About West Control Solutions RL DP Rail Line Systems
Compact, multi-functional and flexible, Rail Line offers precise measurement, reliable limit monitoring and stable control for many demanding applications. For controlling, measuring, converting and monitoring, the Rail Line product family includes communication field bus couplers, controller, transmitter, I/O modules, temperature limiter and transmitter for strain gauge sensors.
Description Of RL DP Rail Line Systems
The Rail Line system is designed to offer high accuracy data acquisition and independent control, monitoring and supervision in decentralised automation installations. The fieldbus couplers described in this document are communication gateways to the surrounding automation infrastructure. They can be used in combination with KS45, TB45, CI45, SG45 and all Rail Line I/O-extension modules.
System Design
Rail-line consists of a bus coupler for„top hat“ rail mounting and the possibility to connect up to 62 I/Omodules. The I/O modules are interconnected by means of quick-connect plugs. One power supply module must be installed per 16 I/O modules.
Internal communication
An internal bus connects the I/O modules with the bus coupler module, where the statuses/values of the connected I/Os are continuously updated and stored. The stored data also contains information about the type and diagnostic results of the relevant I/O module. The scanning cycle depends on the type and number of installed modules and the bus load.
Data Acess
The process data that is to be transmitted can be defined in the Engineering for every function module. Up to 15 values can be read or written. The data are always available in the bus coupler, thus ensuring fast responses to requests. Similarly, the fieldbus interface can be used to transfer the complete Engineering.
Interfaces and Engineering Tools
The fieldbus coupler as well as the connected function modules, can be configured with the BlueControl® software via the BluePort®interface.
