other protocol on the ProLinx module.

PROFIBUS DP Slave Specifications

The PROFIBUS DP Slave driver gives access to the ProLinx unit's internal database via 200 bytes of Input data and 200 bytes of Output data. These Input and Output data blocks are mapped by the user within the ProLinx module's data memory allowing the user maximum flexibility and data transfer with other protocols.
