WOODHEAD PCU-DPIO V4.6.3
DPIO V4.6.3 module:
Likely Product Name: Woodhead PCU-DPIO V4.6.3 Profibus Card
Likely Product Description:
The Woodhead PCU-DPIO V4.6.3 is a Profibus interface card. It is designed to provide a communication interface, likely for a PC-based control system, to a Profibus network. It appears to support the Profibus-DP protocol in Master and/or Slave modes at speeds up to 12 Mbps. The card likely facilitates data exchange between the PC and Profibus-enabled industrial devices.
Key Characteristics (Based on general descriptions of PCU-DPIO cards):
- Profibus-DP Interface: Supports Profibus-DP V0 Master/Slave (Class 1 & 2) and potentially V1 Master (Class 1 & 2).
- Communication Speed: Supports baud rates from 9.6 kbps up to 12 Mbps.
- PC Interface: Likely a PCI Universal card (3.3V/5V) or PCI Express (PCIe) card for integration into a PC.
- Profibus Port: Equipped with one Profibus port, typically a 9-pin D-Sub female connector.
- On-board Processor: Features an on-board processor to handle communication tasks, reducing the load on the host CPU.
- Memory: Includes onboard memory (SDRAM and Flash) for data handling and configuration storage.
- Software Support: Comes with software, including configuration and diagnostic tools, OPC servers, and I/O libraries for Windows.
- Status Indicators: Features LED indicators for bus fault and communication status.
- Electrical Isolation: Likely provides optical isolation for the RS485 Profibus interface.
