- Secured via captive screws to drive chassis
- Front-facing LED indicators
- Rear-facing 50-pin connector mates with drive backplane
Working Principle:
The board contains a Profibus DP slave controller ASIC that handles all protocol stack processing. Digital I/O signals from the machine are conditioned (optically isolated) and mapped to Profibus process data image (PDI). The AKD drive reads/writes this PDI during each Profibus cycle, enabling real-time I/O control over the fieldbus.
Advantages & Highlights:
- Eliminates external I/O modules — reduces wiring and cabinet space
- Deterministic communication — guaranteed cycle times
- Full diagnostic capability — each I/O point is individually monitorable
- Widely supported in Siemens-dominated environments
Applicable Industries:
- Automotive manufacturing lines
- Steel and metal processing
- Printing and packaging
- Material handling and conveyor systems
- Any Profibus-based automation architecture
Installation Requirements:
- Install in AKD drive option slot (right side, top position)
- Connect Profibus cable (shielded twisted pair, 120Ω termination required at both ends of bus)
- Configure station address via AKD Workbench software
- Set GSD file in master PLC project
Usage Notes:
- Terminate Profibus bus with 120Ω resistor at each end
- Do not exceed 24 V DC on any I/O terminal
- Ensure proper grounding of shield at one end only
- Update firmware via AKD Workbench to maintain compatibility
