Profibus DP I/O at 1769-L36ERM

3 posts in this topic

Hi all, just wondering if you guys can suggest a module to interface with an external I/O module that uses Profibus. I have the following Set-up PLC: 1769-L36ERM DI: 1769-IQ16F DO: 1769-OB16 Profibus Slave I/O: Beckhoff any idea, which I/O module I would need for my PLC to interface with the Beckhoff I/O Module? It's a BK3100 or BK3110Thanks guys

You're going to be better off by getting a Beckhoff network adapter module that supports EtherNet/IP. Your options for Profibus DP Master capability with the CompactLogix are either a backplane module like the Prosoft MVI69-PDPMV1 or a standalone network gateway like the HMS Fieldbus Anybus-X.

Molex makes a SST card that will communicate with the profibus. It is plug and play the only problem I ran into is the SSI transducers words coming in are different.
