The PROFIBUS-DP I/O channel supports up to 112 SIMATIC and third-party DP I/O slaves.
Setup and Installation RBC Placement in The 505 PROFIBUS-DP RBC resides in a Series 505 base. Install it in the Base second slot from the left, adjacent to the power supply module. See Figure 2. Figure 2 Location of RBC in a Series 505 Base The 500 PROFIBUS-DP RBC resides in a Series 500 base.
Installing and Use the following steps to install the 505–6870 RBC in a Series 505 base or Removing the RBC to install the 500–6870 RBC in a Series 500 base. WARNING Installing or removing an RBC from a powered-up base disrupts your process and can damage the RBC.
To connect your RBC to a programming device/modem, use a standard 9-pin RS-232 serial cable that conforms at a minimum to the pinouts shown in Figure 4. A standard cable that conforms to the minimum requirements is available through Siemens; specify part number 2601094–8001. Programming Device/Modem RBC RS-232/423...

Baud Rate for the Switches 1 through 3 on the dipswitch control the baud rate of the RS-232 Port RS-232/423 port. Table 2 lists the baud rates available. Invalid selections cause the RBC to report an error on the Status Display and cause the RS-232/423 port to default to 9600 baud.

Dipswitch Options (continued) Reset Pushbutton The RESET pushbutton on the front of the RBC is deliberately recessed to prevent accidental activation. When you press this button, a global reset is immediately performed on the RBC. After completing reset, the RBC assumes the RS-232 baud rate stipulated by the setting of switches 1 through 3 on the dipswitch, and the station address indicated by switches 4 through 10.

When the CPU logs an RBC off the system, it sets a corresponding bit in one of the status words that are available to your RLL program. Your RLL program can use these bits to detect the loss of the RBC and control the outputs of other bases as appropriate for your application.
Action: None. Serious malfunction. Action: Place the system in a safe state and Diagnostic Failure None consult Siemens Technical Support. (In the U.S.A., call 423–461–2522.) I/O modules installed in this base do not match the expected configuration in the PROFIBUS-DP master.

Parameters Set by Software Setting User The PROFIBUS-DP RBC has parameters that are specified using the Parameters for the COM PROFIBUS configuration utility software. Refer to the SIMATIC 505 PROFIBUS-DP RBC TISOFT2 User Manual and the SIMATIC S5 ET 200 Distributed I/O System Manual for information about using COM PROFIBUS.
Diagnostic Data Reported by the RBC PROFIBUS-DP The standard for PROFIBUS-DP I/O, DIN 19245, Part 3, stipulates the Diagnostic Bytes format that each DP slave shall use to report specific diagnostics to the DP master. The diagnostics used by the 505/500 PROFIBUS-DP RBCs are described below.

Upgrading the Operating System Overview The operating system of the 505/500 PROFIBUS-DP RBC is contained in user-programmable non-volatile memory. An RBC with a previous release of the operating system can be reprogrammed with the latest release. You need a PC and a standard cable in order to reprogram the RBC. Contact the Technical Services Group for the appropriate upgrade files if you need to upgrade your RBC.
Connect your computer to the RBC with a standard 9-pin RS-232/423 null modem serial cable. This cable is available through your Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc., distributor: ask for SIMATIC 545/555 Programming Cable, part number 2601094–8001.
