PROFIBUS Master Module

 

April 2012 

 

The VersaMax

*

 IC200BEM003 PROFIBUS Master Module allows a VersaMax 

CPU005, CPUE05 or PROFINET Scanner (PNS) to send and receive data on a 
PROFIBUS-DP V1 network.  

The PROFIBUS Master module provides the following PROFIBUS 
communications features: 

 

Supports all standard data rates  

 

Supports a maximum of 3,584 bytes of input data and 3,584 bytes of output 
data with a VersaMax CPU; a maximum of 1440 bytes of input data and 1440 
bytes of output data with a PNS. 

 

Supports a maximum of 125 PROFIBUS-DP slaves, with a maximum of 244 
bytes of input data and 244 bytes of output data for each slave 

 

Supports Sync and Freeze modes  

 

Supports DP-V1 Read, Write and Alarm messages 

 

Has PROFIBUS-compliant module and network status LEDs 

This module must be located in a VersaMax Communications Carrier. 

The PROFIBUS module receives its firmware upgrades indirectly from the 
head end CPU or PNS using the WinLoader software utility. WinLoader is 
supplied with any updates to the PROFIBUS module software.
