PROFIBUS-DP external communication cards
PowerXL DG1 can be connected to the PROFIBUS
®
DP
using an optional PROFIBUS communication card. PowerXL
DG1 can be controlled, monitored and programmed from
the Host system. The devices are connected in a bus
structure. There is a max of 32 stations (master or slave) can
be connected to one segment bus. The bus is terminated
at beginning and end of each segment. To ensure error-free
operation, both bus terminations must always be powered,
if more than 32 stations are used, repeaters are required.
