Components on PROFIBUS DP
Function
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
... e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine
concepts with multiple controls, distributed across individual machine
modules
Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high channel
density
Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet configuration and
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters, safety
technology and individual grouping of load groups
Modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-
related applications with no control cabinet; with features such as
compact designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology,
PROFINET connection and live module replacement.
I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for cabinet-free use
close to the machine with flexible and fast ECOFAST or M12
connection methods.
DP/AS-Interface link 20E and DP/AS-Interface link Advanced for

the PROFIBUS DP gateway to AS-Interface
DP/DP coupler for connecting two PROFIBUS DP networks

ADI4 (Analog Drive Interface for four axes) for connection of

drives with analog ±10 V setpoint interface or for external
encoders
IM174 (interface module for four axes) for connection of drives

with analog ±10 V setpoint interface, for external encoders, or for
connection of stepper drives with pulse-direction interface
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor and
supply the power required to operate the motors.
Also can be operated as an isochronous slave on PROFIBUS DP.
