This module is designed and manufactured by Molex, aiming to meet the demand for efficient and reliable communication in industrial environments.

2、 Functional characteristics
Communication function:
The SST-PB3-CLX-RLL module provides communication with the ControlLogix system, allowing for data exchange between the ControlLogix controller and other external devices. This data exchange covers various types of information such as input/output data, status information, and commands.
This module supports Profibus DP master and slave modes, enabling efficient data exchange and communication with other PROFIBUS compatible devices.
Stability and reliability:
Designed for industrial environments with good stability and reliability. Its average time between failures can reach 30000 to 50000 hours, and it can operate stably for a long time under harsh conditions.
This module is equipped with a PROFIBUS D-sub female module with 9 pins for communication, ensuring the stability and accuracy of data transmission.
Flexibility and versatility:
Provide multiple communication interfaces and protocol options to meet different application needs. In addition to Profibus DP, it may also support other common industrial communication protocols.
The PROFIBUS scanner, available for Allen Bradley 1756 backplane systems and Honeywell PlantScape systems, helps enable communication links between CLX processors and remote I/O devices located on the PROFIBUS network.
Easy to integrate and manage:
Usually seamlessly integrated with ControlLogix systems, it can be easily installed in ControlLogix racks and set up and managed through corresponding software configurations.
Attached is the “Additional Configuration File” (AOP), which allows for easy integration into the ControlLogix system using RSLogix 5000 software.
Fault diagnosis and display:
Equipped with an LCD panel and three LED indicator lights (used to display communication, system, and normal status respectively), it helps users quickly identify the working status of the module and any potential issues.
