PROFIBUS DP Master for ControlLogix

ProSoft Technology’s PROFIBUS DPV1 Master Module (MVI56-PDPMV1), 2005 Plant Engineering's Product of the Year Award finalist, is a user-friendly tool which enables ControlLogix architectures to access field data from up to 125 PROFIBUS DP slaves directly over the backplane. The module uses the protocol independent Field Device Tool (FDT) and Device Type Manager (DTM) technology to standardize the interface between systems and field devices, to simplify configuration, and to assist in asset management. The module acts as a PROFIBUS network scanner, providing high-speed transfer of Cyclic Input and Output data between PROFIBUS devices and the ControlLogix memory table, over the backplane. The PROFIBUS module for ControlLogix (MVI56-PDPMV1) is the ideal solution for many applications where PROFIBUS slave communication is required in a ControlLogix system. The PROFIBUS Master module has been designed to address the expanding interest in connectivity between Rockwell Automation and PROFIBUS in industrial applications such as manufacturing, packaging, water/wastewater, and oil & gas applications.
