1.1. SAI
The SAI consists of the following components: The acronym SAI stands for Sensor Actuator Interface.
It is a compact-designed distributor and collector of
signal lines.
An I/O section: to connect the signal lines.
A settings section:
to set the network addresses and insert the jump-
ers for the different electric potentials.
Signals to and from the process in field installations are
often controlled from a central point, for example, by a
PLC or industrial PC. Typically, the distance between
the installation and the central controls is significant.
The resulting costs for installation and materials for the
cabling are high. This in turn increases the susceptibility
of the system to interference and errors.
A bus / power section: for the connection and loop
through for the supply voltage as well as the bus
connection.

Weidmller offers the following I/O versions:
M12 16DI with 16 digital inputs.

M12 16DI / 8DO with 8 fixed digital inputs and 8
individually configurable inputs or outputs.
The use of SAIs has proven successful under numer-
ous conditions:

The signal lines of the peripheral devices are bun-
dled together at the process in the installation and
connected to a bus.

In addition, Weidmller also offers:
Network components for the Fieldbus systems
mentioned above
Signal lines are connected simply and conveniently
by means of Plug and Play.
Sensor / valve connector cables
The controls are at a central point
Plug-in connectors and twin-plugs
The reliability of the data transfer is guaranteed by
a bus system.

1.2. PROFIBUS-DP

PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS (PROcess Field BUS) is a part of the in-
ternational IEC 61158 and IEC 61784 standards.
Physically, PROFIBUS is either an electrical network
based on a shielded, two-conductor cable or an optical
network based on a fibre optics cable. PROFIBUS-DP
(DP =Decentralised Periphery) is a special application
for automating factory production.

System
A typical PROFIBUS-DP system is made up of:
At least one PLC or industrial PC (master) operat-
ing as a control system.
Various field devices, such as digital or analogue
I/O devices, AC or DC drives, magnetic or pneu-
matic valves, frequency converters, starters, oper-
ating and indicating devices (slaves).

Data transfer
Data exchange within the system is carried out by
means of cyclic polling. The master establishes com-
munications with one slave at a time and makes data
available and/or requests data. The slave being ad-
dressed responds immediately to the request for data.
Once completed, this procedure is repeated with the
other slave devices. This is a continuous cyclic process.
GSD files (device database files)
The GSD file is the obligatory ID card of each and
every PROFIBUS device. It contains the characteristic
data of the device, details about its communication
capabilities as well as other information, such as diag-
nostic values.
Weidmller has made available for downloading all
GSD files of the SAI distributors from the SAI Active
Universal series at: http://www.weidmueller.com.
For more information, please refer to Chapter 5 (Com-
missioning).

1.3. Bluetooth
Bluetooth
Bluetooth defines a universal wireless interface in the
2.4 GHz ISM band. No license is required for the 2.4
GHz ISM band. Users are not required to register or
pay usage fees.

The acronym ISM stands for Industrial Scientific Medi-
cal and describes the potential scope of its use. A
range between 10 metres to 100 metres is defined
because of Bluetooth's minimal transmitting power of a
few milliwatts.

System
A Bluetooth system consists of a maximum of 255
nodes. From these however, only 8 can be simultane-
ously connected to each other.
The Weidmller Bluetooth SAIs are formed from Picon-
ets consisting of one master and six slaves. Thirty-two
of these Piconets can be operated in parallel.

The Bluetooth master, which functions as the
PROFIBUS gateways, is simultaneously a slave in the
PROFIBUS system. The PROFIBUS master views it as
a standard PROFIBUS slave with a modular I/O con-
figuration. The Bluetooth gateway can be configured
with a GSD file.

Protocol
The standard Bluetooth profile is used. The communi-
cation protocol then uses this. The implementation is
based on the CANopen / WIRELESSopen standards.

2.1. Project planning
Planning the bus system

The following steps must be taken into consideration when designing an installation:

Location of the machine or facility
Assignment of the signals to the installation to a logical group
Selection of the field devices
Assignment of the signals to the field devices
Determination of where the field devices are to be installed

Criteria for determining the correct SAI distributor:

Size of the connec-
tors
Determine the size of the connectors to suit your application, the design of the sen-
sors or according to your personal preferences. Weidmller offers both M12 and M8
variants for purely digital signals
Number of poles of
the I/O connections
Please consider the sensor/actuator cable to be connected; possible options are 3
or 5 poles
Y-piece (twin) Specifically for 5-pole M12 sensor connections, you can feed two cables to a dis-
tributor input by means of a Y-piece.
Inputs / outputs Weidmller has a variety of SAI distributors on offer such as a variant with 16 digital
inputs, with mixed digital inputs/outputs as well as an analogue/digital version (for
more information please refer to Chapter 4 (Connecting SAIs).
Shielding Shielding by means of metal connectors is necessary for bus connections. We rec-
ommend the same approach for analogue signals to restrict the susceptibility to
interference.
Signals Please consider if you wish to transmit analogue or digital signals.

