EASY 204-DP

More powerful fieldbus systems, such as Profibus DP, are used for more complex automation tasks in which the user has to transfer relatively large sets of data, e.g. several analog values, setpoint values, counter readings or time parameters. Profibus DP can transfer up to 20 Bytes per station in each bus cycle, and can link up to 126 stations at distances of up to 1200 m. This bus connection, the easy204-DP, makes easy control relays even more flexible and versatile, because it enables complete easy parameter sets to be read or even exchanged via the bus. This
comes into its own, for example, where recipes for mixed products need to be replaced and new parameter values in easy are therefore required. The time values, clock settings, counter readings, setpoint or actual values can then be monitored by a suitable bus master via this high-performance fieldbus system.
