Profibus Interface Board
The Profibus-DP communication interface allows slave connection to an
industrial Profibus-DP network. Profibus-DP allows industrial devices to be
controlled over an open network architecture enabling device connection at
various locations in the field. This “Fieldbus” technology reduces
hardwiring/cabling & provides ease of installation. It can interface to many
devices such as limit switches, sensors, directional valves, motor starters, bar
code readers, process sensors, frequency drives, etc. The network can have up
to 126 nodes. Its maximum communication baud rate is 12M baud and it’s
minimum baud rate is 9.6K baud.
Node addressing is selectable using the address selection switch. Baud rate is
auto detected from the master and no user setup is required. Module &
Network status LED’s provide network diagnostics. Maximum I/O data is
244 input bytes & 244 output bytes. FEC Inputs match the Discrete input
layout. FEC Output location is programmed using the AFC User Console
Software.
Note: The Profibus-DP interface is implemented according to the Profibus-DP
EN 50 170 (DIN 19245 Part 1) specification.
FEC integrates the Profibus-DP board manufactured by HMS Fieldbus
Systems AB into the Multi-Unit modular I/O board. For further technical
information on the Profibus-DP interface go to the HMS website.
