Introduction
Introduction
The ProfiBus interface works as a bi-directional bridge between the
ProfiBus network and the Agilent RS-485 link. The interface provides
input data (measures) and output data (parameters) to the
controller.
One to four TSP Controllers equipped with the RS-485 serial
interface option can be connected to the RS-485 sub-network (contact
Agilent personnel for the related Part Numbers). Each Profibus
Gateway replies to a single Profibus address, set using the dial
selectors on the panel. Each TSP Controller can be controlled/read
singularly by the master Profibus since each one is acknowledged as
a Profibus Gateway “module”.
In addiction, the interface provides standard and user related
diagnostics in order to allow the user to manage the exceptions.
This gateway is classified as DP slave device.
