Features of aXlink100

• Real-Time protocol (Xlink)
• High bandwith
• Redundancy capable
• Shockproof redundancy change-over
• Different topologies applications (line, ring, tree, tree topology redundant)
• Ring topology without expensive optic fibre cabling
• Up to 16 aXlink100 per system
• Redundant power supply 24V DC
• Exchangeable without configuration (adress switch)
• Diagnostics via LED and protocol
• Top hat rail mounting
• Driver for automationX from version 4.8
• Other drivers on request

The aXlink100 interconnects Ethernet with Profibus, in which Xlink, a real time Ethernet protocol developed by AutomationX, is used. The aXlink100 incorporates two Ethernet interfaces, which are available as 8P8C (RJ45) or optic fibre option, as well as a Profibus-DP master interface.

These interfaces allow a multiplicity of system and network configurations. Therefore this equipment allows the configuration of an electrical ring via CAT5 cabling or a network and/or server redundancy via switches in a star layout network with this equipment. Thus it is possible to link up to 16 Profibus Maser (aXlink100) with up to 124 Profibus-DP slaves per unit to automationX.
