Link for Profibus to PCs

Simatic Net CP 5711 is an external adapter that links commercially available PCs to Profibus via their onboard USB 2.0 port. The Simatic Net CP 343-1 ERPC expansion module connects Simatic-S7-300 controllers with databases via industrial ethernet.

The adapter supports all MPI and Profibus communications services up to a rate of 12 Mbps and features a 24 V power supply connection in case the USB interface of the PC is unable to supply sufficient power.

The Profibus and USB connectors can be locked mechanically so that cables are securely connected in a typical commissioning and servicing environment. The communications processor can also optionally be mounted on a DIN rail.

In addition to the connection with other automation systems, the device allows direct linking of databases eg, Oracle, MySQL, MS-SQL and DB2 using optional software packages.
