PROFIBUS Interface Card:
PROFIboard PCI (2-channel, master and master/slave)

Have also a look at our new PBpro family with more power.

Area of application

Active, two-channel PCI interface card to connect a PC to two independent PROFIBUS networks. One channel of the card operates as master, the other either as master or slave.

The card is suited both to control and visualization tasks and to parameterization and analysis applications. For instance, this enables the PC to be integrated into hierarchical network structures or to function as a multi-channel master.

Functions
  • Active card with its own microcontroller
  • Master and slave operation with one card
  • 2 fully separated, independent channels
  • API for DP-V0 and DP-V1 Master, DP Slave, FMS, FDL
  • Windows drivers for XP, 2000, NT, 9x; Linux drivers for Kernel 2.4 and 2.6
  • The following realtime environments are supported:
    • Ardence RTX for Windows XP/2000
    • QNX (as option, not as free download)
    • CoDeSys SP RTE (upon request, not as download)
  • Free driver for STEP7 and PDM
  • Numerous add-ons for visualization, analysis, parameterization, S7 communication
Included in package
  • PROFIboard PCI (2-channel, master and master/slave)
  • Free driver download for all PROFIBUS protocols
Part no.
  • PB-IF-2MS
Highlights
  • Can be used universally
  • Ideally suited for gateway and redundancy applications
  • Compact solution even for large systems
