Bus Interface Module (BIM) 8502-BI-DP by MTL Instruments offers a communication bridge between 8000 series I/O modules and a Profibus-DP host. This module is capable of high-speed data acquisition from the I/O modules and supports LAN operation speeds up to 6 Mbaud, facilitating rapid response to changes in the control process.

Features:

  • Communication: Acts as a slave to the Profibus master, supporting cyclic data exchange for input reading and output writing, along with Profibus Extended Diagnostics for status reporting.
  • LAN Protocol: PROFIBUS-DP compliant with EN50170 standards.
  • Transmission Rates: Supports speeds of 9.6, 19.2, 93.75, 187.5, 500 kbaud, and 1.5, 6 Mbaud.
  • Bus Segment Length: Varies based on transmission speed, suitable for cables with an impedance of 135 - 165 Ω and capacitance ≤ 30 pF/m.
  • Transmission Standard: RS 485.
  • Isolation: Provides 500 V isolation between LAN, Railbus, and Power Supply.
  • Software Malfunction Response: Modules enter a failsafe state.
  • Data Frame: DP data frame size is configurable up to 244 bytes.
  • Input/Output Data: Maximum of 244 bytes each, including status and control words.
  • Diagnostic Telegram: Up to 78 bytes.
  • Configuration Methods: Configurable via MTL's 8455-SW-CF software, Profibus configurator, or configuration transfer from the 8510-NS-MO Node Services Module.
  • Address Setting: Can be set through software within the BIM, a Profibus "Set Slave Address" command, or switch settings on the 8510-NS-MO module.
  • Power Supply: Requires 12V Railbus power, typically drawing 420 mA, with a maximum of 520 mA at -40°C.
  • Physical Dimensions: Width of 63 mm, weight approximately 350 g.
  • Indicators:
    • Power Fail: Green light indicates normal power; red light signals failsafe or fault condition.
    • LAN Activity: Yellow light; slow flashing indicates no LAN activity.
    • Railbus Status: Indicator shows fault or OK status.
  • Maximum Bus Lengths at Different Speeds:
    • 9.6 kbaud: 1200 m
    • 19.2 kbaud: 1200 m
    • 93.75 kbaud: 1200 m
    • 187.5 kbaud: 1000 m
    • 500 kbaud: 400 m
    • 1.5 Mbaud: 200 m
    • 6 Mbaud: 100 m

This module is designed to support high-integrity system operation and in-situ maintenance capabilities, making it suitable for industrial automation environments requiring robust communication infrastructure.
