Emerson VE4003S2B2 Analog Input Cards and Termination Blocks

System Configurations

The Mini Converter can be used in a point-to-point configuration as described above,

or in a multidrop configuration with the host device configured as the master and one or more programmable controllers configured as slaves.

The multidrop configuration requires a straightthrough (1-to-1) cable from the Mini Converter’s RS-422 port to the first slave PLC’s SNP port.

Other slaves will require a daisy chain connection between slaves.

A maximum of eight devices can be connected in an RS-422 multidrop configuration.

All of the devices must have a common ground.

If ground isolation is required, you can use the Isolated Repeater/Converter (IC655CCM590) in place of the Mini Converter.

When using the Mini Converter with a modem connection,

it may be necessary to jumper RTS to CTS (consult the user’s manual for your modem).

Cable Diagrams (Point-To-Point) When connecting the Mini Converter to IBM PC and compatible computers with hardware handshaking,

the following cable connections should be used.

PK Controller: Now Supporting Native PROFINET

PROFINET is an open industrial Ethernet solution and is based on international standards. 

It is a communication protocol designed to exchange data between controllers and devices in an industrial automation network.

And now, both the innovative PK Controller and new PK Flex Controller support native PROFINET, 

helping customers enhance their performance and meet the requirements of most of their time-critical applications.

You do not need special hardware or configuration to use PROFINET; 

the PK Flex Controller and PK Controller are equipped with PROFINET capability.

„ PK Flex Controller is a PROFINET controller and will connect with up to 250 devices such as PLCs, Drives,Remote I/O, transmitters and valves.

„ PROFINET in the PK Flex Controller is compliant with version 2.3 and CC-A functionality.

The Ovation I/O modules are locked into base units.