2.2. Power supply
Example calculation to determine voltage drop in
the lines:
Star or line topology wiring can be used to feed the
power supply. Only modules without digital outputs are
suitable for line topology wiring.

Power is supplied via the plug in connection AUX IN;
power is fed to the next module via the module connec-
tion AUX OUT.

Caution

The maximum current supplied to the first
module must not exceed 2.5 A per power
supply pin. The supply voltage at the last
module must not fall below 18 V DC.
When determining the maximum number of
modules in series you should take into con-
sideration the total current of all modules and
the voltage drop in the line.

3.1. Mounting dimensions and position
Note

Please observe that a given distance to the
adjacent module may be required when
using custom assembly and angled connec-
tors.

An SAI distributor can be mounted in any position.
There are no restrictions placed with regard to their
position when being mounted: vertical, horizontal, on
their side, or overhead. However, to ensure that the
LEDs can be seen, we recommend that where possi-
ble the modules are not mounted on their side or
overhead. Our SAIs can be mounted side by side.
The mounting dimensions of our SAI distributors are
210 x 54 mm.

You can find details about the mounting di-
mensions in Appendix B: Drilling Templates.

Figure 5: Mounting dimensions for the SAI Active Uni-
versal

3.2. Mounting SAI distributors
Mounting
To mount the SAI distributor, select a firm and level
surface. Pre-drill the bore holes (for more information,
please refer to Appendix B: Drilling Template). Hold the
distributor above the bore holes and fix it in positions
with screws. Please use a spring washer if the SAI
distributor is to be used in an environment where the
loads are subject to increased shock and vibration.
Please refer to Figure 5: Mounting dimensions for the
SAI Active Universal.

PROFIBUS guidelines
Please observe the PROFIBUS guidelines: Installation
Guideline for PROFIBUS-DP/FMS.

Figure 6: Mounting an SAI distributor
DANGER

Isolate (de-energize) the system before con-
necting the power-supply connector or insert-
ing or removing jumpers.

Torque
We recommend the following torques:
M8 connector: 0.6 Nm
M8 protective cap: 0.4 Nm
M12 connector: 0.8 Nm
M12 protective cap: 0.8 Nm
Screw for window: 0.5 Nm
Functional earth (FE)
The functional earth is the earthing (ground) of equip-
ment to its surroundings. Contrary to the protective
earth (PE) the FE does not primarily serve to protect
equipment or persons, but instead serves to discharge
electrostatic charges and shield connections.

Caution

Electromagnetic pulses affect cabling and
the distributor during operations. Flawed
signals and false data can result.
Do not use a PE conductor for the FE con-
nection.

SAI distributors from the SAI Active Universal series are
equipped with an FE connection integrated at the
mounting hole in the bus/power section. Use this con-
nection and fix the distributor directly to a conductive
surface or attach a short, low impedance FE cable to
the fixing screw by means of a cable lug. Please refer
to Figure 6: Mounting an SAI distributor.

Figure 7: Functional earth FE connection

3.3. Marking and labelling
Twenty transparent markers in a MultiCard frame are included in the range of supply of the SAI distributors. These allow
you to individually mark the I/O connections as well as the distributor. Either two normal or one longer marker can be
used to specifically mark the distributor. Please refer to the following graphic Figure 8: Attaching the markers.

Weidmller has various printers and plotters available to achieve professional printing results. For advice and a demon-
stration, please contact your Weidmller partner.

To achieve rapid, manual on-site marking
results, we recommend our STI-S fibre pen
(please refer to Appendix A: Overview of
items).

Figure 8: Attaching markers and tags
Note

Please note that you should not stick marker
tags on top of one another. Nor should you
use coloured markers since they can cover
up the LEDs below them.

3.4. Setting the PROFIBUS address
PROFIBUS address
The PROFIBUS address is used to determine at which
address your SAI distributor will be identified on
PROFIBUS-DP.

Setting
Set the PROFIBUS-DP address for the SAI distributor
in the settings section of the distributor. Use a flat-
bladed screwdriver to adjust the rotary switch.

