Details: VBG-DN-K20-D

Function

The VBG-DN-K20-D is a DeviceNet gateway compliant with AS-Interface specification 3.0. The variant in an IP20 stainless steel housing is particularly suitable for use in the switching cabinet for snapping onto 35mm mounting rails.

The gateway is a 100% DeviceNet slave (group 2 slave) and, as a listed product, directly addressable through the DeviceNet device manager. Communication between the ASInterface and DeviceNet is implemented by the gateway with no additional programming effort.

For the AS-Interface gateway with graphic display, the commissioning of the AS-Interface circuit as well as the test of the connected periphery can be completely separated from the commissioning of the DeviceNet as well as the programming. On-site operation using the graphical display and the four buttons make it possible to perform all functions on the display. Address assignment and transfer of the expected configuration can be done with the buttons. There are 7 LEDs on the front panel, showing the current status of the AS-i line. An additional RS 232 socket is available with the option to read out data directly from the gateway via gateway, network and function within the scope of an enhanced on-site diagnosis. Using the AS-i Control Tools package (not included), many functions can be remotely controlled via PC.

The gateway draws its power from the AS-interface cable. The connection of the AS-Interface gateway to the DeviceNet uses the 5pin CombiCon plug according to the DeviceNet specification. There are self-opening device terminals available for all other connections.

PLC Functionality

Furthermore, the gateway can optionally be delivered with PLC functionality. Therefor you can order a code key VAZ-CTR additionally.
