Figure 1-4 SLAMf Series RS485/Analog Terminal Connections Communication Interfaces The SLAMf Series supports 0-5 Vdc, 4-20 mA, DeviceNet, Profibus, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET communication protocols. DeviceNet, Profibus, and RS485 are multidrop connections that allow a maximum of 64 devices for DeviceNet, 128 devices for Profibus and 32 devices for RS485 to be connected on the same network.
Brooks Instrument Section 1 Introduction Figure 1-5 SLAMf Series Profibus Terminal Connections Profibus Communications The Brooks SLAMf is now equipped to support the Profibus communication protocol. Profibus is a fieldbus-based automation standard of Profibus and Profinet Interna- tional (PI). Via a single bus cable, Profibus links controller or control systems with decentralized field devices (sensors and actuators) on the field level and also enables consistent data exchange with higher ranking communication systems.
The Brooks SLAMf Digital Series is also available with DeviceNetTM communication capability. DeviceNet is an open digital protocol capable of high speeds and easy system connectivity. Brooks Instrument has several of its devices available on this popular networking standard, and is a member of ODVATM (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association), the governing standard body for DeviceNet.
