National Instruments PCI PROFIBUS PROFIBUS Interface Device

The National Instruments PCI PROFIBUS (Part Number: 780160-01) is an Interface Device that offers connectivity between the PCI bus and PROFIBUS. This device is widely deployed in industrial control applications where controlling PROFIBUS is required through standard PC-based controllers. Through this PROFIBUS Interface Device, you can connect ordinary controllers to PROFIBUS based high-performance industrial networks as powerful slaves or masters. The NI PCI PROFIBUS comes with a LabVIEW instrument driver. You can use this LabVIEW driver for HMI and SCADA applications. HMI interfaces are widely used in process, power generation, and manufacturing industries. Similarly, SCADA systems play a vital role in the operation and monitoring of power generation systems.

The NI PROFIBUS is one of the most extensively deployed industrial networks being used today. Through this PROFIBUS Interface Device, you can operate your sensors, I/O controllers, PLCs, and other devices from a centralized control location and through a centralized control system. Moreover, the NI PCI PROFIBUS enables you to remotely control your industrial hardware resources. This PROFIBUS Interface Device comes equipped with 1 port. Through this device, you will be able to transform your ordinary Ethernet-based network into a powerful and reliable industrial network. This PROFIBUS Interface Device comes equipped with an integrated CPU and other hardware resources. Thus, the National Instruments PCI PROFIBUS can offer the same powerful performance each time without putting any additional burden on the host machine. This National Instruments PROFIBUS Interface Device features a hardware watchdog as well.
