Modbus® Serial networks for PROFIBUS DP networks by operating as a PROFIBUS
DP slave.
For easy integration to a Rockwell Automation Controller, the gateway and
configuration software create dynamic AOI’s based on the user configuration to add
logical tag names to the PLC project file. Thus, reducing programming time.
For configuration of Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus Serial Networks, the module will
automatically map PROFIBUS DP data points to registers on a Modbus network.
With advanced tools such as a built in PROFIBUS DP packet capture utility,
PROFIBUS DP network commissioning time can be greatly reduced.
Dual Ethernet ports of the module can support either DLR (Device Level Ring)
topology, or can be used as an embedded switch for flexible installation options.
With support for up to 1536 bytes of Input and Output data, and up to 4 EtherNet/IP
connections back to the processor, this module provides performance and data
throughput for even the most demanding of PROFIBUS applications.
As a PROFIBUS DP slave device, the module can emulate from 1 to as many as 10
slave DP nodes, providing up to 1536 bytes of Input and Output Cyclic I/O data
between EtherNet/IP devices and a PROFIBUS DP master. This eliminates the need
for using DPV1 messaging when more than 244 bytes of data needs to be exchanged
between a PROFIBUS master and an EtherNet/IP network.
