Basic functions
There is a measurement output available for every channel at which the optical input level can
be measured with a commercially available voltmeter.
The various error and disruption messages of the OLM are available as a group signal via a
signaling contact for further processing. The signaling contact is a relay with floating contacts.
The individual modes as well as error/fault messages are displayed by several multicolor LEDs on
the front panel of the device, refer to the section "LED display (Page 13)".
The mechanical construction consists of a compact, stable metal housing that can be mounted
either on a DIN rail or on a mounting plate.
The modules are configured using switches that are easily accessible from the outside.
The PROFIBUS OLMs comply with the standard EN 50170 /2/ and with the technical guideline
"Optical transmission technology for PROFIBUS" published by the PROFIBUS User Organization
PNO.
OLM / G12 and OLM / G12-EEC have the same function. They only differ in the specification of the
ambient climatic conditions: While the OLM / G12 is suitable for use in the standard temperature
range from 0 °C to 60 °C, the OLM / G12-EEC (extended environmental conditions) can be used
in the extended temperature range of -25 °C to +60 °C and in up to 100% humidity (condensing).
2.5.1 Overview
The following figure shows the arrangement of the LEDs.

NOTICE
Mode: LED lit green
If the display of the port level is green in conjunction with a periodically changing color (red -
yellow - off), the relevant port LED, this points to overdrive of this channel. To counteract this,
the transmit power can be reduced, refer to the section "Reducing optical transmit power
(Page 26)".
Factory setting
The figure shows the factory setting of the DIL switches:
• Switches S0, S1, S2, S3, S4, S7 and S8 in position "0"
• Switch S5 and S6 in position "1"

and a direct optical link is required.
The following table shows the meaning of the individual DIL switches for the compatibility mode
(S7=1).
Note
The following information applies only to the default setting of S7 (S7 = 0); in other words,
compatibility turned off.
With the DIL switch S0, you set the mode of the electrical channel CH1.
Note
Set this mode only in the star segment of a star topology.
Note
The following information applies only to the default setting of S7 (S7 = 0); in other words,
compatibility turned off.
Note
OLM / P22 and OLM / G22 only
With the DIL switch S8, you set the mode of the electrical channel CH0.
For an OLM with only one electrical interface, S8 has no function.
Note
Set this mode only in the star segment of a star topology.
Note
The following information applies only to the default setting of S7 (S7 = 0); in other words,
compatibility turned off.
With the DIL switches S1 and S2, you set the mode of the optical channel CH2.
With the DIL switches S3 and S4, you set the mode of the optical channel CH3.
For an OLM with only one optical interface, S3 and S4 have no function.
The mode can be set separately for each optical channel. Combinations of the modes "bus with
fiber-optic link monitoring and segmentation" and "bus without fiber-optic link monitoring" are
possible.
Always set the same mode for the two optical channels connected together via the fiber-optic
cable. When operating with devices that do not provide fiber-optic link monitoring, this mode
cannot be used and must be disabled on the OLM.
Note
Always set the "redundant optical ring" mode on both optical channels of a module.
Note
With OLM / P11 or OLM / G11, S6 has no function.
With the DIL switch S5, you set the transmit power of CH2.
With the DIL switch S6, you set the transmit power of CH3.
With OLM / G11, OLM / G12, OLM / G12 EEC and OLM / G22
The OLM / G11, G12, G12 EEC and G22 have a high optical transmit power.
Optical overdrive may occur if these modules are connected via multimode fiber-optic cable as
follows:
• With cable lengths up 1000 m between them
• With OLM V3
In this case, the optical transmit power can be reduced by approx. 70% (4.5 dB) as of product
version 04 with OLM / G11, G12, G12 EEC and OLM / G22.
Compare the paragraph Optical channels in the section "Technical data (Page 67)".

