The modules offer one-to-one or one-to-many PROFIBUS interconnect scenarios. Data is exchanged between devices and/or networks using a shared common database and an efficient but powerful wireless protocol. This common database provides the
“backbone” communications for various field devices using different networks.

The PROFIBUS Master protocol driver exists as a single port implementation. The driver can be configured as a Class 1 PROFIBUS Master to continuously interface with other PROFIBUS slave devices. The unit is also used for configuration of the nodes on the PROFIBUS network. It provides access to both standard as well as extended diagnostic information.

ProSoft Wireless Protocol
ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) offers versatility where a mix of control devices requires cooperation with each other. This involves sharing of information across the applications regardless of device or network type, often at high speed, and with high reliability. Wireless bandwidth utilization is optimized by using efficient communication methods. The protocol supports Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast group messaging. Efficiency is based on the fact each device on the “wireless” network can produce these types of messages and each device determines which of these messages to consume.
General Specifications – Radio Modules
These modules utilize a full function wireless network card, supporting RF data rates up to 11 Mbps. The modules function as a client, providing an ultra-fast wireless solution for the most demanding industrial applications.
These modules allow you to connect various field devices using different networks or protocols and share data between these devices “over-the-air.” This is accomplished by exchanging shared common database information over-the-air with ProSoft Technology’s efficient but powerful wireless protocol.
