Repeater with integrated Profibus analysis!
The DP Diag Rep X2 extension module is easily connected to the INBLOX® main module and connected directly to the backplane bus. Data exchange and power supply for this module is via the backplane bus. Each of these extension modules has an integrated PROFIBUS analysis that monitors and assesses the entire telegram communication logically and physically. The determined network quality can always be requested via the web interface of the INBLOX® Ethernet main module or directly via the status LEDs.
The extension module DP Diag Rep X2 provides a PROFIBUS interface for connecting a PROFIBUS connector via SUB-D socket. The PROFIBUS network can be extended by another segment or analyzed by another PROFIBUS master system per extension module, according to the configuration of the INBLOX® Ethernet master module.
If a segment terminates or begins directly on a connector of the extension module, the bus termination resistor should be activated directly on the connector. The PG socket on the connector can be used as an online measurement point for suitable diagnostic tools.