Tools
Use a 2.5-mm flat-bladed screwdriver (please refer to
Appendix A: Overview of items).

Address / hexadecimal code
Please note that PROFIBUS-DP allows a maximum of
126 possible addresses. The addresses 1 to 125 are
defined. Please note that the address 126 is used for
configuration purposes and the addresses 01 and 02
are retained for the PROFIBUS master. The distributor
address is set in hexadecimal code by means of two
rotary coding switches. To do so, you will have to con-
vert the decimal address to hexadecimal or, for the
sake of simplicity, you could make use of the table
below.
Example:
To set the PROFIBUS-DP address 93, turn the left-
hand rotary coding switch to position 5 and the right-
hand rotary coding switch to position D.

Note

Each address must be allocated only once
on PROFIBUS-DP. The PROFIBUS address
that you set must match the PROFIBUS
address for this distributor set in the project
configuration software.

If you alter a PROFIBUS address during
operations you will have to disconnect the
power supply and then restart the system to
enable the master to recognise the change.

Table 2: Code conversion decimal <- >hexadecimal

1073380000/1.3/08.09 Weidmller t 15


- Master:

The rotary switches are used for setting the Profibus
address network.

The switches are used for setting the Bluetooth network.
Set the rotary switch to position 1.

The sliding switch is used to define which networks are
to be set.
Slide the switch to position 1 in order to set the first 16
networks. Slide the switch to position ON in order to set
the next 16 networks (17 31).

- Slave:

The first rotary switch is used to set the slave's node
address. The second rotary switch is used for setting
the Bluetooth network. Set the rotary switch to position
1. The connection will be established within about 40
seconds.

Tools
Use a 2.5-mm flat-bladed screwdriver (please refer to
Appendix A: Overview of items).

Address / hexadecimal code
The distributor address is set in hexadecimal code by
means of two (or three) rotary coding switches. To do
so, you will have to convert the decimal address to
hexadecimal or, for the sake of simplicity, you could
make use of Table 2.

16 Weidmller t 1073380000/1.3/08.09

3.5. Setting the Bluetooth address
Note

Each Bluetooth address can occur only once
with a Piconet. The defined network address
must be identical with a network.

If you alter a Bluetooth address during op-
erations you will have to disconnect the
power supply and then restart the system to
enable the master to recognise the change.

Bluetooth address
The Bluetooth address is used to determine at which
address your SAI distributor will be identified from the
Bluetooth master. The Bluetooth address consists of a
node address and a network address.

Slave address
The slave address defines the location (address) of the
participant within the Piconet. Each slave address can
occur only once within a Piconet. The Bluetooth gate-
way always uses the node address 0; this cannot be
adjusted.

Network address
The network address defines the Piconet which the SAI
should be connected to. The settings on the SAI and
the Piconet gateway must be identical.

Setting
Set the address for the SAI distributor in the settings
section of the distributor. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver
to adjust the rotary switch.

1073380000/1.3/08.09 Weidmller t 17


3.6. Dismounting the SAI
DANGER

Never plug in or pull out a power connector
or jumpers when the system is live (ener-
gized). Turn off the power supply to the sys-
tem first.

Caution

No immediate damage will occur to the de-
vice if you dismount an SAI distributor when
the system is operating.

However, the disruption to PROFIBUS will
place the rest of the plant in an uncontrolled
state. This can lead to indirect damage.
Disconnect the power to the system before
you mount or take off the distributor.

Dismounting
Turn off the power supply to the system.
Disconnect the connections to the power supply on
the SAI distributor.
Disconnect the PROFIBUS connections on the SAI
distributor.
Disconnect the I/O connections.
Dismount the distributor by undoing the mounting
screws.

Tools
Use an Allen key or Torx screwdriver appropriate to the
screw you choose. For more information, please refer
to Appendix A: Overview of items - Recommended
tools.

4.1. PROFIBUS / RS-485
PROFIBUS is a universal, open, digital communication
system providing solutions for a wide spectrum of appli-
cations first and foremost in production and process
automation. PROFIBUS is a suitable solution for fast,
time-critical applications, as well as for complex com-
munications tasks. PROFIBUS communication is an-
chored in the international standards IEC 61158 and
IEC 61784.61158.

The criteria for its use and planning are defined in the
openly accessible guidelines available from the
PROFIBUS Users Organisation (PUO). These guide-
lines fulfil the demands on the part of the users for
multi-vendor and open solutions. That guarantees the
communication between devices of differing manufac-
tures without having to make prior adjustments.

Additional information is available under
www.profibus.com.

