The SST™ PB3 Remote Module for PROFIBUS is a “Linking device” with on-board Profibus and Ethernet communication ports that provide a fast and easy solution for adding Profibus Master and Slave connectivity to Rockwell Logix controllers (CompactLogix, SoftLogix). This unique remote concept offers the same features as an in-chassis module but with extra functionalities and services due to its flexible remote design.
For example, the PB3 Remote Module reduces the cost of expensive Profibus cabling when used in environments where controller and field devices are a long distant apart.
The PB3 Remote Module is fully integrated into Rockwell Automation’s Integrated Architecture through features such as the Add-on-Instructions to save integration time; direct access from RSLogix 5000 to I/O data without writing any ladder logic; and complete access to Profibus DPV1 services and device diagnostics.
Features
- No Rack limitation of Rockwell CompactLogix controller backplane
- Flexible installation design; the PB3 module can be installed at the most convenient place (cabinet, on-machine, etc)
- Up to 2 KB Input + 2 KB Output Profibus process data
- Fits in with wireless architecture by connecting a wireless access point to the Ethernet port
- Fully integrated into Rockwell Architecture
• Add-On-Instructions (.L5X); Import Profibus I/O process data into RSLogix 5000 tags; allow the user to use process variable names instead of arrays of Bit, Byte, Word
• EDS file for RSLinx
- Implement redundancy scenario
• Two Logix controllers connected to a single PB3 Remote Module; for implementing PLC redundancy
• 1 Logix controller connected to 2x PB3 Remote Modules; for implementing Profibus master redundancy
- Conformal coating version; improves and extends the working life and ensures security and reliability of performance in extreme or humid conditions
