Description
The 150252A-01 (also listed as 781351-01) is a state-of-the-art module in the category of Industrial Communication Interfaces, specifically designed for seamless integration with CompactRIO systems and NI Single-Board RIO devices. This module, known by its model name, cRIO-PB-S, is a CompactRIO PROFIBUS DP Slave Module that boasts a single port for connectivity.
Manufactured by National Instruments, a leader in the field, this module supports the PROFIBUS DP Slave Interface, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration with existing systems. It stands out for its ability to handle a maximum PROFIBUS baud rate of 12000 kbits/s, with an automatic network baud rate detection feature that simplifies setup and reduces potential for error.
The cRIO-PB-S is capable of managing cyclic I/O data up to 240 Bytes each for input and output, with a process image data size of up to 8 kbytes. Connectivity is facilitated through one 9-pin D-SUB port, utilizing an isolated RS485 interface to ensure robust and reliable communication. This module is designed with safety in mind, featuring an isolation voltage of 500 VDC.
With a modest power requirement of 2.5 W in active mode for transmitting and receiving, it is an energy-efficient choice for many industrial applications. Furthermore, the module comes equipped with an easy-to-use FPGA driver interface and provides detailed sample code to accelerate development and integration processes. It supports a wide range of PROFIBUS data rates, from 9600 bit/s to 12000 kbits/s, providing flexibility to meet diverse system requirements.
