The ILX69-PBM DPVI master module by PROFIBUS comes complete with several incredible features. It provides all the benefits offered by in-chassis PROFIBUS communication platforms, such as the Autoscan features that significantly minimize the commissioning time. There is also a ComDTM feature that delivers excellent Ethernet connectivity and features advanced asset management software. The module serves as a great input or output unit between the processor and the PROFIBUS network. The PROFIBUS ILX69-PBM master module is designed for use with the CompactLogix platform that allows the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to regulate the exchange of data on a PROFIBUS network. The ILX69-PBM, which is used to handle the cyclic data/information exchange that takes place between connected PROFIBUS slave units. Through the backplane technology, the ILX69-PBM is able to exchange data with a CompactLogix controller. It is also important to note that the processed image of the controller and the ILX69-PBM module is automatically updated.

The transfer of data between the ILX69-PBM master module and the CompactLogix module is done through the input or output process data image. The best thing about this module is that it is automatically updated during the runtime. The ILX69-PBM’s communication is incorporated within the Studio or RSLogix 5000 design by using an Add-On Instruction (AOI) feature, reducing commissioning time. The Autoscan feature decreases the startup times, and it streamlines troubleshooting by comprehensively scanning the PROFIBUS system and uploading the device addresses as well as the configuration information. With this fully integrated engineering environment, users can effectively configure, maintain, and diagnose various Fieldbus devices. The optional AD card slot is commonly utilized for storing configuration files during disastrous events. Besides, it can also help in updating the module’s firmware without necessarily using a 1769 CPU (Central Processing Unit). The ILX69-PBM master module should always be operated in an environment featuring a temperature rating of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and 5 to 95% relative humidity.
