Profibus-DP Interface for Mentor II

 

MD24
Profibus-DP is a high speed communications network and protocol, that allows large amounts of data to be transferred quickly to and from network nodes. The Profibus interface will detect the network data rate, and automatically synchronise to it. The Profibus-DP interface for Mentor II is a slave node only.

Profibus-DP networks are "centralized" systems, requiring a master controller (usually a PLC) which controls all communications with slave nodes on the network. The Profibus interface for Mentor is a slave node only.

Easy fit add on card for Mentor II
Supports data rates up to 1.5 Mbits/sec
Automatically recognizes the network data rate
Supports three 16 bit cyclic data channels
Full cyclic data channel mapping allows any cyclic data channel to control or source from any drive
parameter
Default mappings -
- Speed/frequency feedback
- Torque feedback
- Status word provides status bits about 15 drive functions, eg drive healthy, drive running, at
  speed etc.
- Speed/frequency reference
- Torque feedback reference
- Control word allows ENABLE, RUN and DIRECTION signals, plus reference selection and user
  bit parameters to be transmitted in one cyclic data word
Network Loss detection will trip the drive (if enabled) if the network connection is lost
