PBDP-110

The PBDP-110 External PROFIBUS Interface provides PROFIBUS connectivity to Toshiba ASDs. The PBDP-110 supports PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Periphery) as specified in European standard EN 50170 and can also co-exist simultaneously on networks using PROFIBUS-FMS. The PBDP-110 supports all PROFIBUS baud rates from 9.6kbaud to 12Mbaud. The network baud rate is automatically detected and continuously monitored during operation so no parameter settings are necessary.

There are two common serial (aka logic level) ports for connection of Toshiba 7-series, 9-series, 11-series or VF-nC1 ASDs. ASD connections use the same standard RJ45 style 8-conductor UTP patch cables: any standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (found in most electronics stores) 5 meters or less in length can be used. ASD connections are automatically established and continuously monitored: no drive configuration needs to be performed to connect the unit to the drives. Just plug it in - it's that simple.

The PBDP-110 has 3 separate isolated circuitry sections. Each drive is fully optically isolated from each other, and both drives are optically isolated from the PROFIBUS network. By using optically isolated connections to the drives and the PROFIBUS network, grounding differential problems are eliminated and noise immunity characteristics are greatly improved.
