The DeviceNet™ fieldbus coupler enables the flexible INTERBUS Inline automation kit to be operated with DeviceNet™ as well.
The fieldbus coupler allows an INTERBUS Inline station to be inserted at any point in a DeviceNet™ network.
The fieldbus coupler is a slave in the DeviceNet™ and a master in the lower-level INTERBUS Inline local bus.
The address of the DeviceNet™ slave can easily be set from outside by means of DIP switches. DeviceNet™ is connected via a Twin Combicon plug. The operating voltage for the fieldbus coupler and the electronics can be fed using a separate power plug.
For the DeviceNet™ project planning, a regularly updated EDS file (Electronica Data Sheet) is provided in the Product Information Service (see below). The DeviceNet™ fieldbus coupler supports the proven INTERBUS Inline diagnostics as well as the typical diagnostics objects for the DeviceNet. Local LEDs enable precise diagnostics.
Please note the following when you configure the system:
The total logic current of all terminals connected to a DeviceNet™ fieldbus coupler must not exceed the maximum permissible total current of 2 A. Therefore, depending on your configuration, the number of terminal blocks that you can connect may be less than 63.
