PROFIBUS DP Slave to Honeywell DE Master Communication Module

5506-PDPS-DEM

Product Description

The ProLinx family PROFIBUS DP Slave to Honeywell DEM communications module (5506-PDPS-DEM) creates a powerful connection between devices on a PROFIBUS DP network and Honeywell DE slave device. The module is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway that provides one PROFIBUS DP Slave configurable DB9F port and eight configurable Honeywell DE channels.

The DEM protocol driver is designed to provide a tightly integrated communications interface between other protocols of the ProLinx platform and the Honeywell DE instruments. Compatible DE devices include a large array of field devices including pressure, temperature, metering, and many other instruments.

Product Applications

The PDPS-DEM modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where PROFIBUS DP connectivity can be used to integrate Honeywell DE slave devices into a system. The PROFIBUS DP Slave gateway is a powerful module designed with Slave support, enabling easy connection to PROFIBUS master devices. In combination with the Honeywell DE support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many Honeywell DE slave devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace today. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially the Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food Processing.

Functional Specifications

Internal Database

The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.

The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.

Status Data Area

This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.

Configuration Data Area

This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.

Honeywell DE Master Protocol Specifications

The ProLinx DEM Protocol Driver is designed to interface with up to 8 DE devices. Data is exchanged between the DE instruments and the driver using the internal database contained in the DEM module.

DE Communications

  • Built in accordance with the Honeywell DE specification
  • Supports up to 8 single PV transmitters, 2 multivariable transmitters with 4 PVs each, or a mix of single and multivariable equaling 8 input channels
  • Instrument database mismatch verification
  • Interfaces directly to Honeywell Field Terminal Assembly (FTA) with ProSoft-supplied cable
  • Supports redundant and non-redundant FTA implementations
  • Single cable connection from DEM module to FTA

PROFIBUS DP Slave Specifications

The PROFIBUS DP Slave driver gives access to the ProLinx unit's internal database via 200 bytes of Input data and 200 bytes of Output data. These Input and Output data blocks are mapped by the user within the ProLinx module's data memory allowing the user maximum flexibility and data transfer with other protocols.
