Configuration

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a PC-based software configuration solution for managing module configuration files and viewing communications and network diagnostics.

The PCB is a powerful solution not only for new configuration dcs-sis.com files, but also for importing configuration information from previous installations (known jobs) into new projects.

General Specifications

– Single slot – Quantum backplane compatible

– Module is recognised as an option module with access to PLC memory

for data transfer

– Configuration data is stored in the ProTalk® module’s non-volatile memory

– Microsoft Windows XP, 2000 and NT configuration software included with module

– Up to six modules can be placed in a rack

– Local rack – modules must be placed in the same rack as the processor

– Compatible with all common quantum programming software packages, including Concept

(version 2.6 or later), Unity Pro (version 2.2 or later), ProWORX (version 2.20 or later) (HSHS)

or higher) (HSBY for Unity Pro environments only)

– Quantum data types supported: 3x, 4x

– High-speed data transfer on the backplane provides fast data update times

– Sample ladder files available

Functional Specifications

– Easy-to-use bus view drag-and-drop configuration interface via ProSoft

Configuration Builder software (see PSW-PCB datasheet)

– Monitors and modifies process data and DPV1 acyclic data, and provides online slave diagnostics

– Supports PROFIBUS PA slaves on the network via DP/PA coupler or link

– Supports up to 125 slave devices via repeaters

– Supports extended diagnostic data (DPV1)

– Supports all standard baud rates up to 12 Mbits/s

– Automatic baud rate detection at all valid PROFIBUS DPV1 rates

– Supports parameter read/write operations according to PROFIdrive 3.1 standard

– Supports synchronisation and freeze commands

– Alarm indication and acknowledgement processing (DPV1)

– Support for multicast and broadcast messages (DPV1)

– Conformity of the slave configuration to the processor determined by CRC checksums

– Includes FDT/DTM PROFIBUS master transport communication DTM software (part number PSW-CDTM-PDPM)
