Prosoft ILX56-PBM PROFIBUS DPV1 Master/Slave for ControlLogix®

The ILX56-PBM PROFIBUS DPV1 Master/Multi-Slave module allows

Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to communicate with

various PLCs and devices using the PROFIBUS DP protocol.  As a

PROFIBUS DP Master, the module can transfer up to 5000 bytes of

cyclic I/O data with various slave devices on the network.

Or you can use the module as a PROFIBUS DP multi-slave, where the

module can emulate up to 10 individual nodes on a PROFIBUS DP

network, allowing for more cyclic I/O data transfer.

With the ILX56-PBM module, ControlLogix® processors can easily

communicate with devices supporting PROFIBUS DPV0 and DPV1

protocol. And through premier integration tools such as a custom Add-On

Profile, project-specific Add-On Routines, and advanced tools such as

PROFIBUS DP packet capture utility, you can minimize the time required

to get a PROFIBUS DP network configured in a ControlLogix®

environment.

In addition, with the use of multiple I/O connections back to the

ControlLogix® processor, this module provides data update rates that will

meet even the most demanding applications.

Features

♦ AOP and AOI: Module communication is integrated within Studio/RSLogix™

5000 using a sample Add-On Instruction (AOI), and

custom configuration utility created Add-On Routines to reduce commissioning

time.

♦ Autoscan: The Autoscan feature reduces startup times and simplifies

troubleshooting by scanning the PROFIBUS network and

uploading slave device addresses and configuration information. (Reads and

maps nodes automatically to the module.)

♦ ComDTM: Allows remote Ethernet connectivity with Asset Management Software,

significantly lowering maintenance costs.

You can configure, commission, maintain and diagnose your fieldbus devices

throughout their entire lifecycle with this

comprehensive, fully integrated engineering and maintenance environment.

♦ SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing configuration files in the

event of a disaster.

♦ Redundancy: Two modules can be used along with the custom Add-On Routine

to allow for a redundant PROFIBUS DP network for high availability systems.
