Product Description

The 2NW100.59-010 is a PROFIBUS Network Module made in 2010 that employs two RS485 interfaces, which are electrically isolated to connect with a PROFIBUS network. The B&R ID Code $10 identifies this module, and it is C-UL-US listed because it meets very high safety standards. It supports different baud rates and distances such as 9.6 kBit/sec, 19.2 kBit/sec, and 93.75 kBit/sec up to a maximum of 1200 meters; 187.5 kBit/sec at 1000 meters; and 500 kBit/sec at 400 meters compatible with base plate modules BP101 and BP110.

This module works under the standard of PROFIBUS (DIN19245 part1, part2) with the principle of token passing upon the master-slave principle beneath its function, thus supporting up to 127 stations along with one repeater in physical bus topology where it directly connects to the bus through shielded twisted pair transfer media. The ERROR, RUN (network processor initialized by PCC CPU), CONNECT (at least one connection established), COMM (PROFIBUS transaction is taking place), BUS B LED currently has no function though Tx (data transmission) and Rx (data reception) LEDs serve as diagnostic status indicators.

There are four-module address settings on this module together with station address setting and baud rate setting that enable configuration flexibility; power consumption is limited to a maximum of 15 Watts while its dimensions are height=285mm, width=40mm, and depth=185mm. Software from B&R operates the NW100 PROFIBUS module, which enhances its functionality and ease during integration into PROFIBUS networks, which are used in industrial automation areas for communication to be reliable and efficient too.
