• Status Information: Provides a Slave Status Word to indicate the module status
• LED Indicators:
  • Green PROFIBUS OK LED: Indicates the presence of power and completion of backplane reset.
  • Dual-color Network LED: Yellow indicates the module can transmit PROFIBUS messages; red indicates communication issues.
  • Dual-color Module Status LED: Steady green indicates the module is configured and connected to the network master; flashing green indicates waiting for configuration or firmware issues; flashing yellow indicates firmware download or non-recoverable errors

Product Features

• Automatic Data Exchange: Capable of automatically exchanging data with master devices without manual intervention.
• Compatibility: Only compatible with RX3i CPE305 and CPE310 controllers.
• Configuration Tool: Requires Machine Edition Logic Developer-PLC software for configuration.
• Firmware Upgrade: Receives firmware upgrades indirectly from the host controller CPU via WinLoader software.
• Physical Interface: Equipped with a 9-pin D-sub connector for connecting bus cables.

Structure and Composition

• Appearance: There are three LED indicators on the top, indicating PROFIBUS status, network status, and module status respectively. The middle part displays the words “PBS301 PROFIBUS SLAVE”, and the bottom has multiple connection ports for connecting other devices or systems.
• Connector: 9-pin D-sub connector for connecting bus cables.
• Internal Components: Not specified in detail, but based on its functions, it should include PROFIBUS communication circuits, status detection circuits, and power management circuits.

Application Fields

• Industrial Automation: Widely used in industrial automation control systems, especially in scenarios requiring PROFIBUS communication.
• Manufacturing: Suitable for manufacturing environments that demand high reliability and real-time performance, such as production line control and equipment monitoring.
• Energy Management: Can be used for data collection and control in energy management systems.

Installation and Maintenance

• Installation Requirements: Must be installed on the RX3i universal backplane, and the RX3i CPU must have firmware version 3.0 or higher.
• Configuration Steps:
  1. Install the IC695PBS301 module on the RX3i backplane.
  2. Configure using Machine Edition Logic Developer-PLC software.
  3. Perform firmware upgrade via WinLoader software.
• Maintenance Recommendations:
  • Regularly check the LED status to ensure the module is operating normally.
  • Keep the connectors clean to avoid poor contact.
  • Update the firmware regularly to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
