PROFIsafe and
system
redundancy

for the most
demanding
applications

The OPTEA is an advanced dual-port
Ethernet communication option.
It supports connectivity through
PROFIsafe for VACON® NXP, PROFINET
with System redundancy S2 and
features as also Modbus TCP/UDP and
EtherNet/IP.

OPTEA has emulation mode for NXP
Ethernet option boards OPTCI, OPTCP
and OPTCQ. This reduces complexity
allowing the customer to use only one
variant OPTEA.

The single OPTEA hardware option
offers the greatest flexibility by allowing
the user to select from three highly
prevalent communications protocols in
the industrial market.

Feature Benefit

PROFIsafe over PROFINET IO for
VACON® NXP

PROFINET IO System Redundancy S2 High availability to critical systems
OPTEA performs with all advanced features

and as OPTE9

Emulation of OPTCI, OPTCP and OPTCQ

Predefined function blocks with source
code

Supports ring topology

Bus cycles down to 1 ms and 16 process
data units

Supports PC tool connection over Ethernet

Tolerant against high network traffic volume

The option features a built-in switch,
facilitating traditional line network
topology. It supports the use of ring
topologies through RSTP, MRP or DLR
protocols, and features bus cycles
down to 1ms and 16 process data for
highly demanding applications.

OPTEA is configurable over Ethernet
through VACON® NCIPConfig and
NCDrive for VACON® NXP, and through
VACON® Live for VACON® 100 products.

The OPTEA firmware is field upgradable
through VACON® Loader.

Integrated safety-certified protocol

Great application flexibility

- Simple spare-part replacement of
Ethernet-based option boards OPTCI,
OPTCP and OPTCQ in VACON® NXP

- Offers flexibility to upgrade
communication protocol in future

- Simple programming

- Available free of charge
A single fault in one of the Ethernet cables,

or one of the devices in the ring, will not
lead to loss of the communication to all
devices

Facilitating highly demanding applications

Convenient configuration and monitoring
of the products

Bursts or storms in the network are less
likely to cause disturbance in the operation
of the product
