General Information

The ILX69-PBM is a PROFIBUS DP master module for the CompactLogix™ platform
which allows the PLC to control data exchange on a PROFIBUS network. The ILX69-
PBM handles the cyclic data exchange between the connected PROFIBUS slaves.
The data exchange between the CompactLogix™ controller and the ILX69-PBM is done
via the I/O process data image using CompactLogix™ backplane technology. The
process image of the CompactLogix™ and of the ILX69-PBM is updated automatically
during runtime.
