Product information

  • Compact top-hat rail module with dimensions of 25 x 95 x 95 mm (30 % smaller than previous model).
  • Standardized size for all bus versions.
  • Based on ARM Cortex-M processor technology for high data throughput.

Interfaces and functions:

  • Interfaces: - PROFINET device interface with 2-port switch.
  • Serial interfaces: RS232/RS422/RS485 (transfer rates up to 6 MBaud, ten times faster than before).
  • Standard Ethernet port.
  • Optional CAN interface.

Supported protocols:

  • MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) and system redundancy S2.
  • Transmission options: Up to 1024 bytes of input and output data.

Advantages

  • Optimized development processes: Reduced design time and time-to-market thanks to ready-to-use communication modules.
  • Modular design for cost-optimised solutions.
  • User-friendliness:
    • Configuration via a web interface via Ethernet interface.
    • New service function via push-button for easy support.

Programming options

  • Flexibility through script programming:
    • Freely programmable with Deutschmann script language (easy to learn).
  • Support for proprietary and standard protocols.
  • High speed: Acceleration by a factor of 80, simple scripts can be processed in a few microseconds.
  • Debugging via USB, no additional hardware required.

The module is ideal for a wide range of automation components and offers a modern, efficient solution for integration into PROFINET networks.
