AN-X-PBSLV Module Overview
The AN-X-PBSLV communications module connects a computer or
other device to a PROFIBUS network, using Ethernet.
The module:
• acts as one or more nodes, up to a total of 125 nodes
• monitors the input and output data on other nodes on the network
• maintains PROFIBUS diagnostic counters
• supports baud rates from 9600 bps to 12 Mbps.
The AN-X-PBSLV module supports exchanging scheduled data over
Ethernet with a ControlLogix processor, with RPIs from 5 to 3200 ms.
Refer to page 22 for details.
The AN-X-PBSLV also supports unscheduled messaging. The module
maps PROFIBUS data to PLC-5 integer files. Use unscheduled messages
from a computer or PLC or a DDE or OPC server such as RSLinx to
access the PROFIBUS data directly on the AN-X-PBSLV. Refer to page
43 for details.
The module supports Modbus over Ethernet.
The module supports direct AN-X to AN-X communication over
Ethernet. Refer to page 34 for details.
The AN-X-PBSLV module has a web interface for configuration of
PROFIBUS properties, ControlLogix scheduled communication and
AN-X to AN-X communication, and for monitoring operation and data.
You can communicate with the module using any standard web browser
such as Internet Explorer.
