PB-XEPI is an Ethernet-Profibus coupler (photo) with integrated web-server software and diagnostics functionality. For the first time ever, users can monitor a large number of operating Profibus networks in a parallel and continuous manner. The coupler can easily be integrated into existing fieldbus networks where they autonomously establish a communications and diagnostics infrastructure for convenient remote maintenance over the internet — regardless of the number of networks being monitored. The coupler can be configured as a class II master. Actively participating in the fieldbus communication, the interface allows clients to be diagnosed and logged via additional OPC-Server software, or to be configured and parameterized via AMS-Suite. — Hans Turck GmbH & Co.
