Communication via PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS DP enables integration of a wide range of devices:
● Devices for the protection of distribution boards and loads: Protective devices, such as
circuit breakers
● Open-loop and closed-loop control devices: Frequency converters, motor management
systems and soft starters
● Equipment for acquisition of the following information:
– Electrical measured variables: via 7KM PAC3200/4200 measuring devices
– Non-electrical measured variables: via analog/digital converters
PROFINET and PROFIenergy
An increasing number of devices in automation technology offer PROFINET. A 7KM PAC
Switched Ethernet PROFINET expansion module is also available for the 3VA molded case
circuit breakers and the 7KM PAC3200 and 7KM PAC4200 measuring devices.
PROFIenergy is a "Common Application Profile" from Profibus International. Thanks to
PROFIenergy it is possible to create a power data management system with standardized
device interfaces.
Building automation
Intelligent buildings with Total Building Solutions
Unlike structures of the past, modern buildings need to meet many different criteria. Building
services with integrated disciplines such as building automation, fire safety, security, lighting,
and low-voltage power distribution are often indispensable and form the core of a total
building solution. The objective of a total building solution is to achieve optimum integration
of these disciplines in order to make buildings safer, more comfortable, more economical,
and more efficient.
3VA molded case circuit breakers are particularly helpful in meeting power consumption and
comfort targets and should be incorporated via a communication interface into the building
automation system of the Desigo total building solution.
