Appendix A Other Communication Modules
In-rack Interface Cards for
S5 rack
To put the remote S5 I/O on the Profibus DP network, a Profibus DP slave
card has to be installed in the remote S5 rack.
If a S5 IM-308-C module is installed, the addressing needs to be configured
with the Com Profibus software package. Because these cards are obsolete,
third-party modules can also be used to put the S5 I/O on the Profibus DP
network.

To provide a S5 rack connectivity to a Profibus DP network ,the following
module can be used.
Open5-135U
This interface card can be slotted in a S5 rack to connect to S5 I/O modules
not yet available on the Profibus network. The OPEN5 board supports most
S5 digital input and output modules. However, intelligent I/O cards are not
compatible with the OPEN5 Board.
The card supports DPV0. The words that can be read/written simultaneously
depends on the number of I/O words (number and type of cards). The limit is
244 bytes per partner (DPV0 limitation) and it operates on all Profibus data
rates up to 12 Mbps. A maximum total input data size of 1984 bytes and
output size of 1976 bytes combined, for DP master and slave.
The response time depends on the speed of communication, the number of
partners on the bus, and the number of I/O cards in the S5 rack; the minimum
time is 10 ms.
