Introduction

The PROFIBUS OBT (Optical Bus Terminal) is a network component for use in

optical PROFIBUS DP fieldbus networks. It allows the attachment of a single

device without an integrated optical interface to the optical PROFIBUS DP. The

following figure illustrates a typical configuration.

2) Plastic FO cable or PCF FO cable with two fibers

Introduction

1-2 PROFIBUS Optical Bus Terminal (OBT)

C79000-G8976-C122-03

Connections

The connection between the individual nodes takes the form of an optical bus with

two-fiber plastic FO cables (plastic fiber-optic cables are also known as POF,

Polymer Optical Fiber) or PCF FO cables (PCF = Polymer Cladded Fiber,

corresponds to HCS 1) fiber-optic cable). Since fiber-optic cables are

completely insensitive to electromagnetic disturbance, no grounding concept

whatsoever is necessary. For the same reason, equipotential bonding is also not

necessary. The optoelectronic conversion provides automatic isolation so that

differences in potential as can occur in extensive systems have no effect.

1) HCSis a registered trademark of Ensign-Bickford Optics

Company and stands for “Hard Polymer Cladded Silica Fiber”.

Sensitivity

Just as fiber-optic cable is insensitive to electromagnetic noise, a fiber-optic cable

emits no electromagnetic noise into the environment. Sensitive electronic devices

close to the fiber-optic cable therefore need no additional protection or noise

suppression.

Power Supply

The OBT requires an operating power supply of 24 V direct voltage that is

connected via two terminal screws.

Operating Mode

LEDs signal the current mode and any problems in operation.

Mechanical Design

The optical bus terminal consists of a compact plastic casing which can be

installed either on a standard rail or on any flat surface.

Functional Description

The OBT is a repeater with 3 channels.

3.1 Interfaces

The OBT has the following interfaces for attachment to PROFIBUS DP segments:

Channel 1 (CH1) is an electrical RS-485 interface. This is implemented as a

9-pin D SUB female connector. A single PROFIBUS DP node can be connected

via this channel or a PC, PG or OP can be connected to the OBT. The

maximum permitted segment length is 100 m. The copper segment should,

however, be kept as short as possible since disturbances can be coupled into

the optical PROFIBUS DP from this segment.

Channel 2 (CH2) and channel 3 (CH3) are optical interfaces. They are designed

as duplex sockets. The end of a two-fiber plastic or PCF fiber-optic cable with

two simplex connectors is connected to each of these duplex sockets.

The OBT also has a block with three terminals for connecting the 24 V power

supply and, if necessary, a grounding conductor.

3.2 Optoelectric Signal Conversion and Signal Regeneration

The OBT converts the RS-485 level signal received at channel 1 into an optical

signal level that is then output via channel 2 and channel 3.

Signals received in channel 2 or 3 are converted to electrical signals and

output on channel 1 as an electrical signal

changed back to an optical signal and then output again on the other optical

channel.

The receive channels have no echo, in other words received signals are not sent

back on the same channel.

The OBT regenerates the signals in amplitude and time. This allows up to 126

modules to be cascaded in an optical bus. The cascading depth is limited solely by

the monitoring times of the attached devices.

The propagation delay per OBT is 6 bit times.

3.3 Automatic Transmission Rate Detection

The OBT supports all PROFIBUS transmission rates (12 Mbps , 6 Mbps, 3 Mbps,

1.5 Mbps, 500 Kbps and 187.5 Kbps, 93.75 Kbps, 45.45 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 9.6

Kbps).

The transmission rate is detected automatically. No settings are necessary.

3.4 Supported FO Fiber Types

The OBT supports the fiber types listed in the table below:

Table 3-1 Distance Covered by Fiber-optic Cable between Two Devices on the Optical

PROFIBUS DP

Fiber Type Distance Between Two Devices

Plastic FO 980/1000 µm with 2 fibers

and max. 200 dB/km cable attenuation

0.1 m to 50 m

PCF FO 200/230 µm with 2 fibers and

max. 10 dB/km cable attenuation

0 m to 300 m

The specified distances between the devices assume that the partner devices use

the same optical components as the OBT. This is, for example, the case with the

IM 153-2 FO, IM 467 FO and OLM 12M.

The transmission rate is independent of the type of fiber used and the cable length.

It can be up to 12 Mbps.

The following accessories are available:

Plastic FO cable (sold in meters), connectors, polishing set and tools for

connectoring plastic FO cables

The plastic fiber-optic cables are supplied with connectors. The plastic simplex

connectors can be fitted with the available tools on site.

PCF FO cable (with connectors)

PCF cables in fixed lengths are available with 4 simplex connectors already

fitted.

3.5 Displays

The OBT has 4 LEDs for displaying the various states.
