VBG-PB-KF-R4AS-Interface industrial gateway Technical data Function
General specifications
The VBG-PB-KF-R4 is a complete AS-Inter-face master in accordance with AS-Interfacespecification 2.11 in IP20. The design of this
master is especially suitable for use in theswitch industrial cabinet. The KF cabinet housing ofthe Profibus gateway offers all the advan-tages of the serial master, such as PowerRail connections and coded, removable ter-minals.The VBG-PB-KF-R4 is a modular PROFI-BUS slave. This means that the user can usethe PROFIBUS configuration tool to specify
what data will be transferred via the PROFI-BUS. This makes it possible to adjust theamount of data to be transferred via PROFI-BUS.In addition, this gateway supports acyclicalcommunication of the PROFIBUSDPV1.These acyclical services can be used toaccess a mailbox in the gateway that provideaccess to all the data that are made available
by the AS-Interface/PROFIBUS Gateway.Two push buttons are used for addressassignment, acceptance of the desired con-
figuration and for adjustment of the PROFI-BUS address and baud rate. In configurationmode, all detected AS-Interface slaves aredisplayed on the 2-digit LCD. In normal oper-ation, the LCD is blank unless the masterdetects a faulty AS-Interface slave. There are7 LEDs on the front panel, showing the cur-rent status of the AS-Interface line.

The device is supplied with the configuration data files (GSD) as well as a restricted version ofthe AS-i Control Tools software. The software performs the addressing, programming andmonitoring of the AS-Interface network. The full version of the AS-i Control Tool is availableas an accessory and features an expanded diagnostics professional monitor as well as a larger program
memory for AS-Interface Control which makes it possible to detect faulty telegrams of slaves.A GSD file can be easily created for the PROFIBUSDP using the GSD assistant, wherebythe size of the I/O windows can be conveniently adapted to the AS-Interface circuit's load and
the AS-Interface configuration can be stored within the GSD file. A text file is also created,which documents the status of AS-Interface data in the gateway's I/O window.
