Profibus PA Linking Devices - A fully integrated, user friendly solution

The 1788-EN2PAR and 1788-CN2PAR provide a fast, fully integrated and easy-to-use solution for adding profibus PA to any Logix platform. The modules provide a direct link from Ethernet/IP and ControlNet respectively, to the Profibus PA device level protocol without a Profibus DP layer.

Integration into the RSLogix 5000 is made seamless by the module's Add-On-Profile which provides an intuitive environment for the configuration of the field device network. Devices can also be quickly configured using the auto configure tool.

Key Features:

• Fully integrated solution through the PlantPAx process automation system
• No external configuration software
• Configurations and Diagnostics in Add-On-Profile
• Convenient web interface
• Add devices whilst online
• Auto device discovery and configuration
• Supports 24 devices on a single segment
• 8 input and 8 output process variables per field
• Built-in power conditions and protection provide on two process variable ports supply 500mA each
• DTM available for asset

The Add-On-Profile captures all Process Variables in Engineering units and provides Process Variables status data and extended device diagnostics.

There are 5 redundancy options available:

• Redundant linking devices
• Redundant PA media
• Redundant ControlNet media
• Redundant Controllers
• EtherNet/IP Device Level Ring

These linking devices offer premier integration into the PlantPAx/Logix architecture. They have an add-on profile that makes them very easy to configure, built-in power conditioning and the option for redundant configuration.