Safety notices
When installing the device, keep to the safety notices listed below.
WARNING
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature of more than 50 °C, the temperature of the
device housing may be higher than 70 °C. The device must therefore be installed so that it is
only accessible to service personnel or users that are aware of the reason for restricted access
and the required safety measures at an ambient temperature higher than 50 °C.
WARNING
If the cable or conduit entry point exceeds 70 °C or the branching point of conductors exceeds
80 °C, special precautions must be taken. If the equipment is operated in an air ambient in
excess of 50 °C, only use cables with admitted maximum operating temperature of at least 80
°C.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Replacing components may impair suitability for Class 1, Division 2 or Zone 2.
WARNING
The device is intended for indoor use only.
WARNING
The device may only be operated in an environment of contamination class 1 or 2 (see EN/IEC
60664-1, GB/T 16935.1).
WARNING
When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I, Zone 2,
the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
NOTICE
Improper mounting
Improper mounting may damage the device or impair its operation.
• Before mounting the device, always ensure that there is no visible damage to the device.
• Mount the device using suitable tools. Observe the information in the respective section
about mounting.
Notes for use in hazardous locations according to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and CCC Ex
If you use the device under ATEX, IECEx, UKEX or CCC Ex conditions you must also keep to the
following safety instructions in addition to the general safety instructions for protection against
explosion:
WARNING
To comply with EU Directive 2014/34 EU (ATEX 114), UK-Regulation SI 2016/1107 or the
conditions of IECEx or CCC-Ex, the housing or cabinet must meet the requirements of at least
IP54 (according to EN/IEC 60529, GB/T 4208) in compliance with EN IEC/IEC 60079‑7, GB
3836.8.
WARNING
If the temperature of the cable or housing socket exceeds 60 °C or the temperature at the
branching point of the cables exceeds 80 °C, special precautions must be taken. If the
equipment is operated in an air ambient in excess of 60 ℃, only use cables with admitted
maximum operating temperature of at least 80 ℃.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) includes all questions of electrical, magnetic and
electromagnetic immunity and emission. To avoid interference affecting electrical systems,
these effects must be reduced to a minimum. The essential limiting measures include the
configuration, correct connection of bus cables and the suppression of switching inductances;
refer to the notes in the sections "Installation" and "Connecting optical cables".
Note
If there is a potential difference between the grounding points, an illegally high compensating
current can flow through the shield grounded at both ends.
To rectify the problem, do not, under any circumstances, open the shield of the bus cable.
The following solution is permitted:
Install an extra bonding cable parallel to the bus cable that takes over the shield current.
Contacting shields
Note the following points when contacting cable shields:
• Secure the braided shield with metal cable clamps.
• The clamps must make good and largearea contact with the shield.
• Contact SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS cables only using the braided copper shield and not the
aluminum foil shield. The foil shield is applied on one side to a plastic foil to increase tearing
strength and is therefore non-conductive.
• The shields of all cables entering the cabinet from outside must be secured as close as
possible to the point of entry and should make largearea contact with cabinet ground.
• Make sure that you do not damage the braided shields of the cables when you remove the
cable jacket. To allow good contact between grounding elements, tin-plated or galvanically
stabilized surfaces are ideal. With galvanized surfaces, the necessary contact should be
achieved using suitable screws. Painted or varnished surfaces should be avoided at the
contact points.
• Shield clamps or contacts must not be used as strain relief. The contact with the shielding bar
could be impaired or be broken altogether.
Figure 5-2 Securing shielded cables with cable clamps and ties

atmosphere is present.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not open the device when the supply voltage is turned on.
WARNING
Unsuitable cables or connectors
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas
• Only use connectors that meet the requirements of the relevant type of protection.
• If necessary, tighten the connector screw connections, device fastening screws, grounding
screws, etc. according to the specified torques.
• Close unused cable openings for electrical connections.
• Check the cables for a tight fit after installation.
WARNING
Lack of equipotential bonding
If there is no equipotential bonding in hazardous areas, there is a risk of explosion due to
equalizing current or ignition sparks.
• Ensure that equipotential bonding is available for the device.
WARNING
Unprotected cable ends
There is a risk of explosion due to unprotected cable ends in hazardous areas.
• Protect unused cable ends according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
WARNING
Improper installation of shielded cables
There is a risk of explosion due to equalizing currents between the hazardous area and the non-
hazardous area.
• Ground shielded cables that cross hazardous areas at one end only.
• Lay a potential equalization conductor when grounding at both ends.
WARNING
Insufficient isolation of intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits
Risk of explosion in hazardous areas
• When connecting intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits, ensure that the
galvanic isolation is performed properly in compliance with local regulations (e.g. IEC
60079-14).
• Observe the device approvals applicable for your country.
Note
Power supply, input and output cabling (I/O cabling) must meet the wiring standards for Class
I, Div. 2 - article 501 - 10B National Electric Code.
Note
If the device is supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures are necessary
to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines. These can result,
for example, due to lightning strikes or switching of large inductive loads. One of the tests used
to attest the immunity of the device to electromagnetic interference is the "surge immunity test"
according to EN 61000-4-5. This test requires overvoltage protection for the power supply lines.
For example, the following protective element is suitable:
Dehn Blitzductor BVT AVD 24V Art. No. 918 422
Manufacturer: DEHN+SÖHNE GmbH+Co.KG Hans Dehn Str.1 Postfach 1640 D-92306 Neumarkt,
Germany
Note
Under sensible foreseeable circumstances, the accessible optical radiated power of the
components used represents no danger and meets the requirements for class 1 according to IEC
60825-1 Ed.1.2:2001-08. Nevertheless, avoid looking directly into the transmitter or into the
end of a fiber-optic cable.
Notes for use in hazardous locations according to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and CCC Ex
If you use the device under ATEX, IECEx, UKEX or CCC Ex conditions you must also keep to the
following safety instructions in addition to the general safety instructions for protection against
explosion:
WARNING

