Woodhead BradCommunications ™ Direct-Link ™ PROFIBUS-DP network interface card

Common capability can connect up to 126 slave stations; Support direct access to variable types such as bit, byte, word, and doubleword; It can share the bus with other main stations in the network, and supports up to 122 bytes of input/output data consistency.

2. PROFIBUS-DP slave characteristics (only supports passive mode)

Access mode: DP-V0 slave passive mode, does not manage PROFIBUS tokens.

Memory configuration: Input/output memory size can be configured (0-244 bytes).

Address and format: The slave address can be configured through software (0~126); The data format supports Intel or Motorola formats.

Limitations: The "Set_Slave_Address" and "Extended Diagnostic" functions are not supported; Provide GSD files (included with CD-ROM) for system integration configuration.
