In the category Hardware, profichip GmbH competed successfully with its product proficonn. The high integrated interface modules enable the immediate hardware integration of a PROFIBUS-DP slave interface with a transmission rate up to 12 Mbit/s. The development of VPC3+S, the smallest PROFIBUS-ASICs worldwide of profichip GmbH, provides the best basis for a spacesaving and cost effective interface in module type. Thereby all PROFIBUS protocol versions (DP-V0, DP-V1 and DP-V2) will be supported.
The module contains beneath the PROFIBUS protocol ASIC the complete RS485 interface including DC/DC transducer, dc decoupling and RS485 driver chip.
The power supply for both modules is 3,3V combined with a very less current consumption. State LEDs displaying the available power supply and the active data interchange.
