Communication gateway FBG10

RS232fieldbusPLC

For connection to field buses Note: Not for new developments The FBG series of gateways is used to interface different fieldbus systems, such as Profibus etc., to JVL units equipped with an RS232 interface. They thus function as gateways between a fieldbus and the RS232, translating commands bidirectionally between the two systems. In this way it is possible for example to use a PLC to control velocities, displacement and register contents directly from a fieldbus, and to read error codes, position, register contents, inputs and outputs from connected JVL modules. Important operating parameters, I/O status, etc., are continuously monitored by the FBG10 and can therefore be quickly read by the fieldbus. The FBG10 series of Field Bus Gateways thus provides an inexpensive solution for applications that use a fieldbus together with JVL modules which only have an RS232 interface. Customised models of the FBG10 can also be produced for RS232 protocols other than JVL´s own. • RS232 interface • Fieldbus slave address set on dip-switch • DIN rail mounting • 10-30 VDC operation • Compact unit which is easily mounted • LED indication for Power, Ready, Busy RS232/Fieldbus • Differential bus interfaces with opto-couplers • DSUB and Combicon connectors • Dual port RAM for exchange of data • Can be connected to JVL Controllers AMC1x, AMC2x,SMC2x, DMC10 and Indexer SMI3x
