Rob GledhillGUEST
And we also have our S version, which is our supreme version, which has all that IO, 4 to 20, remote start stuff, but also the newer network protocols like Modbus, TCP.
Rob GledhillGUEST
Profibus, and also industrial Ethernet.
Rob GledhillGUEST
Okay.
Rob GledhillGUEST
Okay? Now, I'd like to highlight why we also call this the new 2-series metering pump platform that's adaptable.
Whiskey JackHOST
Allen Bradley adapted their serial DF1 protocol into Data Highway, Data Highway Plus, and Data Highway 485.
Whiskey JackHOST
Siemens came up with L1, Profibus, and Profibus DP.
Whiskey JackHOST
Master-slave versus multi-master.
Whiskey JackHOST
Many of these networks were strictly master-slave systems.
Peter SeebergHOST
What are the types of protocols? What can they do? What has been your experience in using them? But how does the PLC communicate with the robot? There's many different languages.
Peter SeebergHOST
You know, there's PROFIBUS, PROFINET.
Peter SeebergHOST
others, I don't know, maybe you have your own languages, so to say, that you are using.
Thorsten BrachGUEST
Yeah, mostly you have a fieldbus system between the PLC and the robot.
Thorsten BrachGUEST
It also supports more advanced applications such as conveyor tracking, force control or trigger functions.
Thorsten BrachGUEST
It was originally developed by Siemens together with several major robot vendors.
Thorsten BrachGUEST
Later, it was moved under the umbrella of PI, PROFIBUS and PROFINET International, which was a great move because it means that the standard is now managed by a neutral organization where it can be maintained and further developed.
Peter SeebergHOST
But does it then mean, for example, that, and number one, was I correct in assuming that a standard like SRCI sits on a higher level than the communication protocol, in this case, maybe PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and does it mean Because they are in the same organization that typically the SRCI standard is being used by companies that at a lower level used in the past PROFIBUS, but today maybe PROFINET, a communication standard.
Ed MarszalHOST
These can be scattered all around the process in junction boxes.
Ed MarszalHOST
And then instead of sending our twisted pairs all the way back to the control room, we're gonna take a bunch of network connections, TCPIP, PROFIBUS, PROFISAFE, whatever remote IO protocol you're using, depending on whomever your vendor is, you're gonna be sending those digital signals back that contain many, many, many IO points.
Ed MarszalHOST
So we're trying to minimize our wiring a little bit, make our maintenance a little bit easier.
Ed MarszalHOST
So if you're using remote IO systems, you're gonna wanna make sure that all of that is working.
Pete SeligmanHOST
Yeah
Matt RozynGUEST
YeahUh, and actually the hardest card out of all of them was the Profibus card.
Pete SeligmanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Matt RozynGUEST
So the Profibus card had a certain chip on there that was originally manufactured by Siemens.
Pete SeligmanHOST
Yeah.
Matt RozynGUEST
They don't manufacture it anymore.
Matt RozynGUEST
So we've got the digital outputs, the digital inputs, so the opto cards are back in.
Matt RozynGUEST
We've got the four output relay card is back in production.
