The Allen-Bradley SST-PFB-PLC5 co-processor module is designed to enable PLC-5 controllers to operate effectively within a ProfiBus DP network, functioning primarily in master or scanner mode to manage and communicate with slave devices. This module is equipped with four essential communication interfaces: a DP interface for ProfiBus DP network integration, an RS-232 interface for PC connectivity, a processor interface, and a user interface with LED indicators for easy status monitoring. The DP interface supports various communication speeds ranging from 9.6 kilobits per second to 12 megabits per second, connecting via a 9-pin D-shell connector, while the module itself is compatible with Allen-Bradley's 1771 series components, making it a versatile choice for robust network management and configuration.
