2.9.5 Network Modules for Profibus/DP
The Profibus/DP network enables communication between a master module and decentralised
slave modules, with data transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps. With a MELSEC PLC as master,
PROFIBUS/DP allows quick and simple connection of sensors and actuators, even from differ
-
ent manufacturers.
A MELSEC PLC, serving as slave in a PROFIBUS/DP network, can execute decentralised con
-
trol tasks and simultaneously exchange data with the PROFIBUS/DP master.
To help reduce costs PROFIBUS/DP uses RS485 technology with shielded 2-wire cabling.
