8.1 Profibus Slave: Configuration and Parametrization
The ARE K1 / PFB has one configuration only. Only the seven standard Profibus parameters are de-
fined. So it is not necessary, to handle with device specific parameters (User_Prm_data).
If the device is parametrized successfully it is ready for data tranfer. The green LED indicator "Run" is
on.
Attention !
Inside of a network line, it’s not allowed to install more then 32 reader devices.
The red LED indicator "BusFail“ has to be off, otherwise an error has occured.
The information about the data tranfer protocoll is documented in a special manual [2] : Profibus-DP
Communication.
9 Modes of Operating and Commands of the Reader
Only one mode of operating is defined for the ARE K1 / PFB:
• mode 2 - reading triggered by the PLC
This mode is specified in the next subchapter briefly. Beyond that we refer you to the much more de-
tailed description in [1] : Set of Commands for ARE K1.
9.1 Set of Commands
The reader supports the AEG ID Standardized Command Set (ASB). Due to the specific operating re-
quirements in the deterministic Profibus process, the amount of commands and parameters of the
ARE K1 / PFB have been reduced as specified below.
