Product Specifications

• Core Function: Profibus DP/FDL VME bus interface
• Product Type: Communication interface card
• Key Specs: DP Master + Slave + FDL simultaneous; 9.6 Kbaud–12 Mbaud; Intel i960 processor

The SST 5136-PFB-VME is a 6U VME-bus Profibus interface card that lets a host computer or PLC communicate on Profibus DP networks as a master, slave, or both at the same time, plus full FDL Layer-2 messaging.

It is commonly installed in GE Fanuc Series 90-70 racks and other VME-based control systems where deterministic, high-speed fieldbus connectivity is required. An onboard Intel i960 processor handles the complete protocol stack, off-loading the host CPU and providing up to 12 Mbaud operation with 512 KB local RAM and 256 KB shared dual-port memory.
