GE IC695PBS301 RX3i Profibus Slave module supports V1 functionality.

الوصف

The GE IC695PBS301 is a PROFIBUS Slave Module for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), now part of Emerson Automation. Its purpose is to allow an RX3i system to act as a slave device on a PROFIBUS DP network.

Key Features and Specifications

• PROFIBUS-DP Slave: The module provides slave-level communication on a PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Peripherals) network. It automatically exchanges data with a master device (e.g., a PROFIBUS master PLC) but has no bus access rights of its own. It can only respond to a master’s requests.
• DP-V1 Functionality: A key feature of the IC695PBS301 is its support for DP-V1 functionality. This means it can handle advanced features beyond standard cyclic data exchange (DP-V0), including:
  • Acyclic data exchange: This allows for on-demand reading and writing of non-critical data.
  • Alarm handling: It can send alarm messages to the master device.
• Data Exchange: The module can read up to 244 bytes of input data from the network and send up to 244 bytes of output data to the network.
• Standard Data Rates: It supports all standard PROFIBUS data rates, from 9.6 kBit/s up to 12 MBit/s.
• Diagnostics: The module provides three PROFIBUS-compliant LEDs to indicate module and network status, which aids in troubleshooting.
• Software Configuration: The IC695PBS301 is configured using the Proficy Machine Edition software.
• Backplane Compatibility: It must be installed in an RX3i universal backplane.

Applications

The IC695PBS301 is typically used in applications where a larger, master PLC system needs to control or monitor a smaller, local RX3i system. It is commonly found in:

• Large-scale automation: For integrating an RX3i PLC into a larger, plant-wide control system using PROFIBUS DP.
• Remote I/O: The module can be used to set up a remote I/O station where the RX3i system and its I/O modules are located at a distance from the main PLC.
