3. Hardware Connections
The FieldServer is equipped with a SST 5136-PFB-ISA interface card, which has a standard
Profibus DB-9 interface available for connection to the Profibus network. If the FieldServer is
located at an end of the network, termination will be required. For more information on Profibus
cables and connections, please refer to the documentation provided on the SST CD.
WARNING: Improper cabling can cause physical layer problems that are hard to diagnose.
The FieldServer is connected to the Profibus DP as shown in the connection drawing below:

3.1. Hardware Troubleshooting
During initialization, the Profibus DP driver checks for the 5136-PFB-ISA hardware and
checks for any conflicts with other hardware. If any errors occur during initialization, an
entry in the error log will be produced.
3.2. SST Profibus card LEDs
There are two LEDs on the SST Profibus Card. When operating normally the COM LED
should remain solid green. Any communications errors will cause it to flash red for at least
one second. The SYS LED shows the status of both the master and slave. If using either
the slave or master, the SYS LED will show green if all is ok, amber if all is ok but the bus is
running in program mode, and red if there is a problem. If running both master and slave,
the LED will sequence through the master status, the slave status and then off.
