4.1 Profibus DP Network Adapter EPXPBS001
The EPXPBS001 network adapter is a PROFIBUS-DP device certified by the PROFIBUS user
organization. The network adapter is the head module for the RSTi-EP communication bus,
to which up to 64 active RSTi-EP modules can be connected. The PROFIBUS-DP network
adapter has a Sub-D socket and supports all services in accordance with the DP-V1
specification.
The network adapter can be accessed with a system-independent web server application via
the USB service interface. Thus, all information, such as diagnostics, status values and
parameters, can be read and all connected modules can be simulated or forced.
The station’s main power supply is integrated in the network adapter. Power is supplied via
two 4-pole connectors, separated into the input and output current paths.
