The HE800PBM650 is a Profibus-DP Master communication module from the Horner Automation SmartStack I/O series. It supports two selectable Master types: PROFIBUS Combi Master (PB) for combined FMS and DP operation, and PROFIBUS-DP Master (DPM).
The module operates through a dual-port RAM interface that exchanges data and commands with the OCS or TIU host controller. Configuration is performed via the RS232 serial port on the module using HSyCon software.
The HE800PBM650 supports up to four SmartStack modules per OCS/TIU base. It includes LED status indicators (RDY, RUN, ERR, STA) for network and communication monitoring.

Diagnostic & Monitoring Functions
The HE800PBM650 provides a comprehensive set of diagnostic tools for network monitoring and troubleshooting. The Live List displays all active devices on the Profibus network for real-time verification of connected slaves.
Debug Mode supports PROFIBUS-DP protocol analysis. Device Diagnostic and Compare Configuration functions allow verification of slave device parameters against the configured setup, helping identify mismatches between the project configuration and the actual network.
The I/O Monitor and I/O Watch functions enable online verification of input and output data exchange. Extended DP Slave Diagnostic provides detailed fault information for individual slave devices, including diagnostic messages defined by the slave manufacturer.
FAQ
What are the two Master types available for the HE800PBM650?
The HE800PBM650 supports PROFIBUS Combi Master (PB) for combined FMS and DP operation, and PROFIBUS-DP Master (DPM) for dedicated DP master mode. Only COMDPM and COMPB are valid for SmartStack masters.
How is the HE800PBM650 configured?
The HE800PBM650 is configured via HSyCon software through the RS232 serial port on the module. The OCS/TIU must be configured first, otherwise the SmartStack module will be held in reset.
How many SmartStack modules can be installed on a single OCS/TIU?
A maximum of four SmartStack modules can be installed per OCS, RCS, NX, QX, FOX base/hub, or TIU. Do not install or remove modules while the unit is powered on.
What addressing modes does the HE800PBM650 support?
The module supports both Byte and Word addressing modes, configurable in DP Master Settings. Auto addressing can be activated in HSyCon for automatic allocation, or deactivated for manual user allocation.
How are slave station addresses managed on the HE800PBM650?
Each slave must have a unique station address. When slaves are added to the configuration list, the station address count is automatically raised by one but can be overwritten by the user. Slave configuration is done via Settings > Slave Configuration.
