Serial Profibus interface : SPI3

  • Coupler for integrating devices with serial interface as DP slave devices in PROFIBUS
  • replaces the serial interface in the PLC in decentralized PROFIBUS installations
  • Suitable for simple applications such as connecting text displays or barcode scanners, as well as for more complex applications such as the integration of identification systems, scales, controllers and laboratory equipment
  • Integration of devices with serial interface as DP slave devices in PROFIBUS networks
  • Available for various protocols and physical Interfaces

Overview

Functions

  • DP slave with transmission rate of 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s
  • Serial transmission rate of 110 bit/s up to 57.6 kbit/s (depending on the protocol)
  • Serial interface available as RS 232, RS 422 or RS 485
  • Configuration with GSD file via the PROFIBUS DP master
