Function and Positioning

This module serves as the PROFIBUS-DP slave station + serial communication expansion unit of SYSTEM 2005 PLC, having dual functions of accessing the field bus slave station and networking serial devices. It integrates 1 PROFIBUS-DP slave station interface (DB9 female connector), with electrical isolation design, supporting PROFIBUS-DP V0 protocol, with a maximum baud rate of 12Mbps, capable of connecting to the PROFIBUS master station (such as 3IF761.9), achieving process data loop transmission, diagnostic data reporting and parameter configuration, with input/output data each supporting a maximum of 3.5KB. It is equipped with 1 RS485/RS422 interface, with electrical isolation, supporting Modbus RTU and other serial protocols, with a maximum baud rate of 115.2kbps, a maximum transmission distance of 1200 meters, capable of connecting sensors, instruments, frequency converters and other serial devices. The two interfaces are independent of each other and are all electrically isolated from the system backplane, with strong anti-interference ability; it supports hot swapping, without downtime for replacement, reducing operation and maintenance risks; it can be configured through Automation Studio software for slave station address, baud rate, and serial port parameters, suitable for PROFIBUS slave station expansion, serial device connection to the bus, and communication renovation of old equipment scenarios.

Core Performance Parameters

The communication interface includes 1 PROFIBUS-DP slave station interface (DB9 male connector) and 1 RS485/RS422 interface (DB9 male connector), with electrical isolation between the two interfaces and between the interface and the system bus. It supports protocols of PROFIBUS-DP V0 and RS485/RS422 asynchronous communication (compatible with Modbus RTU). The PROFIBUS-DP transmission rate is up to 12Mbps, automatically negotiating baud rate; RS485/RS422 supports baud rates of 300–115200bps. The maximum input data of the PROFIBUS-DP slave station is 3.5KB, the maximum output data is 3.5KB; in terms of transmission distance, the standard DP cable has a maximum length of 1000 meters (9.6kbps) for normal transmission rate, and up to 100 meters for high-speed 12Mbps; the maximum length of a single segment for RS485/RS422 is 1200 meters. In terms of power consumption, 3.3VDC is 0.15W, 5VDC is 1.29W, totaling 1.44W. The working environment temperature is 0℃ to + 60℃, the storage temperature is -25℃ to + 70℃, relative humidity is 5% to 95%, no condensation. The panel is equipped with multiple groups of LED status indicators, which display PROFIBUS link, data activity, serial port reception and transmission, fault alarm, and power status, supporting rapid diagnosis. The configuration method is through Automation Studio software configuration, setting slave station address, baud rate, communication cycle and serial port parameters.
