Hello mehyar; One solution proposed by Siemens for communications accros sliding contactors is called the Power Rail Booster. If you include MPI or Profibus-DP in your definition of serial communications, then this PRB can help you out. The PRB enables PROFIBUS transmission over contact rails. Other than the limit values for capacitance and contact resistance, the PRB makes no special demands on the contact rail systems. Double collectors must be used in order to ensure continuous contact. The maintenance instructions provided by the contact rail supplier must be observed to ensure long-term compliance with the limit values.
Here are some documentation webpages for the PRB: Siemens Power Rail Booster technical pages: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/20016266 PRB-Checker software tool, to configure sliding contacts with Profibus-DP: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/18528958 User manual for PRB: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19998559 FAQ: MPI, FDL and FMS over Power Rail Booster: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/18648657 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
