IMO XBL-PMEC XGB PROFIBUS-DP master communication module with an RS-485 interface, transmission speeds up to 12 Mbps and support for up to 64 network stations for industrial automation systems.
£408.22
The IMO XBL-PMEC is an industrial PROFIBUS-DP master communication module designed for compatible XGB programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. It enables an XGB controller to operate as a PROFIBUS-DP master, providing high-speed cyclic data exchange with compatible remote I/O, drives, controllers and other PROFIBUS field devices.
The XBL-PMEC provides an RS-485 electrical PROFIBUS-DP interface and supports transmission speeds from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps. Automatic baud-rate detection, Sync/Freeze functionality and configurable high-speed link communication make the module suitable for demanding machine control and distributed industrial automation systems.
With support for up to 64 stations per network and up to 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data per slave, the XBL-PMEC provides substantial capacity for distributed control applications. Network configuration is performed using the dedicated PROFICON configuration tool, allowing PROFIBUS devices and communication parameters to be configured for the application.
PROFIBUS-DP is a fieldbus communication system developed for fast data exchange between industrial controllers and distributed peripheral equipment. The IMO XBL-PMEC allows a compatible XGB PLC to function as the PROFIBUS-DP master, coordinating cyclic communication with connected slave devices across an RS-485 bus network.
Its wide range of selectable transmission speeds allows the network to be configured according to the required cable distance and performance. Using suitable Type A PROFIBUS cable, communication distances can reach 1,200 m at lower baud rates, while transmission at up to 12 Mbps supports high-speed applications over shorter network segments.
