• Fast deterministic data exchange between CPUs with PROFINET controller, even beyond network boundaries
• Configuration with two PROFINET devices completely independent of the communication technology

Data transmission between two S7-1500 IO controllers beyond a PROFINET limit

• Very simple configuration of the data exchange via virtual IO modules or alternatively via data records for larger amounts of data
• Simultaneous data transfer to up to 3 CPUs on own network side and/or up to 4 CPUs on opposite network side
• Easy to integrate into any PROFINET network with 2 ports per network side
• Fieldbus connection via a SIMATIC BusAdapter;
  this allows free selection of the connection system (RJ45, FC cable direct connection) and connection hardware (copper, POF, PCF, glass fiber). FO-to-copper media conversion can also be realized economically and without external converters.

Additional functions

• Quantity structures
  • Cyclic transmission: Up to 1 440 bytes each for input and output data
  • Data record transfer: Up to 4 096 bytes per slot. Buffering of up to eight data records per slot
  • Maximum 16 input/output areas for data exchange
  • Max. 254 bytes of input and 253 bytes of output data per module
• Exchange of fail-safe data between two F-CPUs via F-SendDP and F_ReceiveDP
• Shared device with up to four IO controllers per network side
• Module-internal shared input / shared output (MSI/MSO)
• Device replacement without programming device
  • With topological configuration via neighborhood detection (LLDP)
  • Without topological configuration via redundant storage of the station name in the BusAdapter. A separate removable memory card is not required.
• Reset button for restoring the factory settings
• Redundant power supply
• Electrical isolation between the two PROFINET IO subnets
