PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (PIM)-1

ULTRA PRECISION TECHNOLOGIES Solartron Metrology Precision Driven Connect Solartron’s Orbit® Network to the world’s leading PLC protocols Etheri WIP BB0BO SWBsSa EtherCAf Modbus DESCRIPTION Solartron Metrology’s Protocol Interface Module (PIM) provides a simple way of interfacing the Orbit® Digital Measuring Network to most Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). A distinct PIM is created for each protocol, including: > Ethernet/IP™ > ProfiNet ™ > EtherCat ™ > Modbus TCP > MODBUS RTU (RS485 Serial) can be interfaced using Solartron’s standard MODIM Interface. (PSIM required) The PIM includes the following features: > Communicate with up to 150 Orbit modules with Explicit Messaging or 50 with Cyclic Messaging > Power up to 10 Orbit modules (depending on type). (A PSIM can be used when more than 10 is required) > Connect any Solartron Digital sensor including lasers > Connect 3rd party sensors via the Analog Interface Module (AIM) > Set up via free software interface
