Function

The VBG-PB-K20-DMD-C1 is a PROFIBUS gateway with 2 AS-Interface masters according to AS-Interface specification 3.0 in IP20. Due to integrated decoupling coils, one switching power supply, for example the K24-STR-24...30VDC-10A, can supply 2 ASInterface lines at the same time. The design is especially suited for use in control cabinets.

The VBG-PB-K20-DMD-C1 is a modular PROFIBUS slave. This means, it is possible to define the data that are to be transmitted via the PROFIBUS using the PROFIBUS configuration tool. This provides for an adaptation of the data volume to be transmitted via the PROFIBUS.

In addition, this gateway supports the acyclic communication of the PROFIBUS DP V1. Using these acyclic services, it is possible to address a mailbox for the two AS-Interface masters in the gateway, via which all the data the AS-Interface/PROFIBUS gateway provides can be accessed.

A button is used to assign addresses, accept of the nominal configuration and set the Profibus address and baud rate. 7 LEDs on the front indicate the actual state of the ASInterface line.

For AS-Interface gateways with graphical display, the commissioning of the AS-Interface circuit and the test of the connected peripheral equipment can be completely separated from the commissioning of the Profibus and the programming. The local operation via the graphical display and the 4 buttons make it possible to map all the functions on the display that are covered via the Software AS-i Control Tools in all the other AS-Interface masters. An additional RS 232 socket offers the option of reading in data about the gateway, network and function directly from the gateway within the scope of an enhanced local diagnosis.

PLC Functionality

Optionally, the gateway can also be supplied with PLC functionality.
