Device Management PROFIBUS & HART
234 3BDS011222-510 B
• Function block types, except hidden function block types
Details of entities and reservation are described in System 800xA Engineering,
Engineering and Production Environments (3BSE045030*).
Fieldbus Topology in the 800xA System
Once an 800xA system has been started, a fieldbus topology starting at the
controller and ending at the field device can be created in the Control Structure of
Plant Explorer workplace. Starting with the root node, the simplest example of a
fieldbus system for PROFIBUS and HART is set up as follows:
Control Network > Control Project > Controller Group > Controller Hardware
Group > (ModuleBus or CI854) > Field Devices
Pre-configuration of AC 800M Controller
To enable communication for a field device with a (Device Type Manager) DTM, an
additional setting must be made for each AC 800M controller in Plant Explorer
Control Structure.
Online and offline engineering for PROFIBUS and HART devices requires a
reservation of the main entity object in the 800xA Plant Explorer Control
Structure.
As the Operator user role does not have permissions to reserve an entity, it may
not be possible to open certain DTMs with the Operator user role. Set a higher
access right to the Operator role, if applicable.
PROFIBUS and HART device types installed in an enabled environment
supported 800xA system, are located in the Production Environment only. To
have installed device types also available in Engineering Environments, they have
to be synchronized by the user manually.
PROFIBUS and HART device types in an Engineering Environment can be
accessed in offline configuration only.
