Profibus-DP Network Slave Module
The Profibus-DP Network Slave Module (IC200BEM002) is a communications module
that exchanges PLC reference table data on the Profibus network. The VersaMax PLC
CPU can read and write this data as though it were conventional bit- and word-type I/O
data.
Multiple Profibus-DP Network Slave Modules may be used in the same VersaMax PLC.
Each one can read up to 244 bytes of data from the network, and send up to 244 bytes of
output data. The total amount of combined inputs and outputs is 384 bytes.
For information about the Profibus-DP Network Slave Module, refer to the
VersaMax
System Profibus Network Modules User’s Manual
(GFK-1534, revision A or later).
DeviceNet Network Control Module
The DeviceNet Network Control Module (IC200BEM103) is a communications module
that can be configured to operate as a master, as a slave, or as both simultaneously. It can
exchange up to 512 bytes of input data and 512 bytes of output data with other devices on
the DeviceNet network. The VersaMax PLC CPU can read and write this data as though it
were conventional bit- and word-type I/O data.
The Network Control Module operates as a Group 2 Only Client (master) and can
communicate only with Group 2 Slave devices. It can also operate as a Group 2 Only or a
UCMM-capable Server (slave), or as a master and slave simultaneously.
For information about the DeviceNet Network Control Module, refer to the
VersaMax
System DeviceNet Network Communications User’s Manual
(GFK-1533).
Asi Network Master Module
The VersaMax AS-Interface Network Master (IC200BEM104) conforms to the AS-
Interface Specification for the master AS-Interface protocol. It can be used to connect a
VersaMax PLC or I/O station NIU to an Actuator-Sensor network.
The AS-Interface module supports communications with up to 31 slave devices,
exchanging to exchange up to 4 bits of input data and 4 bits of output data per slave
address on the Actuator-Sensor network.
For information about the AS-Interface Network Master Module, refer to the
VersaMax
System ASI Network Communications User’s Manual
(GFK-1697).
