MOLEX SST-PB3-CLX PAC/PLC Communication Module

Description

The MOLEX SST-PB3-CLX module is an advanced module designed specifically for industrial automation, with multiple functions and characteristics, widely used in various industrial scenarios. The following is a detailed introduction to this module:

Function and Features
Communication function:
The SST-PB3-CLX module is typically used as a Profibus scanner module, supporting both Profibus DP master and slave modes, and enabling efficient data exchange with other Profibus compatible devices.
This module is equipped with a PROFIBUS D-sub female module with 9 pins for communication, supporting various standard transmission speeds such as 9600, 19200, 31.25k to 12M baud, etc.
It can be directly integrated with Allen Bradley’s 1756 ControlLogix backplane system and Honeywell’s PlantScape system, enabling communication links between CLX processors and remote I/O devices located on the Profibus network.
Data processing and display:
The module is equipped with an LCD panel and three LED indicator lights (COMM, SYS, OK) to display the communication status, system status, and normal operation status of the module, helping users quickly identify the working status and potential issues of the module.
Supports direct mode and paging mode for data exchange. Direct mode allows mapping of Profibus data in I/O processor images, while paging mode allows accessing Profibus data from user-defined data spaces.
Flexible configuration and programming:
The SST PROFIBUS configuration tool can be used for configuration and programming, supporting multiple control modes and communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc., enhancing system compatibility and flexibility.
Support multiple different control modes, such as manual control, automatic control, etc., which can be selected and configured according to actual needs.
