PROFIBUS Manual

The special format comprises one or more bytes. The first byte is the header and also determines the number of bytes:

Length byte follows for inputs and outputs

 

Bits 6 and 7 determine whether further length indications will follow. The length specification for outputs always comes first, and then the inputs.

Consistency across one byte or one word

 

An identifier for a special format module can comprise up to 64 bytes or words.  

 

With the special format, it is possible that the manufacturer packs more information into the configuration. These values are freely assignable with DP-V0. The header indicates how many of these bytes there are.

 

Examples for special format module coding:

0x00= empty module
0x03 0x00 0x01 0x02= no cyclic data, bytes 0x00,0x01 and 0x02 are vendor-specific
0x80 0x01= 2 byte output, no input - consistency per byte
0x40 0x00= 1 byte input, no output
0xC1 0x43 0x81 0x11= 4 word outputs, 2 byte consistent inputs, value 0x11 vendor-specific

 

If the controller and slave support DP-V1 protocol extensions, vendor-specific bytes are defined more precisely. In the GSD Datei the key word

DPV1_Data_Types = 1

indicates whether the slave supports these extended data types. The following values are reserved for data type descriptions in the standard:

DP/PA Link:

For DP/PA Link Siemens has created the possibility of configuring an MBP segment as a modular DP slave. Each slot corresponds to an address in the MBP segment. Unallocated addresses are filled with a place holder. The modules of complex field devices with more than one module are  lodged between the start and end modules.
