DF1 Master/Slave to Honeywell DE Master Communication Module

5106-DFCM-DEM

Product Description

The ProLinx family DF1 Master/Slave to Honeywell DE Master communications module (5106-DFCM-DEM) creates a powerful connection between devices on a DF1 network and Honeywell DE devices. The module is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway that provides one serial port and eight Honeywell DE channels.

The DF1 (DFCM) protocol driver supports Master or Slave implementations of the protocol on each DF1 port. All DF1 ports are individually configurable, providing a great deal of flexibility.

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 DFCM-DEM modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where DF1 connectivity can be used to integrate Honeywell DE devices into a system. The DF1 gateway is a powerful module designed with both Master and Slave support, enabling easy connection to Rockwell Automation PLCs (CLX, SLC, PLC, CPLX, and similar devices). In combination with the Honeywell DE device support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many Honeywell DE 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.

DF1 Master/Slave Protocol Specifications

The DF1 Master/Slave Protocol driver provides extensive support for both Master and Slave implementations of the protocol. The serial port on the gateway is user-configurable to support the DF1 protocol (Master or Slave, Error Checking, Baud rate, etc).
