Profibus - Manual
AERtronic AS 300 V1.07 and later
The Profibus EM5 Module works with 64 word input and 8 word output data.

Data from client to AERtronic:

1. Byte Acknowledge status

Place this byte to hex value „ 5A“ and the most recent status will be acknowledged. It
is recommended to only enter this value in the register for 1-2 seconds and then to
overwrite it with hex value „ 00“.

2. Byte: Remote on / off

Bit 0: compressor on
Bit 1 – Bit 6: 0
Bit 7: release or enable compressor on / off
The remote on / off control will only be active if the controller parameters have been
set to active and the release Bit 7 has been set. When properly activated the local on /
off screen buttons show a lock symbol and the machine may be started with Bit 0 = 1
and stopped with Bit 0 = 0. The parameter “remote on/off” must set to
“Modbus/Profibus”. (main menu  control  misc.  remote on/off)

3. Byte Remote pressure control

Bit 0: remote pressure control on
Bit 1 – Bit 6: 0
Bit 7: release or enable remote pressure control
The remote pressure control will only be active if the controller parameters have been
set to active and the release Bit 7 has been set.
In this case the pressure control may be activated with Bit 0. Bit 0 = 1 will put the
compressor into load mode or it starts from standby mode in case the shut-down-
operation (main menu  control system misc.  operation mode) has been set. Set
Bit 0 = 0 then the machine will go into unload and idle mode and will place it into
standby mode (main motor off) upon elapsing the “minimum run-on time” (main menu
 machine parameter). The shut-down-operation must be set to active also.
 

4. Byte Remote pressure set value

Bit 0 – Bit 5: 0
Bit 6: release or enable remote RPM set value
Bit 7: release or enable remote pressure set value
The pressure set value is only active if Bit 7 is set. Within this value the set value may
 be provided in Byte 5 and 6.
The RPM set value is only active if Bit 6 is set. Within this value the RPM may be
controlled with Byte 7 and 8. The RPM will only be visible/ displayed once the main
motor has reached at least min speed. This is also for the HMI display; at standstill the
value would be e.g. 0%.

5. Byte: \ Actual pressure set value [mbar] / word (16bit) integer

6. Byte: /

7. Byte: \ Actual RPM set value [0,1 %] / word (16bit) integer

8. Byte: / The information [0,1 %] refers to the decimal point. Example: At a speed
demand of 45,8% the value 458 must be transmitted

Data from AERtronic to client:

Shutdown status message: 

With an active shut down the corresponding Bit is set =1. In the attached list all possible shut downs
or trips are detailed. Which ones are selected depends on the type of machine (i.e. Blower,
Compressor single stage, or two stage) and the chosen configuration.
Principle:
- Trip signals must lead to the shutdown of the drive motor
- The designation 2 indicates a 2 stage machine
- All configured analog inputs have an alarm sensor (signal failure)
- All configured analog inputs with limit values have an alarm or shut down signal
