Description

The 8502-BI-DP bus interface module is available in the 8000 series

8502-BI- Bus Interface Module (DP) The BIM provides a communication link between the 8000 series I/O modules and the A profibus -DP host. It collects data from modules at high speeds while the LAN operates at speeds up to 6mbaud, allowing the host to respond quickly to conditions during control.
BIM collects data from I/O modules and makes them available at the owner’s request. It’s a slave to the Profibus mainframe. As well as cyclic data exchange, which is necessary to read the input BIM supports Profibus Extended, which supports writing diagnostic status information to the output data. It also supports a number of special features that have been implemented to allow for high integrity system operation and field maintenance.
◆ Connect the MTL8000 node to the Profibus-DP host LAN
◆ Supports up to 24 I/O module HART processes and state variables through Profibus-DP
◆ Expansion module and channel status diagnosis
◆ LAN speed up to 6mbaud
◆ Configure with non-volatile memory
The software can be maintained via a local port or Profibus host configured with HART® via a communication adapter
The 8502 supports parameterization from the Profibus host. This is configured on a “per module” basis, that is, all channels on one channel module carry the same configuration. The configuration is created by the Profibus configurator using the details provided in the GSD file. This method is fast and builds can be configured based on it on “logical” modules that represent physical modules. Modules are added one at a time to the configuration and parameters are selected to apply to all channels of the module.
