ProSoft Technology's Profibus modules for CompactLogix

ProSoft Technology's ILX69 modules for CompactLogix are a cost-effective PROFIBUS solution.

ProfSoft's PROFIBUS DPV1 Master and Slave modules promise the convenience and functionality of an in-chassis PROFIBUS interface at the cost of a gateway.

With these modules, CompactLogix™ processors can easily communicate with slave devices supporting PROFIBUS DPV0 and DPV1 protocol. The module acts as an input/output module between the PROFIBUS network and the processor supporting complete Master specifications according to IEC 61158.

Master Features:

• AOI: Module integrates with RSLogix 5000 using a sample Add-On Instruction (AOI), reducing configuration time
• Autoscan: The Autoscan feature reduces configuration and start up times by scanning the PROFIBUS network and uploading slave device addresses and configuration information. (Reads and maps nodes automatically to the module.)
• ComDTM: Allows remote Ethernet connectivity for Asset Management Software to significantly lower your maintenance costs. You can configure, commission, maintain and diagnose your fieldbus devices throughout their entire lifecycle with this comprehensive, fully integrated engineering and maintenance environment
• SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing configuration files in the event of a disaster

Slave Features:

• Ethernet port allows remote configuration and maintenance
• Supports both I/O control and messaging
• Explicit ladder logic CIP message blocks provide slave status diagnostic data and acyclic messaging
• Module appears to the CompactLogix controller as a standard I/O module allowing it to be configured via RSLogix™ 5000
• Equipped with a diagnostic interface and rotary switches for setting of the bus address

Intrinsically safe isolators designed by MTL

The MTL5500 range modules from EATON are versatile yet simple to apply; use the latest technology and yet are well proven.

These contrasting attributes stem from the progression in the design and manufacture of isolators for intrinsic safety and the application of innovative technology to achieve the required separation and segregation of the circuits.

The MTL5500 (DIN-rail mounting) and MTL4500 (backplane mounting) isolators share a common design, differing only in the mechanical mounting and connection methods.

• Compact modular design with DIN rail mounting
• High packing density
• Single and multi-channel I/O modules
• 3-port isolation with low power dissipation
• Compatible with MTL5000

New and enhanced ControlLogix I/O for advanced control applications

New ControlLogix Analogue I/O from Allen-Bradley has been enhanced for advanced control applications.

Three 8-channel isolated designs and 12-channel and 16-channel non-isolated designs with improved functionality of analogue I/O provide faster performance, more accuracy, better resolution and cost savings due to less space needed in the chassis for additional modules and power supplies.

Key Features:

• Isolated 8-channel and non-Isolated 12- and 16-channel modules with stability over the entire temperature operating range
• No field calibration required
• Advanced precision using 24-bit design
• Per channel status and fault LED annunciation

8-Channel modules also include:

• Time stamping in Peer-to-Peer applications
• Synchronised input sampling across all modules
• 1ms input sampling of floating point values
• Further technical product information is available by clicking here
