Addressing Field Buses

The following field buses can be addressed by either configuring the appropriate protocol or using dedicated modules and devices.

Field Bus

Addressing Method

AS-i

AS-Interface bus is addressed with a Modicon X80 BMXEIA0100 module.

HART

HART communication protocol can be addressed using either the eX80 HART modules:

  • BMEAHI0812 HART analog input module

  • BMEAHO0412 HART analog output module

or

  • a Modicon STB island with an STBNIP2311 EtherNet/IP network interface modue and an STBAHI8321 HART interface module.

Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP

Modbus TCP devices are connected to the Ethernet DIO network.

Modbus Plus

Modbus Plus is supported using a gateway module like TCSEGDB23F24FA or TCSEGDB23F24FK.

PROFIBUS-DP

A PROFIBUS remote master is connected to the Ethernet DIO network. The process variables are exchanged via the DIO scanner service in the CPU.

PROFIBUS gateway modules: TCSEGPA23F14F or TCSEGPA23F14FK

PROFIBUS-PA

A PROFIBUS remote master and a DP/PA interface are connected to an Ethernet DIO network. The process variables are exchanged via the DIO scanner service in the CPU.

PROFIBUS gateway modules: TCSEGPA23F14F or TCSEGPA23F14FK
