CAN bus protocol of the Z-Card via a standard PROFINET interface. The current state of all actuators and sensors of up to 32 Z-Card control boards are saved locally on the AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card in a process image which is exchanged with a higher controling device via the PROFINET interface.
Chapter 1. Description The AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card of Analytica GmbH is designed to interconnect a programming logic controller (PLC) to the Z-Card control boards of Interroll Automation GmbH. The AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card provides easy access to the propriorty CAN bus protocol of the Z-Card via a standard PROFINET interface.

Chapter 2. Installation and startup 2.1. Assembly The AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card can be mounted directly to 35mm connection rails according to DIN EN 50 022 (TS 35). The DIN rail must be connected to ground and its material rail must be resistant to corrosion.
Important A bus terminating resistor of 120 Ohm must be connected at the beginning and the end of each CAN bus. If the AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card is connected to the beginning or the end of the CAN bus, the termination has to be activated via the CAN termination switch.
PROFINET IO. Each Z-Card is managed by a seperate PROFINET IO slot. The slot number is identical to the Z-Card-ID. The AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card provides slot 1 up to slot 32, each assimilating a single Z-Card module. Gaps are not allowed.
Process data 3.3. Troubleshooting Here are some typical faults of the AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card during operation: PROFINET communication problem The communication between a AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card and the PROFINET controller is malfunctioning or the interconnection between the devices is interrupted.
2. Drag the device icon into the hardware configuration pane and wire the Profinet interface with a Profinet IO controller. 3. Switch to the device view of the AnaGate PROFINET Z-Card, drag Z-Cards into free slots and assign IO adresses.
