SSD Network Communications

Description:

At 400mBaud this is our fastest communications platform ever. We are calling this Link 3. FireWire is amazing for networking drives, I/O and other industrial field hardware. Plug into one drive on a system and have access to all of your parameters in the entire system. Firewire communication is so fast, registration control can be performed via communications. Allows for easy integration of large industrial systems and allows gateways to other communications listed below.	Link is still the heart of the company. With over 15 years in service running at 2.7M baud. This closed loop, event driven, peer-to-peer, fiber optic network system sill gives you quite a bang for your buck. Plug into one drive/system module and have access to all of the parameters on the entire system. Allows for easy integration of large industrial systems and allows gateways to other communications listed below.
Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP have been very popular networking schemes that allow our drive systems an easy means of communication to a variety of PLC’s and HMI’s. Several of our drives can directly communicate via ethernet for simple systems. Ethernet can be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC or HMI to talk to an entire Network of Drives.	Profibus DP – This is a popular communications platform in Europe. It is the main means of communicating directly to a Siemens PLC. Several of our drives can directly communicate to ProfiBus for simple systems. ProfiBus can be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC to talk to an entire Network of Drives.
DeviceNet is one of several communication schemes that allows us to communicate with Allen-Bradley PLC’s. Several of our drives can directly communicate to DeviceNet for simple systems. DeviceNet can be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC to talk to an entire Network of Drives.	ControlNet is one of several communication schemes that allows us to communicate with Allen-Bradley PLC’s. Several of our drives can directly communicate to ControlNet for simple systems. ControlNet can be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC to talk to an entire Network of Drives.
CANopen has been a popular European communication platform. Several of our drives can directly communicate to CANopen for simple systems. CANopen can be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC to talk to an entire Network of Drives.	RS-232/485 serial networks using Modbus RTU have been around forever. We have many drives that communicate via this protocol. These can also be combined with FireWire or Link to allow a PLC to talk to an entire Network of Drives
SSD Supports the above listed networks as well as: InterBus S, SUCONet, Modbus Plus, EI Bisynch, Johnson Metasys N2, Siemens P1-FLN, Echelon LonWorks and many more. Please contact SSD Drives Customer Service for Further details.
