The efficient engineering environment of the AC 870P Composer provides you with a full fledged configuration suite for your Profibus network. AC 870P Composer does not distinguish between rack mounted I/O devices and remote I/O that is connected via Profibus. The underlying FDT/DTM interfaces allow you for plug-and-play integration of the connected Profibus and HART field devices.
In addition to the redundant interface for connecting the rack mounted AC 870P I/O modules, the AC 870P Controller provides two redundant Profibus DP lines. The redundantly implemented Profibus interfaces allow for redundant Profibus field connections – for example, to System 800xA‘s remote I/O stations of the S800 and S900 series, that also provide redundant interface connections.
Non-redundant sections of the Profibus Network can seamlessly be integrated using the RLM01 redundancy link module.
