PROFI-5000 Series PROFIBUS I/O Modules

PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is a standard for fieldbus communication in automation technology and was first promoted (1989) by BMBF (German department of education and research). It is the world’s most successful fieldbus, with more than 31 million devices installed by the end of 2009. Over 5.4 million of these were in the process industries.

PROFIBUS DP is the main emphasis for factory automation, it uses RS-485 transmission technology. DP is the simple, fast, cyclic and deterministic process data exchange between a bus master and the assigned slave devices. The original version, designated DP-V0, has been expanded to include version DP-V1, offering acyclic data exchange between master and slave. A further version DP-V2 is also available, which provides for direct slave to slave communication with an isochronous bus cycle.

PROFI-5000 Series are PROFIBUS I/O modules that delivers access and control of remote digital I/O, analog I/O, pulse I/O, relays, strain gauge and temperature sensors to a PROFIBUS network.
