1-1 Characteristics of the DL-PD1

The DL-PD1 is an interface unit, which enables sensor amplifiers or input units to

connect to the PROFIBUS DP. The characteristics of the DL-PD1 are shown below.

 Slave unit of the PROFIBUS DP-V1

 The following features are achieved by connecting the sensor amplifiers, which

are suitable for each application, in the form of a module.

• Reading out the output of the sensor amplifier.

• Reading out the comparator value (the measurement value) of the sensor

amplifier.

• Changing the configuration of the sensor amplifier.

 Two selectable operational modes

• Monitor Mode: Input size - MAX 107 bytes, Output size - MAX 16 bytes

• I/O Mode: Input size - 10 bytes, Output size - 10 bytes

 Corresponding to the communication speed of 9.6 Kbits/s to 12 Mbits/s

 System configuration example

Additional sensor amplifiers corresponding to the D-bus can be connected to the DL-

PD1. ("D-bus" is the name of KEYENCE's wiring-saving system for sensor amplifiers.)

Any sensor amplifiers corresponding to the D-bus allow different models and up to 15

units of sensor amplifiers to be connected simultaneously.

Connectable quantity depends on the sensor amplifier which is connected to.
