Product Overview

PROFIBUS DP, DP-V1 and DP-V2 (MC): the PROFIBUS PCI Fieldbus Cards from Beckhoff can master the PROFIBUS protocol with all its features. Thanks to the PROFIBUS chip developed in-house, the cards are equipped with the latest version of the PROFIBUS technology – including high-precision isochronous mode for axis control and expanded diagnostic options. These cards are the only ones to support different polling rates for the slaves and can even synchronize several channels accurately with each other. Features: cycle times from 200 µs master, slave and PROFIBUS monitor up to 12 Mbit/s powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces The error management for each bus user is freely configurable. It is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the “GSE” files. In TwinCAT, all functions are conveniently available. But other applications also benefit from the diverse features: general drivers for different Windows versions and convenient configuration tools are included in the TwinCAT I/O software package. High-level language programs use the DLL, Visual Basic applications the ActiveX interface. Applications with OPC interface can access process data and parameters via an OPC server.
