ProSoft Technology, Inc. PROFIBUS DP High Speed Wireless 6104-WA-PDPM

The ProLinx High Speed Wireless PROFIBUS Solution creates a powerful wireless connection between Master and/or Slave devices on a PROFIBUS DP network. The modules are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted wireless protocol gateways providing an efficient and powerful over-the-air wireless protocol and a wired PROFIBUS Master or Slave interface port. On the field device side, the PROFIBUS DP master protocol driver is configured as a Class 1 PROFIBUS DP Master to interface with and control your PROFIBUS DP slave devices. It provides access to both standard and extended diagnostic information and provides freeze/sync capability. Configuration of the PROFIBUS network is accomplished using the ProLinx SyCon Configuration software. On the controller side, the PROFIBUS DP driver is configured to interface with your PDP master. It provides 200 bytes of read and 200 bytes write cyclic data. The module also provides common and extended diagnostic information and other important module status information. The overall PROFIBUS network node capacity can be calculated based on the available number of cyclic bytes available in the PDPS slave unit. The slave gateway becomes hard wired to an existing PROFIBUS network controlled by a third party master. The available number of PDPS slave cyclic data is 244 bytes Input and 244 bytes Output data (maximum 400 I/O bytes). For example, if each remote PROFIBUS third party slave connected to the PDPM master gateway consumed 6 Input/Output bytes each a total of 40 slaves can be configured. The remote wireless PDPM master allows up to 512 bytes input and 512 bytes output cyclic data. Multiple PDPS slave units could be used to accommodate larger PROFIBUS networks. The PROFIBUS DP Master (PDPM) protocol driver supports Master implementations of the protocol on either a Mono-Master or Multi-Master network.
