connection costs and is designed especially for communication
between automation systems and distributed peripherals.
The interface of PROFIBUS DP to ProcessLogix R400.0 involves the
provision of a communication path from the PROFIBUS DP network
to the controller through the use of a dedicated hardware interface
card.
SST-PFBCLX PROFIBUS Interface Module
The integration of PROFIBUS into ProcessLogix R400.0 introduces a
new hardware component into the ProcessLogix architecture. This
module is sold and distributed by SST. The SST model number is
SST-PFBCLX.
