Details: VBG-PB-K20-D

Function

The VBG-PB-K20-D is a PROFIBUS Gateway in accordance with AS-Interface specification 3.0 in IP20. The design is especially suitable for use in the switch cabinet.

The VBG-PB-K20-D is a modular PROFIBUS slave. This means that the user can use the PROFIBUS configuration tool to specify what data will be transferred via the PROFIBUS. This makes it possible to adjust the amount of data to be transferred via PROFIBUS.

In addition, this gateway supports acyclical communication of the PROFIBUSDP V1. These acyclical services can be used to access a mailbox in the gateway that provides access to all the data made available by the AS-Interface/PROFIBUS Gateway.

A push button can be used to accept the target configuration and to adjust the PROFIBUS address and baud rate. There are 7 LEDs on the front panel, showing the current status of the AS-Interface line.

In the case of the AS-Interface Gateway with graphical display, the AS-Interface circuit can be placed in service and the test of the connected periphery can be kept entirely separate from the commissioning of the PROFIBUS and the programming. On-site operation with the aid of the graphical display and 4 push buttons makes it possible to show all functions on the display that are covered by the AS-i Control Tools software for other AS-Interface masters. An additional RS 232-socket offers the option of reading data via gateway, network and function as part of advanced local diagnostics directly from the gateway.

PLC functionality

Optionally the gateway is also available with PLC-functionality. Therefor you can order a code key VAZ-CTR additionally.
