PLC interface modules
Connect Solartron’s Orbit® network to the world’s leading PLC protocols.
The Solartron Protocol Interface Module (PIM) provides a simple way to connect the Orbit® digital measurement network to most programmable logic controllers (PLCs). A separate PIM is created for each protocol, including: Ethernet/IP™, ProfiNet™, EtherCAT™, Modbus TCP and CC Link™
Key Features
Communicate with up to 150 Orbit modules
Power up to 10 Orbit modules (depending on type). PSIM can be used when more than 10 are required
Connect any Solartron digital sensor including lasers
Configure EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET®, EtherCat and CC Link™ settings such as DHCP enable, hostname, IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
For PROFINET, this can also be done using standard PROFINET methods – TIA Portal, Pronetta.
The configuration application is also used to configure Modbus settings such as baud rate, parity, Modbus address etc.
