Product Description of ProSoft PS69-DPM

PS69-DPM is a PROFIBUS DPV1 master communication module launched by ProSoft Technology. It is specifically designed for the Rockwell CompactLogix / MicroLogix 1500 LRP controller platform to achieve high-speed and stable data interconnection between PLC and PROFIBUS DP slave devices (such as frequency converters, servo systems, instruments, sensors, etc.). It fully supports DPV0 cyclic I/O and DPV1 non-cyclic message services.
