1.4 isNet DiagM PA
The isNet DiagM PA module is a Profibus Master with a PA physical
layer interface. It allows direct connection of Profibus PA field devic-
es without the need of a DP/PA converter. The module can serve as a
fieldbus power supply for the PA slaves or it can also be connected
to an existing and already powered PA segment as an additional
master.
In combination with the isNet Lite the module can be used as a
gateway between Profinet and Profibus PA or as a Modbus-TCP
to Profibus PA converter. In parallel to process data exchange the
gateway allows access to the parameters of the PA slave devices
via FDT or OPC. Furthermore, the module contains some diagnostic
functionality like a protocol monitor that can run simultaneously to
the master to record data traffic for failure analysis, data logging or
other purposes.
