Hi, Need some help in analyzing the following configuration. ( Check the attachment ) We have a PCS7 (417-4H) System and the following are the slaves that will be connected on the profibus network. Total No. of IM153-2 = 8 Total No.of Y-Links = (Ylink 1 = 23 Simocodes, Ylink 2 = 20 Simocodes , Ylink3 = 9 Simcodes + 5 Softstarters, Ylink 5 = 2 VFDs, Ylink6 = 16 VFDs, Ylink7 = 4Simocodes + 3 Softstarters + 4 VFDs ) The entire DCS , I/O Panel, Softstarters, VFDs & MCC and within a distance of 250meters. My only doubt is whether I should use any profibus repeaters??? Going by the rule, we have to insert repeater at every 32 node. Should I include the VFD’s, Simocodes & Softstarters in the node calculation, if so then in the configuration attached at which points should I insert repeaters???
