Profibus Network Adapter

The EPXPBS001 network adapter is a PROFIBUS-DP device certified by
the PROFIBUS user organization. The network adapter is the head
module for the RSTi-EP communication bus, to which up to 64 active
RSTi-EP modules can be connected. The PROFIBUS-DP network adapter
has a Sub-D socket and supports all services in accordance with the
DP-V1 specification.

The network adapter can be accessed with a system-independent web
server application via the USB service interface. Thus, all information,
such as diagnostics, status values and parameters, can be read and all
connected modules can be simulated or forced.

The station's main power supply is integrated in the network adapter.
Power is supplied via two 4-pole connectors, separated into the input
and output current paths.

Caution, the RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally
positioned DIN rail. Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also
possible. However, the heat dissipation is reduced such that the
derating values change (refer to the section, Thermal Derating.

Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10
seconds after power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
The network adapter cannot be hot-swapped.

Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional
information.

Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility
available on PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.
