CBE20 Communication Board

The CBE20 Communication Board can be used to connect to a PROFINET IO network via a CU320-2 Control Unit.

The SINAMICS S120 drive system therefore assumes the function of a PROFINET IO device and can perform the following functions:

• PROFINET IO device
• 100 Mbit/s full duplex
• Supports real-time classes of PROFINET IO:
  • RT (Real-Time)
  • IRT (Isochronous Real-Time), minimum send cycle 500 ?s
• Connection to control systems as PROFINET IO devices in accordance with PROFIdrive, Specification V4
• Standard TCP/IP communication for engineering processes using the STARTER commissioning tool
• Integrated 4-port switch with four RJ45 sockets based on the PROFINET ASIC ERTEC400. The optimum topology (line, star, tree) can therefore be configured without additional external switches
• Supports the functions "media redundancy" and "shared device"

The CBE20 Communication Board is required if:

• a SINAMICS S120 or SINAMICS S150 converter with a CU320?2 DP Control Unit (PROFIBUS) should be connected to a PROFINET-IO network
• SINAMICS Link is to be used to directly exchange data between several CU320?2 DP (PROFIBUS) or CU320?2 PN (PROFINET) Control Units without using a higher-level control system
• if EtherNet/IP support is required.