Select the bus cable as cable type A in accordance with
IEC 61158. The PROFIBUS connection is made via a
5-pole M12 male connector (Bus IN) and a 5-pole M12
female connector (Bus OUT). Both connections are B-
coded. Use the "Bus In" connection to feed in signals
and "Bus Out" to route these forward.

In the SAI, male and female connectors are conduc-
tively connected. That enables the PROFIBUS to be
routed from SAI to SAI without the need for spur lines.

Note

It is possible to connect the SAI distributors
by means of a spur line for low transmission
rates up to 1500 Kbit/s. The total length of
the spur line must not exceed 6.6 meters.
The spur lines should be kept as short as
possible. Avoid the use of spur lines for baud
rates greater than 1500 Kbit/s.

Bus termination
A reference voltage of 5 V DC is applied to both bus
connections. This voltage is isolated from the internal
system voltage and is applied exclusively to supply an
external bus connection with power. Install the termina-
tions at the physical beginning and end according to the
PROFIBUS standard EN 50170 using the following
values:

4.2. SAI-AU M12 GW PB/BT 12I
The SAI distributor Active Universal has the functions of
a decentralized I/O system. Each distributor is equipped
with module-specific actuator/sensor functions and a
Fieldbus interface.
The module combines the complete electronics in a
water- and dust-proof protected housing. This enables it
to be used in harsh environments.

The module SAI-AU M12 GW PB/BT 12I is designed to
connect 12 digital sensors with 6 M12 connectors.

PROFIBUS addressing
Two rotary switches in the address section of the SAI
are used to make the necessary bus address settings.
The setting is made in hexadecimal code from 00H to
7EH which corresponds to the decimal values from 0 to
126 (see also Appendix C: Converting decimal to hexa-
decimal, page 82).

Note
It is only possible to set the bus address in the address
section of the SAI. Any alterations made to the bus
address during operations will be recognised and
adopted following the next reset (turning off the power
supply).
The factory-set default bus address on the SAI is 03.

A table is available in the Appendix C to aid
conversion of decimal to hexadecimal ad-
dresses.

Setting the Bluetooth gateway address
The Bluetooth side of the gateway only needs to have a
network address specified. The node address at the
gateway is always 0 and cannot be changed. The rotary
switch NA and jumper J 1 are used to establish the
address and SAI address range.

The table on the right lists the exact functioning of the
net-selection switch (NA). Network addresses from 1 to
31 can be assigned.

5.1. Device Data Base Files (GSD) and bitmap files
GSD files (device database files)

GSD files are the electronic data sheets of a device that
provide a PROFIBUS master with straightforward in-
formation about the characteristics of the PROFIBUS
DP field device.

The information in these files includes:
The supported transmission rates
The length of the input and output data to be ex-
changed
The meaning of the diagnostics parameters and
the application parameters
The field device type
The supported services

The files are provided with the file extension gsd.

The following data is valid for the SAI-AU BT GW 12DI
PROFIBUS gateway:

ID number: 0A75
GSD file (device database file): WIAU0A75.GSD
Version: 14

Bitmap files
Symbols are made available for display in the hardware configurator. The name of the bitmap file for normal operations is
WIAU_BTN.DIB. The name of the bitmap file for diagnostics is WIAU_BTS.DIB.

WIAU_BTN.DIB WIAU_BTS.DIB
Figure 37: Bitmaps for hardware configurator

How the GSD and bitmap files are used and their memory location depends on the con-
figuration tool being used. Hardware configuration is explained below, based on an ex-
ample using the programming software Simatic
Step7.

5.2. Copy the GSD files to the local directory
The GSD files are available for downloading free of
charge from Weidmllers homepage,
http://www.weidmueller.com/54266/Downloads/Softwar
e/SAI-Active-Data/cw_index.aspx?newsid=

The memory location of the GSD files is determined by
the installation routine of the Step7 programme. Usually,
this is below the installation directory
\Step7\S7DATA\GSD.

The necessary bitmap files are copied into the
\Step7\S7DATA\NSBMP directory.

52 Weidmller t 1073380000/1.3/08.09

5.3. Install the GSD files in Step7
Open the proper project in the programme Step7 and select the hardware configuration.

Figure 38: Installing the GSD file: step 1

Note

Close all Step7 applications before continu-
ing with the following commands.

Select the command Extras >Update Catalogue to update the contents of the catalogue in the hardware configurator.

When selecting the PROFIBUS-DB device, look under
PROFIBUS-DP => Additional field devices => Gateway => Bluetooth-Gateway for the Weidmller Bluetooth SAI modules.

