PROFIBUS modules handle up to 244 word data exchange
At the SPS IPC Drives 2014, Molex will be exhibiting it’s Brad SST Communication Modules designed for Rockwell ControlLogix. The company will present the SST-PB3S-CLX-RLL, SST-PB3S-CLX-RLL-CC and SST-PB3S-CLXT-RLL modules in hall 10, booth 110 at the event which takes place on 25 -27 November 2014, in Nuremberg, Germany.
PROFIBUS PNO-certified and fully compatible with the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture environment, the modules handle up to 244 word data exchange for a slave connection of Rockwell ControlLogix systems to PROFIBUS network. Enabling simple, fill-in template configuration, the devices feature a custom add-on profile for Rockwell RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000. The Brad SST Communication Modules, which simplify user implementation and diagnostics, feature a scrolling LCD character display and built-in LEDs which show system, communication and network statuses. Removing the need for Ladder Logic to enable configuration and data transfer between the modules and the processor, the Logix programming environment offers custom add-on profile.
Available for various industrial networks and fieldbus requirements, the Brad SST Communication Modules support various work modes and are suitable for a wide range of factory automation, process control and complex machine applications.
“Pairing open Rockwell connectivity and high-speed deterministic communication, the Brad SST Communication Modules for Rockwell ControlLogix streamlines and optimises the performance of automation equipment on a PROFIBUS DP-V0 network in standard, harsh and corrosive industrial environments,” states George Kairys, Global Product Manager, Molex. “These modules significantly reduce commissioning time by allowing customers to quickly configure and access their data with the ControlLogix CPU.”
“Molex Brad products empower the industrial infrastructure. Designed for easy installation and long-term reliable performance in harsh environments, Brad communication network interfaces, remote scanners and diagnostic tools are fully integrated into the Rockwell Integrated Architecture. For decades, our industry-leading PROFIBUS offerings have provided users the best performance, value and custom solutions for their PROFIBUS networking demands”, adds Kairys.
