ENET-710: Ethernet Module

The ENET-710 is a data communications module that bridges Ethernet and Serial communication networks.

With the increasing importance of networking for industrial control/automation, the ENET-710 module provides Ethernet-networked computers the ability to perform remote monitoring and control of serial Modbus compatible industrial devices in the field as well as access to LC700 PLC CPU modules and the CD600 Multi-Loop Controller.

Up to seven clients can access the ENET-710 via Ethernet and communicate over one full-duplex RS-232C and four half-duplex RS-485 compatible serial ports to serial field devices.

The module can be installed in the LC700 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to receive power, or it can be operated in a stand-alone fashion with an external +24VDC power source. There is also a redundant power supply mode when using both power sources.

Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, the ENET-710 implements bridging to the LC700 PLC CPU module serial ports and other Modbus/RTU compatible devices enabling bi-directional communication between clients on Ethernet and devices on a serial Modbus network.

The module also functions to offer data communications between Ethernet and the CD600 Multi-Loop Controller with the CD600 configuration software.

HI302: Hart/ Foundation Fieldbus Interface

The HI302 is an equipment integral to SYSTEM302 which main function is to interface HART devices to F OUNDATION fieldbus systems , allowing the user to perform maintenance, calibration, sensor status monitoring, device status, among other information.
 HI302 main characteristicis:

  • Registered in Fieldbus Foundation, it successfully has passed by rigorous interoperability tests;
  • Tight integration with different system manufactures* due to the use of standard protocols – F OUNDATION fieldbus and HART;
  • Suitable for asset management systems, totally integrated to AssetView;
  • Uniform systems and tools, making it easy to operate and reducing maintenance costs;
  • HART configuration commands located into the module, allowing HART messages to be sent through bypass parameters;
  • Complete configuration of Smar devices enclosed in the HI302 module, thus no additional configuration is required;
  • Configuration for third party equipments can also be embedded in the flash memory or added through F OUNDATION fieldbus blocks;
  • 8 HART master channels;
  • Non-multiplexed and independent HART channels;
  • 1 F OUNDATION fieldbus H1 Channel;
  • The HI302 supports up to eight point-to-point HART devices;
  • Additional 4-20 mA input circuits for HI302 – I model (current conversion to F OUNDATION fieldbus);
  • Additional 4-20 mA output circuits for HI302 – O model (F OUNDATION fieldbus conversion to current).

HSC303: High Speed Coupler Profibus-DP/PA

In the search for practical solutions and high performance, Smar presents its new solution on connectivity for industrial networks: the high speed coupler for PROFIBUS DP/PA, the HSC303.

This module enables communicating with high transmission rates, up to 12 Mbits/s, with PROFIBUS DP masters and transform the signal in the field standard, PROFIBUS PA with fixed 31,25 kbits. All of this transparently,  without the need for configurations. It supports up to 124 PROFIBUS PA slaves and detects the PROFIBUS DP network communication rate automatically.

The HSC303 is part of a modular solution capable to provide electrical signals with the correct tension and current specifications, compliant with IEC 61158-2 standard both for classified areas or not.

With an adapter IM153/HSC303 and a cable (patchcord) is possible to connect  the HSC303 in systems using the IM153, replacing the Siemens DP / PA coupler. This can be done in a transparent way, without the need to make any configuration changes, because the HSC303 is transparent to the Profibus DP network.

The elements below make up the complete solution to access the PROFIBUS PA network. They are:

  • DF93: Rack for HSC303 modules – With via-led diagnostics, it is easy to check the tension levels delivered to the modules;
  • DF50 / DF56: Power sources for the HSC303 – Available for alternate or continuous input tensions;
  • HSC303-2 ou HSC303-4 – High performance couplers with transparent work without the need for additional configurations with 2 or 4 PROFIBUS PA independent channels
  • DF52 / DF60: Alternate or continuous tension power sources for impedance modules;
  • DF53 / DF98: Impedance sources with PROFIBUS PA independent channels of 340 mA or 500 mA;
  • DF47-12 / DF47-17: Intrinsic safety options barriers for Ex-ia segments of 1.2W or 1.7W;
  • DF9: Individual support for module expansion;
  • DF2: Rack terminator.

OPT700 Serial to Fiber Optics Converter

The OPT-700 is a Fiber Optic Modem designed to provide a versatile connection between asynchronous serial communication interfaces such as RS-232c and RS-485 using Fiber Optic cable. It will allow any equipment that uses half-duplex asynchronous serial communication at typical distances up to 4.0 km with the great benefit of EMI immunity.

It can be configured point-to-point or in a multi-drop configuration using the Repeat feature.

The OPT-700 supports a broad range of configurable baudrates for the asynchronous serial communication. RS-232C can work between 2400 to 115.2Kbps while RS-485 works from 2400 till 920Kbps.

Once Fiber Optic is immune to EMI/RFI and ground loops, the Modem can replace converters and isolators when connecting remote devices.

PBI-PLUS: USB Interface for Profibus PA

BI-PLUS is a powerful USB/ Profibus-PA interface, simple to use and easy to configure Profibus-PA devices.

Intuitive in use, friendly, PBI-PLUS is an ideal tool to access information on PROFIBUS PA segments via FDT / DTM with any tool based on FDT / DTM technologies and in case of Smar, it can be used with AssetView and via ProfibusView tools.

It can be a class 2 Profibus master on the network and  when in standalone mode becomes a powerful tool for configuration and maintenance, allowing powering of one Profibus-PA device without the need for external power supply and DP/PA coupler. Another advantage is its ease of use and communication speed compared to other PROFIBUS tools.

SI700: Interface RS232/RS485

This module converts the electrical characteristics of the communication signal from the EIA/RS232 specification to EIA/RS485 specification.

The converter circuit provides signal isolation to grant a safe connection between two systems.

This module was designed to use the DFI/LC platform and so, no power supply was embedded in the board. It uses the +5Vdc lines from the IMB bus to energize the circuit.
