In the GE Fanuc series, the 5136-PFB-VME Profibus interface card brings a new choice to the field of industrial automation with its outstanding performance and reliability. The interface card not only supports multiple modes of operation, including DP master, slave, and sending and receiving FDL (Layer 2) information, but also supports the operation of all these modes simultaneously.
The 5136-PFB-VME interface card provides a range of ProfiBus baud rates, including 9.6K, 19.2K, 93.75K, 187.5K, 500K, 750K, 1.5M, 3M, 6M and 12M, to meet the communication needs of different speed requirements. It has an onboard Intel i960 processor and 512 Kbytes of native RAM, which handles communication protocols and data formats and feeds them into shared RAM.
In addition, the interface card has 256 Kbytes of RAM, which is shared with the host in either linear addressing mode or paging mode, and 512 Kbytes of segmented flash memory for storing program and configuration data. ProfiBus configuration information can also be stored in flash memory.
The input and output channels of the 5136-PFB-VME interface card consist of 8 analog input channels and 4 analog output channels, with input voltage range and output voltage range of +/- 10VDC, and input impedance with multiple optional values. In terms of power supply and conversion, the 5136-PFB-VME relates to the application of power supply conversion and DC-DC converters for distributing DC voltage from one level to multiple other levels.
This interface card is used in a wide range of fields, including but not limited to industrial automation, power industry, transportation, energy, public safety, intelligent buildings and communications. By providing stable and reliable data transmission and processing capabilities, the 5136-PFB-VME Profibus interface card provides strong support for building efficient and intelligent industrial control systems.
