PROFIBUS PA Field Device Protocol Software

Portable PROFIBUS PA Protocol Software for Field Devices

Softing’s PROFIBUS PA field device protocol software is optimized with respect to size, performance, and portability to support customer-specific hardware platforms. It is especially targeted to 16 Bit low-power microcontrollers and includes the complete range of protocol features for implementing conformant PROFIBUS PA field devices.

Overview

Quick Adaptation to Customer-Specific Hardware Platforms

Complete, software-based solution
Especially addressing deployment in typical process automation field devices
Implementation optimized to run on 16 and 32 Bit low-power microcontrollers as typically used in explosive environments
Facilitated usage in a wide range of microcontroller, memory, and operating system environments, as often found in field devices
Adaptable to device-specific requirements
Enabling usage on customer-specific target platforms

Full Set of Functionality

Implementation according to the PROFIBUS specification
Containing Function Blocks defined by the PROFIBUS PA profile in the PROFIBUS specification
Modular design allowing individual selection of functionality supported by individual field device

Support of General Fieldbus ASICs

Implementation supporting not only PROFIBUS ASIC SPC4-2, but also other fieldbus ASICs like Aniotek’s UFC100-L1
Approach easing parallel implementation of PROFIBUS PA and Foundation fieldbus H1 field device using identical hardware platform
Joint development of Softing’s PROFIBUS PA and Foundation fieldbus H1 field device protocol software reducing necessary effort for implementing second field device protocol

visitor_idACCOUNTID	The visitor cookie includes a unique visitor ID and the unique identifier for your account. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345 stores the visitor ID 1010101010. The account identifier, 12345, makes sure that the visitor is tracked on the correct Pardot account. The visitor value is the visitor_id in your Pardot account. This cookie is set for visitors by the Pardot tracking code.	10 years	HTML	Pardot
pi_opt_inACCOUNTID	If Tracking Opt-in preferences is enabled, the pi_opt_in cookie is set with a true or false value when the visitor opts in or out of tracking. If a visitor opts in, the value is set to true, and the visitor is cookied and tracked. If the visitor opts out or ignores the opt-in banner, the opt-in cookie value is set to false. The visitor cookie is disabled, and the visitor is not tracked.	10 years	HTML	Pardot
visitor_idACCOUNTID-hash	The visitor hash cookie contains the account ID and stores a unique hash. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345-hash stores the hash “855c3697d9979e78ac404c4ba2c66533”, and the account ID is 12345. This cookie is a security measure to make sure that a malicious user can’t fake a visitor from Pardot and access corresponding prospect information.	10 years	HTML	Pardot
lpvACCOUNTID	This LPV cookie is set to keep Pardot from tracking multiple page views on a single asset over a 30-minute session. For example, if a visitor reloads a landing page several times over a 30-minute period, this cookie keeps each reload from being tracked as a page view.	30 minutes	HTML	Pardot
pardot	A session cookie named pardot is set in your browser while you’re logged in to Pardot as a user or when a visitor accesses a form, landing page, or page with Pardot tracking code. The cookie denotes an active session and isn’t used for tracking.	10 years	HTML	Pardot
Prism_ACCOUNTID	Store and track interaction.	2 years	HTML	Active Campaign
