Description

The BECKHOFF CX1500-M310 is a PROFIBUS master fieldbus connection designed for integration with the CX series Embedded PC system architecture. This hardware module enables the controller to operate as a PROFIBUS master, facilitating deterministic communication with distributed field devices, sensors, and actuators in industrial automation environments.

The module interfaces directly with the CPU via an ISA plug and play connection utilizing 2 kbytes of DPRAM. It supports PROFIBUS DP, DP-V1, and DP-V2 (MC) communication protocols, allowing flexible data exchange, parameterization, and diagnostic handling for complex machine control topologies.

Features

  • PROFIBUS DP, DP-V1, and DP-V2 (MC) master functionality
  • Data transfer rates ranging from 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud
  • Supports up to 125 PROFIBUS slaves with up to 244 bytes of input, output, parameter, configuration, or diagnostic data per slave
  • Configurable DP cycle times for individual slaves
  • Freely configurable error management for each network participant
  • Single 9-pin D-sub socket bus interface

Applications

  • Industrial machinery and automated manufacturing lines utilizing PROFIBUS fieldbus networks
  • Distributed control architectures connected to BECKHOFF CX series Embedded PCs
  • Process and factory automation systems requiring master-level communication with decentralized slave devices
