System Integration
Other System Components with an
RS-485 Rackbus interface
Hardware
•
For connecting to a personal
computer via an RS-485 card or
RS-232C/RS-485 adapter.
•
For connecting to the Rackbus via the
FXA 675 interface card.
Software for the personal computer
•
Fieldmanager 485: configuration and
display program for small and
medium-sized plants.
•
Commugraph: easy-to-use
visualisation program with limit display.
•
Commuwin II: display and operating
program under Windows.
Connecting to Process Control
Systems
The Prosonic FMU 86… can be easily
linked to existing process control
systems via the RS-485 interface.
The FXA 675 interface card (or the
Monorack II RS-485) connects two
individual Rackbus RS-485 networks
with up to 25 transmitters via the
Rackbus. A second card (Gateway)
serves as the bus connection for
standard networks such as PROFIBUS,
FIP or MODBUS.
The Prosonic P level measurement
system also enables a number of widely
distributed ultrasonic measuring points
to be controlled by a personal computer.
