Introduction
The module UNIGATE
®
CL-MPI serves to adapt a serial port to the Siemens MPI-bus. In this
application, it functions as a Gateway and operates as MPI master or slave, optionally adjustable
via Script. It is in the position to communicate with any MPI-device (e. g. S7-300).
The module CL-MPI essentially consists of the following hardware components:
•
Electrically isolated RS485 interface to the MPI-bus
•
ASIC "MPI 12x"
•
Microprocessor 89C51RD2
•
RAM and EPROM
•
Optionally electrically isolated
•
Serial interface (RS232, RS485 and RS422) to the device connected externally
