module continues communication over the active
path.
MODULAR BASEPLATE MOUNTING
The module mounts on a Modular Baseplate (see
Figure 3), which accommodates up to four or eight
FBMs. The Modular Baseplate is either DIN rail
mounted or rack mounted, and includes signal
connectors for the FBMs, redundant independent dc
power connections, and I/O cable connections.
Features
Key features include:
Combination foot that supports 32 or 35 mm DIN
rail mounting
Distinct family group color
Three-tier termination
Switch-selectable termination resistors.
Overview
Field I/O signals connect to the FBM subsystem via
DIN rail mounted termination assemblies (TAs).
Each FBM223 PROFIBUS-DP Termination Assembly
and its associated termination cable provide feed
through connection between PROFIBUS-DP
compliant field devices and the FBM223
PROFIBUS-DP Communication Input Interface
Module.
The TA is available in Polypropylene (PVC) material.
The DIN rail mounted TAs connect to the Modular
Baseplate by means of a removable termination
cable. The cable is available in a variety of lengths, up
to 30 meters (98 feet), allowing the TA to be mounted
in either the enclosure or in an adjacent enclosure.
Termination cables are available in the following
materials:
Polyurethane
Hypalon® XLP (fire retardant).
Refer to Table 2 on page 11.
FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
PROFIBUS-DP Communications
INTERFACE
2 communication channels provide interface to 2
isolated PROFIBUS-DP buses
BUS CHARACTERISTICS
General
Electronic Industrial Association (EIA) RS
485 communications. The physical
communication medium consists of twisted
pair shielded copper cable containing a
single conductor pair.
Data Transfer Rate (Baud Rate)
Selectable, 9.6 to 12.000 kbit/sec (see
Table 1)
FBM223 CHANNEL ISOLATION
Each communication channel is galvanically isolated
and referenced to earth (ground). The module can
withstand, without damage, a potential of 600 V ac
applied for one minute between either channel and
earth.
CAUTION
This does not imply that the channels are
intended for permanent connection to
voltages of these levels. Exceeding the limits
for input voltages, as stated elsewhere in this
specification, violates electrical safety codes
and may expose users to electric shock.
Maximum Allowable Bus Length
The maximum allowable length of a
PROFIBUS-DP bus segment is a function of
the user selected data transfer rate (see
Table 1)
Maximum Cable Length, FBM223 to TA
30 m (90 ft) which is to be included in the
bus segment length
Maximum Number of Devices (Total) on a
Bus

Per EN 50170. for a non-expanded bus
(repeaters not used), one master and up to
31 slaves are supported. For an expanded
bus, the number of slave devices allowed is
a function of the allowable input/output data
processed per slave device (refer to the
PROFIBUS-DP Communication Interface
Module (FBM223) User’s Guide (B0400FE)).
The maximum number supported per port is
91.
Maximum Number of Devices on a Bus
Segment
Per EN 50170. a bus segment (in an
expanded network) supports up to 32 active
devices. An active device can be a master,
slave, or repeater.
FASTEST ALLOWED ECB BLOCK PERIOD
