PROFIBUS-DP Gateway

PROFIBUS-DP Gateway (R101A)

for R2600/R2601 compact controllers or R7101 controller modules

The R101A gateway allows for the connection of up to 31 R2600/R2601 compact controllers, or 31 R7101 controller modules, to the PROFIBUS DP, after they have been interlinked via the integrated RS 485 bus. Decentrally installed closed-loop control circuits with autonomous display and operating functions can thus be configured and visualized from a central point.
In combination with the gateway, the controllers are transformed into true PROFIBUS DP users. Data which are exchanged amongst the PROFIBUS DP master and the controllers are converted into the required format for each of the respective devices. This makes it possible to read out control and events data in a cyclical fashion, to read and write controller parameters and to generate data lists and query them cyclically. Only controllers of the same type can be addressed by any given single gateway.

Complicated programming is eliminated thanks to the included function modules for the SIMATIC S5 and S7. The comprehensive operating instructions include information regarding the generation of user specific function modules if other controller are used.
