Product Overview
The SST
™
Profibus interface card connects your VMEbus computer to Profibus DP-V0,
DP-V1 and FDL (layer 2) networks. It provides high-speed deterministic communication
between automation systems and their decentralized peripherals.
between automation systems and their decentralized peripherals.
The SST
™
Profibus VME interface card connects the following to Profibus:
•
VME based programmable controllers
•
VME based motion controllers
•
VME based computers
The SST
™
Profibus VME interface card interfaces with the host processor through
shared dual ported memory. A fully documented host memory interface is provided.
The card does not require external libraries, which simplifies custom driver development
in your chosen operating system. DOS example programs with C source are included
with each card to assist you with your software development.

Configuration Tool
The PROFIBUS Console is an optional Windows-32-bit application, which supports the
off-line commissioning of PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 networks.
Very intuitive, the Drag & Drop user interface of the console provides a simple setup by
off-line commissioning of PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 networks.
Very intuitive, the Drag & Drop user interface of the console provides a simple setup by
using the PROFIBUS GSD files supplied by the manufacturer of the field devices. All
configuration files will be downloaded later to the SST
