Hello rkosir; If you want to use MPi to connect your PLC with multiple units, use Profibus cable and connectors on the MPI interface of your PLC.MPI is RS-485 based, as Profibus, and the same physical layer will support both. You can use the Profibus-DP interface (also with Profibus cable and connectors) for your Profibus network in parallel with your MPI network. The first pages of the attached document show the use of Profibus cables for MPI networking. Simply make sure the Profibus connectorr you select for use on the PLC MPI interface has a piccy-back connector that you can use to plug your PC Adapter cable. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier AttachmentCommunicationBook_MPIPart_e.pdf (717 Downloads) |
