Communication Modules for Industrial Networks
January 1, 2016
Molex Incorporated recently released Brad SST Communication Modules SST-PB3S-CLX-RLL, SST-PB3S-CLX-RLL-CC and SST-PB3S-CLXT-RLL for Rockwell ControlLogix.
"Pairing open Rockwell connectivity and high-speed deterministic communication, the Brad SST Communication Modules for Rockwell ControlLogix streamlines and optimizes the performance of automation equipment on a PROFIBUS DP-V0 network in standard, harsh and corrosive industrial environments," said George Kairys, Global Product Manager, Molex. "These modules significantly reduce commissioning time by allowing customers to quickly configure and access their data with the ControlLogix CPU."
Designed to handle up to 244 word data exchange for a slave connection of Rockwell ControlLogix systems to PROFIBUS network, the Brad SST Communication Modules are PROFIBUS PNO-certified and fully compatible with the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture environment. The modules feature a custom add-on profile for Rockwell RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 and enable simple, fill-in template configuration. The PROFIBUS dedicated slave modules, which include a scrolling LCD character display and built-in LEDs showing system, communication, and network status, are designed to simplify user implementation and diagnostics. The custom add-on profile in the Logix programming environment eliminates the need for Ladder Logic for configuration and data transfer between the Brad SST Module and the processor.
"Molex Brad products empower the industrial infrastructure. Designed for easy installation and long-term reliable performance in harsh environments, Brad communication network interfaces, remote scanners and diagnostic tools are fully integrated into the Rockwell Integrated Architecture," said Kairys.
Brad SST Communication Modules support various work modes and are available for various industrial networks and fieldbus requirements, and are designed for a wide range of factory automation, process control and complex machine applications.