5.4. Adding a BT-GW in the hardware configurator
The hardware configuration with a PROFIBUS DP-
enabled central processing unit (CPU 315-2 DP) has
been launched and a PROFIBUS DP master system
has been defined for this CPU.
You can now add individual devices to the PROFIBUS
DP master system. A pop-up window opens in which
the PROFIBUS address can be assigned. You can set
parameters on the Parameter tabbed page.

Note

Assign each PROFIBUS address only once.

Figure 41: Hardware configurator


The gateway which has been inserted now has slots
available for modules. Up to seven modules can be
added to these slots. A maximum of six devices can be
connected with Bluetooth. The seventh device or the
first device depicts 12 digital gateway inputs (digital
input: DI).

On PROFIBUS, these 12 DIs are connected via a 16-DI
identifier, since only a byte-by-byte assignment is pos-
sible.

An excerpt from a gateway is shown in the figure below.
In this example, all available module types are listed
once.
Note

According to the definition, the Gateway IOs
must occupy the first slot. No "holes" are
allowed in the slot list. The SAIs must be
listed in the proper order according to their
identifiers (node numbers).

Figure 42: The gateway slot list

These modules are stored in the GSD file. They are
assigned the application parameters in this file. There
are a total of four modules in the selection list: the
Gateway-IOs 12DI, a SAI 16DI, a SAI 16DI/8DO and a
SAI 4AI/2AO/4DI.

Note

The Universal Module is a Step7 attachment
and cannot be deleted.

Figure 43: Module types
56 Weidmller t 1073380000/1.3/08.09

5.5. Assigning the input and output addresses
Each PROFIBUS DP device is already automatically
assigned an address, with which data is exchanged
with the PLC programme.
You can accept or alter these addresses. The quickest
method is to double-click the address bar of the se-
lected device. Then it is possible to select the starting
address.

5.6. Configuration and setting parameters
The functionality for all modules is defined via one or several configuration bytes in the configuration menu. To access
this menu click Edit =>Object properties =>Configure properties.

Acti vates the DESINA function
Bits 0 to 7 set the DESINA diagnostics of the connec-
tions 1 to 8. The DESINA diagnostics functionality is
activated if the corresponding bit is set to 1. If the
DESINA diagnostic functionality is activated, the con-
nection at pin 4 acts as a DESINA diagnostics input.
The connection at pin 2 is then the switch input to be
monitored.

Bits 0 to 7 1 =DESINA functionality ON
Bits 0 to 7 0 =DESINA functionality OFF
Table 39: DESINA parameters

Defines the function of the connection point as
input or output
The input of bit 0 to bit 7 sets the functionality of pin 2 of
the connections 1 to 8 as well as 1 to 16 of the M8
connection. Setting this bit to 1 activates the output.
Set to this status, short-circuits to earth and +24 V DC
will be recognised and reported in the diagnostics.

Bits 0 to 7 1=connection pin 2 is INPUT
Bits 0 to 7 0=connection pin 2 is OUTPUT
Table 40: Reversal of input and output

Defines how the outputs react when there is a bus
malfunction.
The entries for Bit 0 to Bit 7 determine for each output if
it enters a safe status or if it retains the last status. If
this bit is set to 1, the output retains the last status that
prevailed before the bus error occurred. The safe status
is defined in byte 5

Bits 0 to 7 1 =OUTPUT goes into safe
status
Bits 0 to 7 0 =OUTPUT retains most recent
status
Table 41: Behaviour when bus malfunction occurs

Defines the safe status of outputs
The entries for Bit 0 to Bit 7 determine for each output if
it is ON or OFF when in the safe status.

Bits 0 to 7 1 =OUTPUT switches ON
Bits 0 to 7 0 =OUTPUT switches OFF

Configuration of the analogue inputs

The four analogue inputs are set with two bits respec-
tively.
The first bit defines the type of measurement as voltage
or current measurement; the second bit sets the meas-
urement range in accordance with the selected meas-
urement.

Bit 0 0 =analogue input 0 VOLTAGE measurement
1 =analogue input 0 CURRENT measurement
Bit 1 0 =analogue input 0 measurement range 0 to
10 V or 0 to 20 mA
1 =analogue input 0 measurement range
10 V to +10 V or 4 to 20 mA
10 V or 0 to 20 mA
10 V to +10 V or 4 to 20 mA
10 V or 0 to 20 mA
10 V to +10 V or 4 to 20 mA

Manufacturer diagnostics information
The manufacturers diagnostics information can be
composed of one or more bytes. The manufacturer
determines the amount and their content.
For SAI modules, these include various diagnostic
information depending on the type of module; a part of
this information has to be activated by parameterisation.
An overview of the diagnostic bytes is given below;
these bytes are counted after the standard diagnostics
information byte 6.