Take measures to prevent transient overvoltages of more than 40% of the rated voltage (or
more than 119 V). This is the case if you only operate devices with SELV (safety extra-low
voltage).
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
DO NOT DISCONNECT WHILE CIRCUIT IS LIVE UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or non-hazardous
locations only.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Zone 2, Group IIC or non-hazardous locations only.
Note
NOTICE
Damage
Do not connect any RS-485 bus cables that are laid entirely or partly outdoors. Otherwise,
lightning strikes in the vicinity can destroy the modules.
If you have bus connections that leave the building, use FO cables.
• Only use shielded twisted pair for the RS-485 bus cables as described in the manual "SIMATIC
NET PROFIBUS Networks". Do not exceed the segment lengths specified there.
• Connect the RS-485 bus segment using a PROFIBUS connector. If the module is at the
beginning or at the end of a bus segment, this connector must have an active bus terminator.
• Screw all PROFIBUS bus connectors of the network securely to the RS-485 interfaces.
• Disruptions can occur in the optical and electrical network as a result of
– Plugging or pulling the bus connector
– Loosely connected bus connectors
– Bus wires not being securely crewed inside the connectors
• Connect or remove the RS-485 bus connector quickly and without tilting or twisting the
connector.
• Disconnect the RS-485 bus cable from the OLM when there is no device at the other end or
when there is no power supplied to it. Otherwise the open cable acts like an antenna and is
susceptible to interference.
• To minimize disturbances, keep to the following order when connecting an RS-485 bus cable
to a PROFIBUS OLM when the network is active:
– Plug the RS-485 bus connector into the relevant device (e.g. the programming device)
and secure it with the screws.
– Plug the RS-485 bus connector into the PROFIBUS OLM quickly and without tilting or
twisting the connector and screw it tight.
– Carry out these steps in the reverse order to disconnect a device from the network.
• Make sure that the bus segment connected to the RS-485 port is terminated at both ends.
Only use a connecting cable that is terminated at both ends to connect a single device.
• If temperatures in excess of 70 °C can occur on the cables or at their insertion points or the
temperature at cable branching points can exceed 80 °C, special measures must be taken.
• For ambient temperatures of 50 °C to 60 °C, cables with a temperature rating for at least 80
°C should be used.

section "LED display (Page 13)".
The output voltages at the measurement sockets are influenced by the following factors:
• Strength of the transmit power of the partner OLM
• Ambient temperature of the optical transmitter and receiver
• Attenuation of the transmission line
• Transmission rate used
The measurement sockets are therefore not intended as a substitute for a calibrated level
measuring device with a calibrated light source. The value obtained only serves to classify the
received optical signals in 3 classes:
• Good (normal operation, green ①): 5 V > U > 240 mV
• Critical (optical link margin reduced, yellow ②): 120 mV ≤ U ≤ 240 mV
• Bad (functionality not guaranteed, red ③): U < 120 mV
Measure the level with a commercially available, high-resistance, ungrounded voltmeter. The
internal resistance of the measurement sockets is approx. 30 kΩ. A connection from the
measurement sockets or from reference potential to the OLM housing is not permitted.
Note
When an OLM of the SINEC L2FO series is connected, the OLM V4 LED level indicator has no
meaning. The measurement sockets cannot be used.

channels)
Note
No plastic fiber-optic cable may be connected to an OLM that uses glass fiber-optic cable and vice
versa.
Note
The laying of fiber-optic cables requires special measures.
Avoid mechanical stress such as traction, pressure or kinking.
The cable manufacturers specify minimum bending radii for fiber-optic cables both during
installation and operation. The bending radii and the requirements when laying cables depend
largely on the cable type used and must therefore be checked in the instructions in the relevant
data sheets. Ignoring these requirements may lead to higher attenuation values and, in the
worst case (extreme bending etc.), to destruction of the fiber-optic cable.

