IE/PB LINK HA and IE/PB LINK PN IO
Use in 2 operation modes possible
Standard mode
- Standard mode enables:
- Loading programs and configuration data via PG/OP communication
- Data record routing for configuration and diagnostics of field devices with the SIMATIC PDM tool
- S7 routing e.g. for cross-network loading of SIMATIC PLCs on PROFIBUS
Operating as a PROFINET IO proxy
- When operated as a PROFINET IO proxy, from the perspective of the PN IO controller, all PROFIBUS DP slaves connected after the IE/PB LINK are treated as PN IO devices according to the PROFINET standard. The IE/PB LINK is the proxy of the connected PROFIBUS DP slaves.
Both IE/PB LINK versions offer the possibility to use different transmission media by employing BusAdapters.
