The Allen-Bradley® 857 protection relays can be connected to the PROFIBUS
DP by using an external communications device 857-VPA3CG. The relay can
then be monitored from the host system.
PROFIBUS is a vendor-independent, open fieldbus standard for a wide range of
applications in manufacturing, process, and building automation. Vendor
independence and openness are guaranteed by the PROFIBUS standard EN
50170. With PROFIBUS, devices of different manufactures can communicate
without special interface adjustments. PROFIBUS can be used for both high-
speed time critical data transmission and extensive complex communication
tasks. The PROFIBUS family consists of three compatible versions that are
defined later in this manual.

    857-VPA3CG Profibus DP Option Module PROFIBUS-DP Optimized for high speed and inexpensive hook-up, this PROFIBUS version is designed especially for communication between automation control systems and distributed I/O at the device level. PROFIBUS-DP can be used to replace parallel signal transmission with 24V or 0...20 mA.
  • Page 3 857-VPA3CG Profibus DP Option Module The device calculates the needed buffer length. For example, if the device's display shows: InBuf 32 byte OutBuf 0 byte, select the corresponding module "INPUT: 32 Byte" from the .gsd file (for example, VPA_00F7.gsd) when configuring the PROFIBUS-DP master for this device.
  • Page 4: Request Mode

    857-VPA3CG Profibus DP Option Module Select the corresponding module "INPUT/OUTPUT: 64 Byte" from the .gsd file (for example, VPA_00F7.gsd) when configuring the PROFIBUS DP master for this device. The recommended maximum size for output buffer in continuous mode is IMPORTANT 64 bytes.
