5305-MBP-PDPS PROSOFT

  • Factory Automation: Integrating Modbus Plus-based control systems with PROFIBUS DP networks where a central PROFIBUS DP master device already exists. Here, the 5305-MBP-PDPS allows Modbus Plus devices to participate in the communication and be controlled by the PROFIBUS master.
  • Process Control: Similar to factory automation, this gateway can be used in process control applications where a PROFIBUS DP master device controls various slave devices on the network. The 5305-MBP-PDPS enables communication between Modbus Plus systems and these slave devices on the PROFIBUS network.
  • Building Automation: Connecting building automation systems on Modbus Plus networks with existing PROFIBUS DP networks for data exchange and control, especially when a central PROFIBUS DP master device manages the network.

Description

The 5305-MBP-PDPS is a protocol gateway manufactured by ProSoft Technology designed for industrial automation applications. It facilitates communication between devices on Modbus Plus and PROFIBUS DP networks, similar to the 5304-MBP-PDPM we discussed earlier. Here’s a breakdown of the 5305-MBP-PDPS:

  • Product Name: ProSoft Technology 5305-MBP-PDPS Modbus Plus to PROFIBUS DP Slave Gateway

  • Product Description: The 5305-MBP-PDPS acts as a bridge between Modbus Plus and PROFIBUS DP networks. However, unlike the 5304-MBP-PDPM which functions as a master on the PROFIBUS network, the 5305-MBP-PDPS operates as a slave device on the PROFIBUS DP network. This means it responds to communication requests initiated by a PROFIBUS DP master device. It still allows devices on the Modbus Plus network to communicate with and control devices on the PROFIBUS DP network through the gateway’s protocol conversion capabilities.

  • Product Features:

    • Protocol Conversion: The 5305-MBP-PDPS translates data between the Modbus Plus and PROFIBUS DP protocols, ensuring seamless communication between devices on these different networks.
    • PROFIBUS DP Slave Functionality: It operates as a slave device on the PROFIBUS DP network, responding to communication requests and data exchanges initiated by a PROFIBUS DP master device.
    • Modbus Plus Master and Slave Support: Similar to the 5304-MBP-PDPM, the 5305-MBP-PDPS can also function as a Modbus Plus master or slave device, providing flexibility for various network configurations on the Modbus Plus side.
    • Configuration Flexibility: The gateway is configurable through software tools provided by ProSoft, enabling users to define data mapping, communication parameters, and other settings.

  • Product Applications:

    • Factory Automation: Integrating Modbus Plus-based control systems with PROFIBUS DP networks where a central PROFIBUS DP master device already exists. Here, the 5305-MBP-PDPS allows Modbus Plus devices to participate in the communication and be controlled by the PROFIBUS master.
    • Process Control: Similar to factory automation, this gateway can be used in process control applications where a PROFIBUS DP master device controls various slave devices on the network. The 5305-MBP-PDPS enables communication between Modbus Plus systems and these slave devices on the PROFIBUS network.
    • Building Automation: Connecting building automation systems on Modbus Plus networks with existing PROFIBUS DP networks for data exchange and control, especially when a central PROFIBUS DP master device manages the network.

Key Differences between 5304-MBP-PDPM and 5305-MBP-PDPS:

  • PROFIBUS DP Functionality: The 5304-MBP-PDPM acts as a PROFIBUS DP master, while the 5305-MBP-PDPS functions as a PROFIBUS DP slave.
  • Application Suitability: The 5304-MBP-PDPM is suitable for scenarios where there’s no existing PROFIBUS DP master, while the 5305-MBP-PDPS integrates Modbus Plus devices into an existing PROFIBUS DP network with a master device.

I hope this comprehensive explanation clarifies the functionalities and applications of the 5305-MBP-PDPS by ProSoft Technology.
