The DIMS Profibus Interface is an extension for the Distance Sensors. It provides connectivity to the Profibus and allows the connection of up to 10 Distance Sensors (Multi-Sensor-Mode).
The DIMS Profibus Interface is an extension module designed to provide connectivity between Distance Sensors and a Profibus network. It supports up to 10 sensors in Multi-Sensor-Mode and allows connection via RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial interfaces.
The document details the front panel elements, including status LEDs for error codes and communication states, as well as rotary switches for setting the Profibus ID and bus termination. It outlines three operating modes: Automatic measurement, Controlled measurement, and Transparent Mode.
| Max Distance Sensors (Multi-Sensor-Mode) | 10 |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (Serial Interface) | 10..33V DC |
| Default Baud Rate (RS-232) | 19200 |
The Profibus-ID is set using two coding switches in hexadecimal notation (00 to 7D).
Bus termination must be activated if the interface is operated as the first or last physical device in the Profibus DP.
