The PROFIBUS-DP PS416-NET-441 slave card enables the connection of PS416 modular controllers to systems and plants with the standard PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus.

Features

• Space required: 1 slot
• Intelligent card with its own processor. Protocol processing does not mean any additional burden on the cycle time of the PS416
• Reading of slave diagnostics data through standard Sucosoft S40 function block
• Isolated RS 485 interface for network line
• LEDs indicate operating status
• When used as the first or last physical station on the PROFIBUS-DP line, the bus terminating resistors in the data plug must be activated
• Data transfer rate of up to 12 Mbit/s
• Up to 244 input and 244 output bytes with the total limited to 400 bytes
• The number of intelligent cards that can be plugged into the basic unit depends on the available address space. Up to 56 KBytes of address space are available for intelligent cards. The number of PS416-NET-441 cards that can be used also depends on the maximum current requirement of all the cards used in the rack.
• The certification of the PROFIBUS Users Organization (PNO) guarantees the conformity of PS416-NET-441 with EN 50170 and thus interoperability with other products
