4.4 NOTES ON CONNECTING PROFIBUS BOARDS FOR THE
Power Mate i
When axis control card C is specified for the Power Mate i, there are
restrictions on connection of FANUC PROFIBUS-DP boards.
1) When the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master or Slave board is
used
Connect the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP board to slot 2 (upper slot)
of the Power Mate i to use the board.
2) When the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master and Slave boards are
used together
Connect the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master board to slot 2
(upper slot) of the Power Mate i and the Slave board to slot 1
(lower slot).
For this Slave board, the bus connector manufactured by
Siemens cannot be used as the cable-end connector. Use a 9-pin
D-Sub male connector up to 13.1 mm high as the cable-end 9-pin
D-Sub connector. (See Section 1.4.) When the connector is not
located at the end of the line, connect two wires, referencing
Section 1.5. When it is located at the end of the line, connect a
terminating resistor, referencing Section 1.6.
NOTE
1 If a PROFIBUS-DP board is connected to slot 1
(lower slot), a bus connector manufactured by
Siemens interferes with the optical connector of axis
control card C.
2 The specifications of axis control card C for the
Power Mate i are A02B-0259-H021 to A02B-0259-
H024. With an axis control card for the Power Mate i
added following axis control card C, the same
restrictions as with axis control card C are put on
connection of FANUC PROFIBUS-DP boards.
