PBpro ETH

Remote PROFIBUS Interfaces for Use as Master or Slave

PBpro ETH is a family of interfaces for remote access to one, two, three or four PROFIBUS segments via Ethernet for device parameterization, controller programming and data acquisition. On the PC the remote interface acts like a local PROFIBUS board.

Overview

Wide Range of Applications

De-facto standard for device parameterization via FDT/DTM
PROFIBUS connection for PC-based measuring and monitoring systems
External PROFIBUS interface for PC-based field devices and embedded computer systems

Individual Protocol Settings for Each Channel

Access to process data and parameters in connected devices as PROFIBUS DP Master or Master Class 2 (also simultaneously with existing control systems)
Data exchange with controllers as PROFIBUS DP Slave
Integration into PROFIBUS FMS systems, or into proprietary applications via PROFIBUS FDL
Each channel acting as an individual PROFIBUS PC interface

Easy Administration and Efficient Integration

Assignment of IP address and configuration with accompanying “Search and Configure” tool and integrated web interface
Commented sample programs for easy use of the PROFIBUS application programming interface (API)
Free-of-charge communication DTM for PBpro ETH supporting parameterization of PROFIBUS devices by FDT tools