Note
When using the OLM / P22 or OLM / G22, a further end device or bus segment can be connected
to CH0.
To establish individual point-to-point connections, you can use two modules each with one
optical channel.
The bus topology can be implemented with and without fiber-optic link monitoring. Use of fiber-
optic link monitoring is recommended in homogeneous OLM networks (factory default).
Please note that for correct operation, the following conditions must be kept to when
configuring the network:
• The parameter MIN TSDR described in the PROFIBUS standard EN 50170 /2/ must be set to a
value ≥ 11 on all end devices. This is usually the case but should be checked if permanent
communication problems occur.
• Choose bus node addresses as low as possible when configuring your network, to reduce
master timeouts that may occur due to disruptions.
You will find information on changing the setting in the documentation supplied by the
manufacturer of your end device.
Monitoring mechanisms
• Send echo: yes
• Monitor echo: yes
• Suppress echo: yes
• Monitor: yes
• Segmentation: yes
In this mode, the individual fiber-optic links are monitored by the two connected modules.
Occurrence of a disruption
If a module fails or a fiber-optic cable breaks or disturbances are detected on the optical
transmission line, the fiber-optic link between the two OLMs is interrupted (segmented). The
PROFIBUS network is separated into two (sub)networks each remaining functional on its own.
The problem is signaled as follows:
• The channel LEDs change to red.
• The signaling contacts of the two OLMs connected to the disturbed fiber-optic link are
activated.
Eliminating a disruption
The segmentation is canceled automatically as soon as both modules recognize that the
segmented fieldbus (sub)network is no longer disrupted based on test frames that they send out
automatically.
Note
If a problem occurs in networks with several active bus nodes, two logical token rings are
formed. As a result, temporary network disturbances may occur due to double tokens or frame
collisions when the full network is restored.
Note
If modules with two optical channels are used at the end of a line, the unused optical channel
must be set to the mode “bus without fiber-optic link monitoring”, so that it does not cause a
broken fiber-optic cable signal, see section "Setting the mode of the electrical channel (CH1)
(Page 23)" or "Setting the mode of the electrical channel (CH0) (Page 23)".
Note
Protect the optical channels that are not connected against external light and pollution by
protective caps.
Monitoring mechanisms
• Send echo: no
• Monitor echo: no
• Suppress echo: no
• Monitor: no
• Segmentation: no
In this mode, there is no monitoring of the individual fiber-optic links.

Note
Unused optical channels you intend to use later to expand the network cause a broken fiber-
optic cable signal if the monitoring is active. You can avoid this error message by setting unused
channels to the mode “bus without fiber-optic link monitoring”.
Note
Protect the optical channels that are not connected against external light and pollution by
protective caps.

Monitoring mechanisms
• Send echo: yes
• Monitor echo: yes
• Suppress echo: yes
• Segmentation: yes
The interruption of one or both fiber-optic cables between the modules is detected by the OLM
and the ring becomes an optical bus.
If one module fails, only the end devices connected to this module or the RS-485 segment are
disconnected from the ring. The rest of the network itself remains functional as a bus. The
problem is indicated by the LEDs of the two OLMs connected to the disrupted fiber-optic link and
by the signaling contacts of these OLMs. The segmentation is canceled automatically as soon as
both modules recognize that the segmented fieldbus (sub)network is no longer disrupted based
on test frames that they send out automatically. The bus is once again closed to form a ring.
– The slot time must be set to about twice the value compared with a not redundant
network. For more information, refer to the section "Configuration". You will find
information on changing the setting in the documentation supplied with your end device
or with the configuration software.
NOTICE

vice versa.

1. The redundant optical ring consists of exactly two OLMs and the two fiber-optic links are of
different length (difference > approx. 2 m).
Under these conditions, the receiving OLM will always receive a sent frame first on the channel
with the shorter fiber-optic link. This channel signals this with a lit yellow channel LED. The frame
on the other optical channel is interpreted as an “echo frame”, the channel LED stays unlit. Since
the fiber-optic cable lengths represent static variables, the display reaction is also static.

2. The redundant optical ring consists of exactly two OLMs and both fiber-optic cable connections
are of exactly the same length.
Under these circumstances, the receiving OLM receives a frame on both of the optical channels
at the same time. To handle this case, the OLM prioritizes the two optical channels. By
definition, the frame on one optical channel will then be taken as an echo (channel LED = off) and
the frame on the other optical channel will then be taken as a forwarded frame (channel LED =
yellow).
Due to the effect of jitter and the resulting sampling differences between the two optical input
channels, it is possible that one or the other optical channel receives a frame first. Due to the
extended display time of at least 300 ms. all channel LEDs are then lit yellow continuously.

7.2 Configuration
Due to the delays caused by cables and network components and the monitoring mechanisms
in the network components, the PROFIBUS network parameter "Slot Time" must be adapted to
the network span, the network topology and the data rate.
Factors a, b and c
The factors a, b and c depend on the transmission speed.
Note
Remember the minimum slot times for OLM / G11-1300 and OLM / G12-1300.

If the calculated slot time is shorter than the minimum slot time, use the minimum slot time from
the table above as the configured slot time.
The slot time calculation takes into account only the optical network and the attachment of
nodes to the OLM in each case via a maximum 20 m long RS485 bus segment. Longer RS485 bus
segments must be included by adding them to the LengthFOC.
Note
If the slot time is configured with a value that is too low, this can lead to malfunctions and error
displays on the OLM. The system LED flashes red/green.
