November 18, 2010 - Ethernet Direct announces Panda PUP-550 Panda, a PROFIBUS to RS-232/422/485 converter especially designed for the slave devices of PROFIBUS DP protocol. PUP-550 comes with RS-232, RS-422 & RS-485 serial communication method. It is equipped with Hybrid COM1 port design for users to easily choose one type of COM port to integrate serial devices into PROFIBUS network without difficulties. PROFIBUS is used at the field level and provides benefits for almost any application in Factory Automation, Process Automation, drives & motor Control and functional safety. Devices such as remote I / O, drives, motor starters, weighing & dosing systems, human machine interfaces, energy-systems can be connected.
PUP-550 is suitable for both fast, time-critical applications and complex communication tasks with safety and stability when use in industrial applications.
