AS 488 in SIMATIC design

Connection to CS 275

Connection to PROFIBUS-TM

Connection to CS 275

Connection to PROFIBUS-TM

■Overview

The AS 488/TM and the CS-L2 bridge can be connected to the CS 275 bus system via the TPM 478 interface module. Two func- tions are integrated on this interface module:

•CS 275 functionality

A powerful CPU processes the communications functions to the CS 275 bus system. The functionality of the TPM 478 inter- face module corresponds to the functionality of the standard N- AS local bus interface module in the AS 235 automation sys- tem. Exception: CD operation is not supported.

Note:

An AS 488/TM automation system can only be connected to one of the two PROFIBUS-TM or CS 275 system buses.

■Overview

See Section "Process I/Os" for components for connection of dis- tributed process I/Os such as the IF 964-DP interface module, optical link module for fiber-optic cables etc. via PROFIBUS-DP.

See Section "Bus communication" for components for connec- tion of the CS 275 and PROFIBUS-TM system buses.

See Sections "Coupling of systems" and "Bus communication" for components for connection of the PROFIBUS-AG/AG for cou- pling with SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7 automation systems.

■Ordering Data

Order No.

•TELEPERM I/O functionality

In the AS 488/TM automation system, the TPM 478 module to- gether with the TBX 478 module also provides the interfacing for the TELEPERM M I/Os. The two modules provide two I/O bus interfaces for TELEPERM M basic and extension cabinets, and supply the I/O bus logic with +5 V bus.

Only one TPM 478 module is required for both the CS 275 and TELEPERM M functionalities.