The gateway is structured modularly with up to seven
modules. Seven universal modules are established in
the diagnostics data so that each module can be added
to each gateway position.

6.3. Evaluating diagnostic data in Step7
Whereas the data for inputs and outputs can be ex-
changed and processed directly in Step7 with
PROFIBUS via the input and output image, diagnostic
data must be read into the application programme with
an SFC.

Diagnostics data (slave diagnostics) of a DP slave is
read with the SFC 13 "DPNRM_DG".

Figure 48: Diagnostics function block

Input variables:
REQ =1: Request to read
LADDR: Planned diagnostics address of the DP slave; this can be read in the hardware con-
figurator.
Note: The address must be entered in hexadecimal, for example, the diagnostic
address 1022 (3FEH) means: LADDR: =W#16#3FE
Output variables:
RET_VAL RET_VAL contains the length of the actual transmitted data.
If an error occurs when the function is being processed, the return value contains an
error code.
RECORD Target range for the read diagnostic data.
The minimum length of the data record to be read or the target range is 6.
BUSY =1 The read operation has not been completed
Table 53: Diagnostics function block

In the example above, 10 bytes following the flag byte M 120.0 are reserved as target range of the diagnostics data for
an SAI-AU M12 PB 16DI. These are divided up as follows:
Standard diagnostics information
MB 120 Byte 0 Station status 1
MB 123 Byte 3 Diag. master address
MB 124 Byte 4 Ident number (high byte)
MB 125 Byte 5 Ident number (low byte)

Manufacturer diagnostics information
MB 126 Byte 6 The number of bytes of the manufacturers diagnostics, in-
cluding this byte.
MB 127 Byte 7 MSB software version (high byte)
MB 128 Byte 8 LSB software version (low byte)
MB 129 Byte 9 Short-circuit at +24 V DC sensor voltage
MB 130 Byte 10 Error message for DESINA diagnostics

Accuracy
Bit accuracy is a measure of the exactness of digital
measurement and calculation operations. With an accu-
racy of 8 bit, for example, 1 byte corresponds to an accu-
racy of 1/(2^8) =1/256 or 0.390625% steps. This is par-
ticularly important when converting from an analogue
signal to a digital value if the measurement value of a
sensor (temperature, pressure or similar) is to undergo
further digital processing.
AI
Please see Analogue input
Analogue input
Analogue input detects analogue signals as voltage sig-
nals from 0 to 10 V or as current signals from 0 to 20 mA
or 4 to 20 mA; resolution is generally 10 or 12 bit, 16 bit
representation.
Analogue output
Analogue input control variable as analogue signal; volt-
age signals from 0 to 10 V or -10 V to +10 V or as current
signals from 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA; resolution is gen-
erally 10 or 12 bit, representation 16 bit representation.
AO
Please see Analogue output
AUX IN
Power supply, 24 VDC feed in
AUX OUT
Power supply, 24 VDC feed out
Baud rate
The baud rate describes the number of signal codes
(symbol) that can be transmitted per second.
Bitmap file
This is an image file or graphic consisting of pixels; with
black and white information. Each bit corresponds to an
information unit and can consequently code a pixel. For
display purposes in the hardware configurator, bitmap
files in DIB format with 70 x 40 pixels are recommended.
Bus / power section
This is the section on the SAI to which the Fieldbus and
the supply voltage are connected.
BUS IN
PROFIBUS connection module, feed in. It is fully con-
nected to Bus OUT.
BUS OUT
PROFIBUS connection, bus feed out. It is fully connected
to Bus IN.
Bus termination
Install the bus terminations at the physical beginning and
physical end, according to the PROFIBUS standard, with
one bus termination each.
Bus termination
An active bus termination must be fitted at the beginning
and end of each PROFIBUS segment. The termination
consists of a combination of resistances. To function cor-
rectly, it requires a 5-V supply voltage that is normally
made available by each PROFIBUS device.
Coding A
Special coding for male or female M12 connectors for
purposes of recognition and non-reversal. On SAI mod-
ules, coding A is utilised for the power supply as well as
inputs and outputs. B-coding is specified for the
PROFIBUS Fieldbus.
Coding B
Special coding for male or female M12 connectors for
purposes of recognition and non-reversal. Coding B is
used for the PROFIBUS-DP Fieldbus.

