This optional module is fitted to the front of a Micromaster 420, which enables it to work in a Profibus network.
For more complex automation applications it is possible to add a Profibus module to allow the Micromaster inverter to be controlled via a Profibus DP serial bus
Operates as a decentralised I/O system, replacing traditional wiring to sensors or actuators
Operates on an RS-485 serial bus system
Operates at speed of up to 12MB
Protocol defined as DIN 19245 and also EN50170, thereby guaranteeing open, multi-sensor communications between Profibus stations
Up to 125 stations can be networked together in a single system
The module can be powered by a external 24V supply, to allow it to remain active in the network even when the inverter is powered down
