Teknic SST-PB3-VME-2

Product Introduction SST-PB3-VME-2 is a PROFIBUS DP interface card from Teknic / Woodhead SST family. The card plugs into a VMEbus slot in industrial computers or VME systems, acting as a PROFIBUS master or slave to exchange data with field PROFIBUS devices. It is used in test, semiconductor, and manufacturing equipment that requires deterministic PROFIBUS communication.

Materials and Construction

  • PCB: FR4
  • VME connector: Pin header
  • PROFIBUS: DB9 connector
  • Isolation: Optocoupler
  • LED: Status diodes
  • Bracket: VME front panel

Working Principle The VME host accesses on-board memory over VMEbus. The PROFIBUS controller exchanges cyclic data with slaves. Isolation separates VME logic from PROFIBUS. LEDs indicate link state.

Installation Requirements

  • Insert VME slot with power off
  • DB9 certified PROFIBUS cable
  • 120 ohm termination
  • Ground shield
  • Temperature 0 °C to +55 °C
  • Install VME driver
  • Set station address

Precautions

  • Wear ESD strap
  • Termination at bus ends
  • Unique station address
  • Store spares in anti-static packaging
  • Check cable length for baud rate
  • Do not hot swap without support
