ProfiNet is based on Ethernet TCP/IP and completes the proven Profibus
technology for applications where quick data communication in combina-
tion with industrial IT functions is required.
The ProfiNet functional class which is used in the CLOOS Qineo machines
is ProfiNet IO (decentralised periphery) in performance class RT: Real-Time
communication for the I/O data traffic in automation technology.
In a DeviceNet network up to 64 bus participants with baud rates of 125,
250 or 500 kBaud are able to communicate with each other. The DeviceNet
cable provides in addition to the two signals for the data transfer CAN-L
and CAN-H two lines for the supply of the DeviceNet bus participants with
24 Volt operating voltage. The bus participants can be supplied with power
by bus or an external source. The maximum length of the DeviceNet cable
depends on the selected cable type and the baud rate. The installation
is carried out in a bus topology - with or without cable branch box - and
terminating resistors on both ends. The terminating resistors have a value
of 120 Ohm.
The Ethernet/IP Gateway is a slave with which QINEO power sources can be
connected to an Ethernet/IP field bus. So master controllers such as robots
or PLC can be controlled.
The Gateway converts to a Profibus Master and can thus forward the
signals to the QINEO power source. For that the power source must be
equipped with a VBC Profibus module.
