Description
Product Overview
The IS220PPRFH1B PROFIBUS Master Gateway Module from GE’s Mark VIe series enables seamless integration of PROFIBUS DPV0 slave devices into Ethernet-based control systems. It combines a standard processor board with a COM-C communication module from Hilscher GmbH, offering a reliable RS-485 interface via a DE-9 D-sub connector.
This gateway supports transmission rates from 9.6 KBaud to 12 MBaud and manages up to 125 PROFIBUS slaves, each with 244 bytes of input and output data. It offers flexible redundancy options including simplex, dual Ethernet, and hot-backup configurations for high-availability systems.
