Outline description
The GXS and CXS Profibus Module provides a Profibus DP V0 slave interface for Edwards GXS and CXS pumps. The
module communicates with the pump using the RS232 interface. Commands received from the Profibus network are
relayed to the pump. Data from the pump is stored in the module and transmitted over the Profibus network when
requested. The pumps provide the DC power for the module. The front panel of the module has four LEDs which
indicate the status of the module and the Profibus network. The Profibus slave address is set using rotary switches.
The back panel of the module has a 9-way 'D' connector for the Profibus network, a 9-way 'D' connector for the RS232
link to the pump and a power connector.
