The 5136-PFB-VME card can:
act as a DP slave
act as a DP master
send and receive FDL (layer 2)messagesThe card supports simultaneous operation in all these modes.The card supports the standard ProfiBus baud rates of 9.6K, 19.2K,93.75K187.5K,500K,750K,1.5M, 3M, 6M and 12M baud.The card has an onboard Intel i960 processor with 5l2 Kbytes oflocal RAM.that handles the communication protocol and data formatting into the sharedRAM.
The 5136-PFB-VME consists of:
a VMEbus interface, with capabilities as outlined in the Specifications sectionof this manual
five registers in VME short address space for control of the card
The card has an additional 256 Kbytes ofRAM which is shared with the hostas either a single block of 256 Kbytes (linear addressing mode) or as one ofsixteen, l6 Kbyte pages (paged mode). In paged mode, the host determineswhich page of this shared RAM is mapped into the host memory by writing toa register on the card. This block of memory contains all the tables andbuffers that are used to pass information between the interface card and theapplication software running in the host computer. This approach ensures afast and simple connection between the host computer and the card software.
In addition, the card has 5l2 Kbytes of sectored flash memory, for storage ofprograms and configuration data. ProfBus configuration information mayalso be stored in flash.

Please ensure that you have the following information readily available before calling for technical support.
• Card type and serial number
• Computer make and model and hardware configuration (other cards installed)
• Operating system type and version
• Details of the problem; application module type and version, target network, circumstances that caused the problem

When designing an application for the 5136-PFB-VME, the first decision you have to make is whether you want to load and run the card software from flash memory or by downloading it from the host computer.
Advantages of Running from Flash
• The application does not need to download software modules to the card or store the software module (approximately 120 Kbytes is required) with the application.
• Loading software modules and configuration data is simpler from the serial port since the card takes care of most of the details.
• Does not require access to a file system Disadvantages of Running from Flash
• Since the software module and configuration is stored on the card, you cannot simply swap cards in order to replace a card. You have to reload and configure the replacement card.
• Access to the card and the device it is installed in is required to be able to load the card from the serial port
