The Prosoft PS69-DPS CompactLogix inRAx PROFIBUS DP V0/V1 slave communication module is a PROFIBUS communication interface module that allows the allows the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix or MicroLogix control modules to accommodate the PROFIBUS DP V0/V1 networking protocol in a wide range of industrial automation systems. The PS69-DPS module offers enhanced features that allow it to be used as a standard I/O module on the CompactLogix or MicroLogix controller, and it supports both I/O control and messaging capabilities. The PS69-DPS module is a slot-based interface module that can be installed on the Allen-Bradley 1796 backplane, and it draws a maximum backplane current of 260 mA at 5 Volts DC. It is compatible with the CompactLogix L20, L30, L31, L32, L35, and L43 processor, and it also supports the MicroLogix 1500 LRP. On the MicroLogix and CompactLogix control systems, the PS69-DPS module is recognized as an input/output module that has access to system memory for data transmission on the RS-485 link. Process data is transmitted at a selectable baud rate between 9.6 kBaud and 12 kBaud over a maximum length of 100 meters (325 feet).

The Prosoft PS69-DPS module comes with an onboard 9-pin, D-Shell Socket RS-232 communication port that serves as a diagnostic interface. It uses the Ladder Logic PLC programming language for data transfer between the processor and the module, and it is configured by using the RSLogix5000/500 Windows-based programming software. The PS69-DPS module comes with an LED status indicator that displays the communication and module status. The PS69-DPS module has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and it can be used within a 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity range. It is CE, UL, and C-UL certified.
