From master to field device, PROFIBUS-DP offers a full range of connection possibilities. A small selection of the products available from the Siemens world of communications is shown below in Figure 1. Needless to say, PROFIBUS-compatible non-Siemens devices which are in conformance with the PROFIBUS standard can also form part of this system.
2.1 Design and mode of operation 2.1.1 Communication via PROFIBUS-DP 3VF circuit-breakers can communicate via PROFIBUS-DP by means of SIMOCODE-DP (Siemens Motor Protection And Control Device - Decentralized Peripherals, or product code 3UF5). This communication-capable branch is available for currents from 63 A to 800 A for circuit-breakers 3VF3 to 3VF7.

The SIMOCODE-DP identification can be read into the bus master in the form of type or GSD files. The following list specifies which file is required for each master: File allocation list: si8031_d.200: Type file (German) for Siemens master only (e.g. IM308C ...) si8031gd.200: Type file (German) for Siemens master only (S5-95) siem8031.GSD...
