GE Intelligent Platforms: Industrial Network Interfaces
May 23, 2013
New CANopen and CC-Link bus interfaces for the PACSystems RSTi distributed I/O enable the I/O and a range of control devices to connect on the same network, reducing wiring and network complexity.
The system is based on global standards and provides an open, consistent and standard high performance communication link between field I/O and controller. The unit's integration into the control system also simplifies development and commissioning that results in increased productivity. Users can standardize on the I/O system regardless of the controller type or bus interface for a wide range of applications which, in turn, reduces spare parts, training and support costs. There are more than 80 different module types to choose from for discrete, process, motion and specialty applications. In addition to CANopen and CC-Link, interfaces are available for PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, MODBUS/TCP, and MODBUS serial.
