Product Specifications
The PROFIBUS DP Slave module is a powerful communication interface for
Unity and Quantum platform processors that allows you to interface easily with a
PROFIBUS DP Master device. Developed under license from Schneider Electric,
the module incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful
data exchange with Unity and Quantum processors.
8.1.1 Features and Benefits
The PROFIBUS DP Slave protocol driver supports the PROFIBUS V0 Slave
implementation, providing powerful data transfer capability between the module
and Schneider Electric Quantum and Unity processors. User configurable data
mapping and DP port operation make the interface an easy to use and powerful
data transfer tool.
The PTQ module Configuration/Debug Serial port connects a PC to the module
for configuration, status, monitoring, and troubleshooting (Serial cable is included
with product shipment). After editing on a PC, a configuration file is downloaded
and stored on the PTQ module.
The PROFIBUS DP Slave gives access to the unit's input and output images with
up to 244 bytes of Input and Output data, for a maximum of 400 bytes total.
These Input and Output data blocks are mapped by the user within the module's
data memory allowing maximum flexibility and data transfer with other protocols.
