Network Controls – Profibus DP Redcom

Network Controls – Profibus DP Redcom 

Compatible with Limitorque non-intrusive MX multi-turn and QX quarter-turn actuators, the Profibus DP with Redcom network protocol complies with the Profibus specification 2.212_V and allows connection with a single or dual redundant channel networks (optional). The new and improved DTM (Device Type Manager) greatly reduces the time required for configuring and acquiring pertinent diagnostic information.

Features & Benefits

  • Significant reduction of redundant channel switchover times from 12-13 seconds to 500 ms
  • Increased safety and product integrity through double-sealed protection that isolates the controls compartment from corrosive or severe environments
  • Absolute encoders with built-in self-test (BIST) capability that switches to redundant circuits in the event of a single sided failure, allowing actuator to continue operation while highlighting the need for inspection
  • Optional 4th conduit for both MX and QX providing the user with dual conduits for network redundancy – one for ingress and one for egress.

Specification

  • Complies with Profibus International specifications, Slave-Redundancy_2.212_v12_Nov04, and transfers communication in ≤ 500 ms per specification. Also supports NAMUR NE-107 (NAMUR, international user association of automation technology in process industries) and (NE-107, recommendation for standardized status signals in the process industries).
