GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway contains a proprietary expansion port which
provides a high speed, parallel architecture that extends the functionality and
flexibility of the platform. This approach allows these products to evolve
concurrently with the latest advances in communications and standards, without
sacrificing performance. This high bandwidth channel has significantly greater
throughput when compared to the traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The VFG9000-PBDP option card adds PROFIBUS DP connectivity to the
series. This allows a high-speed exchange of blocks of data, at data rates up to
12MBaud, between the hosting Fieldbus Gateway and a Master PLC or PC on
a PROFIBUS network. The DP suffix refers to “Decentralized Periphery”,
which is used to describe distributed I/O devices connected via a fast serial data
link with a central controller.
The VFG9000-PBDP communication card is easily installed by removing the
blank expansion port cover of your Fieldbus Gateway, and plugging the
VFG9000-PBDP card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using
B&B Electronics’ free Fieldbus Gateway Manager software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
