Features

• Self-contained, panel, or DIN-rail mountable device
• Links an ControlNet™ network to a single Profibus-PA segment
• Operates as a true PA master without requiring a DP network, DP master, coupler device, or external power conditioner
• Supports as many as 24 PA field devices
• Supports multiple levels of device and media redundancy
  • Provides two physical Profibus-PA ports
  • Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box protects the network from both short and open circuit faults, improving the overall reliability of the system
• Supports EtherNet/IP Media redundancy
  • Hosts two Ethernet ports through Embedded Ethernet Switch technology
  • Allows the device to be connected in a linear or a Device Level Ring (DLR) topology
• Supports Master Device redundancy
  • Allows two identically-configured Redundant EtherNet/IP to Profibus-PA linking devices to be connected on the same PA network
  • Supports transfer of data between the devices and the Logix controller
• Provides seamless RSLogix 5000™ environment integration through Add-On Profiles, which automatically identifies field devices and configures them to their default settings
• Supports FDT/DTM Technology, allowing direct access to field device diagnostics and parameters using an FDT frame, such as FactoryTalk® AssetCentre
• Provides all basic diagnostic information in the input assembly
• Helps simplify large network commissioning through diagnostic parameters such as Power Supply Voltage, PA Bus Voltage (A & B bus), PA Bus Current (A & B bus), and Unit Internal Temperature
• Simplifies commissioning through onboard advanced diagnostics, including a node-specific PA bus oscilloscope trace that can be viewed within the RSLogix5000 Add-On Profile
