A-B Remote I/O Adapter to PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master Gateway

Product Description

The ProLinx® family Allen Bradley Remote I/O Adapter to PROFIBUS DPV1 Master communications module (5604-RIO-PDPMV1) creates a powerful connection between devices on a Remote I/O network and PROFIBUS slave devices. The module is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway that provides one Remote I/O port and a PROFIBUS DPV1 Master with a RS-485 9-pin D shell female connector interface with isolated Opto-Couplers.

The RIO interface is an adapter (slave) which can be connected to a scanner (master) that controls the data transfer. The module also supports limited high speed data transfer via the Input and Output images.

The PROFIBUS DP Master protocol driver (PDPMV1) supports complete Master specifications according to IEC 61158 on either a Mono-Master or Multi-Master network. The module supports the DPV1 specification.

Product Applications

Functional Specifications

Internal Database

The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.

The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.

Status Data Area

This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.

Configuration Data Area

This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.

A-B Remote I/O Adapter Specifications

The RIO interface is an adapter (slave) and is connected to a scanner (master) that controls the data transfer.

As an example, the master/slave relationship can be accomplished using the 460X-RIO-XXX module (adapter/slave unit) with an Allen-Bradley PLC5 (scanner/master unit). Ladder logic must be programmed into a PLC to perform BTR/BTW commands to receive and transmit data between the module and the PLC. The module also supports limited high speed data transfer via the Input and Output images.

PROFIBUS DP V1 Master Protocol Specifications

The module supports complete Master specifications according to IEC 61158. Acyclic parameter data can be transferred with Class 1 or Class 2 DPV1 services, allowing processors to easily communicate with slave devices supporting PROFIBUS DPV0/V1 protocol.

The ProLinx PDPMV1 PROFIBUS Master module acts as a PROFIBUS network scanner, transferring Input and Output data between PROFIBUS devices and the network.
