Allen-Bradley SST-PFBCLX Module Profibus Scanner Module

Overview

The SST-PFBCLX PROFIBUS Interface Module (PBIM) is a CIOM-A form-factor, single-slot width module designed for robust industrial communication. Operating as a PROFIBUS DP Class 1 Master, it supports multi-master configurations and various baud rates, ensuring seamless integration in industrial environments. The module is ideal for applications involving Siemens Simatic® ET200M I/O, Simocode 3UF5 Motor Protection Units, and more.
