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

Area of application

Active, two-channel universal PCI interface card to connect a PC to two independent PROFIBUS networks. Both channels work alternatively as master or slave. The card operates as a DP master and is suited both to fast 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
  • Universal PCI interface for 5V and 3.3V systems
  • 2 fully separated, independent channels
  • master and slave operation per channel adjustable
  • Optimized for high-speed data exchange
  • API for DP-V0 und DP-V1 Master, DP-Slave, FMS, FDL
  • Windows drivers for Vista32, XP, 2000, Linux drivers for Kernel 2.6
  • Within the scope of customer-specific integration additional functions are available.
    Our project team will gladly assist you.
