Description
This document describes the installation, configuration and maintenance of the Profibus-DP
based network using Altus ' Series Ponto I/O system and the CPU Rockwell ControlLogix.
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the main Series Ponto's characteristics and it's components
for a distributed Profibus-DP network.
Chapter 2, Installation, lists the necessary material for the assembly of a distributed I/O
system, based in Altus and ControlLogix equipment.
Chapter 3, Configuration, presents all the steps needed to create a distributed I/O prject,
using software RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell, and how to configure and setup the equipment
which composes the network.
Chapter 4, Maintenance, shows how to verify the functioning of the system and the handling
of the messages of diagnostics proceeding from it.
1. Introduction
The Ponto Series is a distributed control system with remote I/O. It possesss a flexible
architecture that allows the access to the remote modules through different standards of
fieldbuses.
The I/O modules and standardized fieldbuses heads can in such a way be used with CPUs
Altus as well with CPUs from other manufacturers.
Therefore, PROFIBUS DP head from Altus - PO5063 - can be easily linked to a CPU 1756-
L1 5550 from Rockwell, and control remote I/O modules, as it illustrates the figure to
follow.
The maintenance of a PROFIBUS DP remote unit is facilitated by the extensive diagnostics
and the hot swap of all the I/O modules, features of the Ponto Series.

3.1 PROFIBUS Network Project
To create a project and to configure a distributed I/O PROFIBUS DP network, software
RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell must be used, therefore the CPU 1756-L1 will be the master
of the network.
It will not be described here the process of installation and functioning authorization of
software RSLogix 5000. It will be consider that the same is already installed, configured and
functioning perfectly in a computer.
Software RSLogix 5000 used in the development below is V10.00.00 version

(11) Insert the PO5063 head, PROFIBUS slave, from the hardware catalogue. To insert the
PO5063 head it can be drag its icon from the catalogue and drop it on the Profibus network,
or, after selecting the PROFIBUS DP network doublecilck the PO5063 Head icon form the
catalogue.
(11.1) Define the slave address in the field Station, following PO5063 module address.
Each PROFIBUS equipment has specific parameters, defined by its manufacturers, which are
listed in the equipment's GSD file.

(13.1) Put the configurator on OnLine mode.
(14) With the sacnner fully configurated turn the PLC to Excecution Mode.
OBS: For every change made on the scanner with the SST configurator in OnLine Mode the
PLC must be in programming mode.
To avoid PO5063 head to generate functioning state informations as diagnostics messages
the Dianosis Messages parameter of the Head should be set as desired.
3.2 PROFIBUS Parameterization
The Ponto Series modules need configuration parameters that define its functioning.
Common parameters (parameters for the head) and specific parameters for each module
exist. The parameters are specified in GSD file.
PO5063 Head possesss as common parameters the bytes defined in the table to follow.

4. Maintenance
The maintenance of the modules is simplified by the type base used, the availability of hot
swap and by the extensive information of diagnostics, all features of the Ponto Series.
The disgnostic generation of failures, errors or operation modes, make possible for the
operator to identify and to solve problems, that might come to occur with the system, very
easily.
4.1 Diagnosis LEDs
All the modules of the Ponto Series presents LEDs to visually and quickly inform, without
the use of tools, the functioning state of the modules.
There is a LED, identified by DG, thats present in every intelligent module of Series Ponto,
that indicates any abnormality or exceptional functioning that is occurring, through an
intermittent code (blink).
The DG dianosis LED of all the Ponto Series I/O modules is standardized, and blinks up to
5 times in 8, indicating the diagnostics accordind to the table below:
DG LED state
On, steady The module is configured and being normaly accessed by the Master.
Blinking 1x The module is not being accessed from the [Link] this situation,
the module does not light its outputs either.
Blinking 2x Burnt Fuse.
Blinking 3x Failure in the 24V external source
Blinking 4x Module has diagnostics (channels).
Blinking 5x Not used (stand by).
Off, steady It should never happen. It can only occur if there is a defect on the
module, LED or the module is not connected to the bus.
For an full description of the LEDs of the board frontal of the head, its descriptions,
meanings and possible causes, to consult the messages of diagnostics of the chapter of
maintenance of the manual of use of head PO5063.
4.2 Diagnosis Messages
The diagnostics messages, or diagnostics words, can be visualized through IHMs of FOTON
series or programmers, linked to the Head, using its RS232 serial channel.
These words of diagnostics are mapped in the application memory of PO5063 head, on
M512 through M641 memory operand, totalizing 210 M operands or 420 bytes: first 20
bytes with diagnostics of the system, followed by 40 segments of 10 bytes with the
diagnostics of the modules (a segment for each position of module in GBL bus).

For an full description of the words of diagnostics through RS232 serial channel, consult the
appendix of disgnostic through serial channel from PO5063 Head Uswers Manual.
The diagnostics messages also are transferred from the slave to PROFIBUS DP Network's
Master, and are available to be treated for the application or to be visualized through the
network's configurators.
To visualize the diagnostics messages, open SST configurator in Online Mode. After that,
select the Slave whose diagnostics is desired to verify, click with the right button of mouse
and select Properties Æ Diagnostics.