Diagnostic telegrams indicate the status of the
PROFIBUS-DP slave. A diagnostic telegram is composed
of six bytes of standard diagnostics information as well as
the manufacturers diagnostics information. The number
of bytes required for the manufacturers diagnostics var-
ies from module to module.
Diagnostics data
Diagnostics data is transmitted in a diagnostics telegram.
This information is differentiated between standard diag-
nostics information (6 bytes) and vendor diagnostics in-
formation, the length of which depends on the vendor.
Diagnostics input DESINA
DESINA is an abbreviation for DistributEd and Standard-
ised INstAllation technology for machine tools and manu-
facturing systems. DESINA describes the specification for
standardising the electric, hydraulic and pneumatic instal-
lation of automated machine tools and manufacturing
systems. DESINA diagnostics input supplies diagnostic
information in addition to the digital input signal.

Frequency converter
A frequency converter generates an alternating current of
a certain frequency from an alternating current of a differ-
ent frequency and may also alter the voltage; it makes it
possible to adjust rotational speeds. In particular for
three-phase motors, frequency converters are an eco-
nomic form of control.
Functional earth
The functional earth serves to discharge compensating
and interference currents in order to guarantee EMC
characteristics. According to VDE 0100, the functional
earth is not the same as the protective earth; it is forbid-
den to use it as the protective earth.

J1
Designation for a special jumper field used to link supply
voltages.
Jumpers
J umpers are used to configure electronic sub-assemblies
or set operating parameters that are carried out either
rarely or only once during initial commissioning proce-
dures.
The jumper is usually made of a small metal plate and a
plastic housing. It is plugged into two pins which results in
an electrical contact being created via the metal plates.
Generally, that results in the function of the hardware com-
ponent being activated, deactivated or configured.

nectors as inputs or outputs, as well as define the ana-
logue measurement ranges as a current or voltage input.
Parameterisation
Term used to describe assigning parameters with a
parameterisation or programming tool.
PE
Please see Protective earth.
Peripheral devices
These are devices outside of a central processing unit;
with Fieldbus systems, this also applies to all devices in
the Fieldbus.

PLC is the acronym for Programmable Logic Controller
Plug and Play
Sometimes written as Plug 'n' Play or Plug & Play; it de-
scribes the characteristics of modern, mostly peripheral
devices that are immediately available for use without
having to first install a programme.
Polling
The generally recognised term for "to poll" or query. The
poll function is an operating mode of Fieldbus devices in
a Fieldbus system.
Power supply
Electrical loads require a voltage supply to provide the
power. In control systems, the supply voltage used is 24
VDC.
Please see voltage range.
Power supply
Voltage with which the device is supplied. The power
supply in automation engineering is usually 18 to 24 VDC.
PROFIBUS
(PROcess FIeld BUS) is a part of the international stan-
dards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784. Physically, PROFIBUS
is either an electrical network based on a shielded, two-
1073380000/1.3/08.09 Weidmller t 93

