The CBE30 Communication Board for SIMOTION D425, D435 and D445 allows the SIMOTION to be connected to a PROFINET IO network. The SIMOTION D then assumes the function of a PROFINET IO Controller and can perform the following functions:
- PROFINET IO Controller
- 100 Mbit/s full duplex
- Supports real-time classes of PROFINET IO:
- RT (RealTime)
- IRT (Isochronous RealTime)
- Connects distributed IOs as PROFINET IO devices
- Connects drives as PROFINET IO devices using PROFIdrive compliant with specification V4
- Supports standard Ethernet communication (TCP/IP), e.g. for interfacing SIMOTION SCOUT, HMI or standard TCP, UDP communication, to devices of any other type
- 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.
