Communication

As an accessory, the 170DNT11000 serves as a crucial component in establishing Profibus DP communication within a system. It operates as a Master/Slave device, allowing for bidirectional communication between the connected devices. The transmission rate supported by the adapter ranges from 9.6 to 12 Mbit/s, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer.

The communication adapter utilizes a twisted pair as the transmission support medium, which is a commonly used cabling solution in industrial applications. It supports multidrop and ring topologies, providing flexibility in system configuration. The adapter allows for the connection of up to 126 devices, enabling extensive network integration.

The electrical connection of the adapter is made through a SUB-D 9 connector, which provides a reliable and secure connection between the adapter and the devices it interfaces with. This standardized connector type simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with various devices and systems.

Cables

In terms of cable length, the 170DNT11000 supports a maximum length of 3937.01 ft (1200 m). This allows for the installation of devices over considerable distances, ensuring connectivity across a large area. The addressing of the adapter is switch selectable, allowing for easy configuration and identification of devices within the Profibus DP network.

Features

One of the notable features of the 170DNT11000 is its fail-safe capability. In the event of a communication failure or fault, the adapter is designed to enter a fail-safe state, ensuring that critical safety measures are taken. This feature enhances the reliability and safety of the overall system.

Communication

The control parameter for communication is CRC-16, which ensures data integrity and accuracy during transmission. The adapter derives its power supply from the I/O base, eliminating the need for separate power sources or additional wiring.

Standards

The 170DNT11000 is marked with the CE marking, indicating its compliance with applicable European safety standards. It features a local signaling mechanism consisting of a green LED to indicate bus faults (BF). This visual indicator helps in diagnosing and troubleshooting communication issues quickly.

With its robust design, compatibility with multiple automation platforms, and reliable Profibus DP communication capabilities, the 170DNT11000 is a valuable accessory for building efficient and interconnected automation systems. It provides seamless integration, data exchange, and control across a wide range of devices, enabling enhanced productivity and functionality in industrial environments.