conductor cable or an optical network based on a fibre
optics cable.
PROFIBUS guidelines
Vendor-independent compatibility is guaranteed by tech-
nical guidelines to ensure implementation of PROFIBUS
technology. The technical guidelines are published and
distributed centrally by the PROFIBUS User Organisation
(PUO) to underline the fact that these are effectively a
standard. Diverse PROFIBUS guidelines are available,
for example: the "Optical transfer technology for
PROFIBUS".
PROFIBUS slave
PROFIBUS slaves exchange data cyclically with a
PROFIBUS master. In addition, parameterization, con-
figuration and, in the case of a malfunction, diagnostic
data is transmitted. Typical PROFIBUS slaves include
connection terminals, repeaters, gateways, communica-
tion terminals, valve blocks and others.
PROFIBUS User Organisation
More than 260 vendors and users of the standardised
communication system PROFIBUS have come together
in the registered association PROFIBUS User Organisa-
tion (PUO) to jointly support further technical improve-
ments and establish the use of the technology interna-
tionally. The PROFIBUS User Organisation is a regis-
tered association. Membership is open to any company or
research facility anywhere in the world.
PROFIBUS-DP
This is a special application for automating factory pro-
duction. DP =Decentralised Periphery
PROFIBUS-DP address
With the PROFIBUS address you determine at which
address your SAI distributor will be identified on
PROFIBUS-DP.
PROFIBUS-FMS
This is utilised for the universal, object-oriented, cyclic
and acyclic exchange of data at a medium speed. FMS is
particularly suitable for exchanging data between intelli-
gent slaves such as PCs and PLCs. PROFIBUS-DP and
PROFIBUS-PA are special variants.
FMS =Fieldbus Message Specification
PROFIBUS-Master
PROFIBUS-DP differentiates between Class 1 and Class
2 masters. The Class 2 master is utilised for parameteri-
zation of PROFIBUS slaves by means of software; it is
mainly used to set the PROFIBUS address. As well as
exchanging data with the slave, the Class 1 master sup-
plies the PROFIBUS slave with configuration and pa-
rameter data.
PROFIBUS-PA
This is used to control field devices by means of a proc-
ess control system in the processing industry. This variant
of PROFIBUS is used in hazardous areas (Ex-Zone 0 &
1). Low currents only are used so that no sparks flash-
over in the case of a malfunction; it uses a slower data
transmission rate.
PA=Process Automation
Protecti ve earth
Protective earth conductors are often used in electrical
equipment and cable lines. This is also known as the pro-
tective lead, earth, earth connection or PE (protective
earth).
The task of the protective earth conductor in electrical
systems is to protect human beings from dangerous
touch voltages as well as to protect the system from
damage. The PE conductor is fitted in such a manner that
there is an electrical connection between the outer metal
housing of the electrical equipment (for example lamps,
fridges, motors).
Should a fault occur and the electrical supply voltage
comes into contact with the exterior of a piece of electrical
equipment, the short-circuit to ground via the PE conduc-
tor should ensure that the voltage between the housing of
the respective electrical equipment and the ground (with
which humans and animals are generally in contact) is
reduced to a harmless level.
At the same time, the high short-circuit currents trip the
fuse. That ensures that the electrical equipment with the
fault is disconnected extremely quickly from the supply
voltage.
German regulations stipulate that the PE conductor must
be identifiable by the colour combination green/yellow.
Repeater
Repeaters are necessary in order to create a CAN net-
work with more than 32 stations or establish a larger net-
work extension. The repeater represents the beginning of
a new segment in which the maximum number of stations
can be used or the maximum extension is defined.
Rotary coding switch
94 Weidmller t 1073380000/1.3/08.09

Requiring a minimum of space, rotary coding switches
are used to make settings. These settings are usually
coded in decimal or hexadecimal formats.
RS-485
As a so-called differential voltage interface, the RS-485
interface operates with +5V (high) and 0V (low) by which
the non-inverted signal is transmitted via one wire and the
inverted (or negative) signal via the other wire. As distor-
tions have the same effect on both signals, the difference
between both signals remains (virtually) the same and
can be used for evaluation purposes.
An RS-485 connection constitutes a serial data transmis-
sion, which means the bits are transmitted one after the
other on a line.
SAI
The acronym SAI stands for Sensor Actuator Inter-
face. It is a compact-designed distributor or collector of
signal lines.
SAI distributor
Please see SAI.
Sampling period
The sampling period determines in which time interval an
analogue input is converted. The sampling period for the
SAI-AU AI/AO/DI can be set between 5 ms and 250 ms.
Segment
The PROFIBUS network consists of one or more seg-
ments. The maximum extension of a segment depends
on the baud rate being used. Up to 32 PROFIBUS sta-
tions can be connected in each segment.
Settings section
Range on the SAI in which the configuration of the hard-
ware is carried out; for example, the module address.
Shielding
Shielding is necessary to protect cables from radiated
noise disturbances.
Simatic Step7
STEP 7 is the current programming software used for the
Simatic S7 PLC family of products from Siemens; this is a
family of controls for PLC based automation systems.
In accordance with IEC 61131-3, the basic version of
STEP 7 includes the programming languages:

Temperature coefficient
The temperature coefficient is a relative change to a
physical variable resulting from a change in temperature
of 1 K (Kelvin).
Torx screwdriver
Torx is an improvement to the cross-head screw and
hexagon-socket (Allen) as a tool receiving socket, for
example in counter-sunk screws.
The profile is similar to a six-pointed star with rounded off
points and corners more or less a wave form. The com-
pany Camcar belongs to the Textron Group and is the
inventor and patent holder. In the meantime, the Torx
patent has run out and the hexalobular internal drive fea-
ture has been incorporated in international standards.
T-piece
A t-piece is used to provide uninterrupted feed of the
supply voltage and the Fieldbus.
T-pieces are connected straight onto the consumer load
and interconnected with the supply voltage or Fieldbus by
means of male and female connectors.
Transmission rate
Please see Baud rate.
Voltage range
The voltage range of the 24 VDC supply voltage is 18
VDC to 30 VDC.
