Pepperl+Fuchs VBG-ENX-K30-DMD-S16-EV 254539

The VBG-ENX-K30-DMD-S16-EV is an Ethernet/IP+Modbus TCP gateway with an integrierted safety monitor and a double master according to AS-Interface specification 3.0 with a degree of protection IP20. The gateway has built-in decoupling coils. This allows two AS-Interface circuits to be operated by a single AS-Interface power supply. The device is a gateway with full functionality combined with a safety monitor. The gateway connects an AS-Interface system to a higher-level Ethernet or Modbus protocol. It acts as a master for the AS-Interface segment and as a slave for Ethernet / Modbus. During cyclic data exchange, the digital data of an AS-Interface segment is transferred. Analog values as well as the complete command set of the new AS-Interface specification are transferred via Ethernet / Modbus using a command interface. The gateway has four inputs and four outputs. The four inputs are used either for extended EDM device monitoring or as start inputs. Two sets of two outputs act as relay outputs and switch output circuits 1 and 2 and, as semiconductor outputs, output circuits 3 and 4. The K30 model is particularly suitable for installation in a control cabinet. Configuration of the device can be performed using switches. Seven LED located on the front panel indicate the current status of the AS-Interface segment. One LED shows the power supply via AUX. A further eight LEDs indicate the status of the inputs and outputs. With the graphical display, the commissioning of the AS-Interface circuits and testing of the connected peripherals can take place completely separately from the commissioning of the higher-level network and the programming. With the 4 switches, all functions can be controlled and visualized on the display. The device has a card slot for a memory card for the storage of configuration data. An integrated Switch and 2 RJ-45 sockets allow the design of a line topology without the use of an external Switch. The device level ring protocol DLR increases the reliability of a ring topology at the device level, thus optimizing the machine running times. An integrated webserver allows to administrate the device and The AS-interface network without additional hard and/or software via a browser interface.
