System Overview ProSafe-COM 3.00
26 of 49
3.3 Main
board
The main board is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of ProSafe-COM. It executes the ProSafe-COM
software.
Characteristics of the IPC version are:
•
Celeron M 1.0 GHz
•
Up to 1 GByte ECC RAM
•
Built-in serial RS-232 (4), parallel (1), USB 2.0 (2) and Gigabit Ethernet (3) interfaces
•
SATA interface for 16 Gigabyte flash disk
•
Monitor (DVI-I), PS/2 keyboard and mouse
3.4 V-net interface board
The V-net interface board is used to enable communication between the CENTUM CS3000 / VP system
and the ProSafe-COM. V-net is a token-bus network and forms the backbone of the CENTUM CS3000 /
VP DCS.
3.5 M-BUS/M-NET interface board
The M-BUS/M-NET interface is used for communication between ProSafe-COM and ProSafe-PLC. A PCI
interface board is available for either M-BUS or M-NET.
The M-NET interface provides the same functionality as the M-BUS interface, but supports longer
distances and greater ProSafe-PLC configurations.
3.6 Ethernet
interfaces
An Ethernet interface has the ability to run several concurrent protocols at the same time. Therefore it can
be used for different types of communication.
Ethernet connections can be used for:
•
Connecting ProSafe-COM to the customer’s network during project engineering.
•
First-line maintenance, revision management, solving bugs and software upgrading.
•
Connecting ProSafe-COM to a DCS running OPC client software.
•
Interconnecting redundant ProSafe-COMs
•
Connecting to an engineering PC running the ProSafe-COM SET tool.
•
Connecting to a PC running the I/O emulator tool (EmuTool)
•
Connecting external equipment (i.e. foreign PLCs) via the Modbus/TCP protocol.
3.7 Serial interface board
ProSafe-COM has a number of serial communication ports (COM-ports). Up to 10 ports can be available,
four of which are integrated in the IPC’s single board computer.
The serial ports can be used for:
•
Modbus status and event queries (either Modbus master or Modbus slave).
•
Connection to the ProSafe-COM SET
3.8 Y-net interface board
ProSafe-COM can be equipped with the Y-net interface. Up to 2 interfaces can be available.
The Y-net interfaces are used for:
•
Connection of a ProSafe-SLS safety system
•
Connection of an operator’s matrix panel
