General details about the assembly of communication modules as well as the setting
of the terminating resistors on the PSE modules you find in the SIPROTEC4 System
Manual (ref. to page 3).
1.1.3 Compatibility of the communication module hardware with PROFIBUS-DP
firmware versions and mapping files
Hardware and
firmware
Please note the following listed compatibility between the hardware revisions of the
communication modules and the PROFIBUS-DP firmware versions:
The PROFIBUS-DP firmware for communication modules from HW revision 4 is:
• function compatible with firmware versions for modules up to HW revision 3
(i.e. contains all there contained functionalities),
• offers additional functionalities, e.g.:
• display of module-specific information at the device (ref. to chap. 1.2),
• OLM V3 compatibility mode with fibre-optical modules (ref to chap. 2.1.2).
