The Pepperl + Fuchs VBG-PB-K20-D-BV is a sophisticated Profibus interface module designed to facilitate seamless communication between AS-Interface systems and higher-level networks. This gateway adheres to the AS-Interface specification 3.0 and is encased in a durable stainless steel housing with an IP20 protection rating, making it ideal for installation in switch cabinets.

This module acts as a master for the AS-Interface segment and as a slave for the Profibus network, ensuring efficient cyclic data exchange. It supports Profibus DPV1 and is capable of transferring both digital and analog values, along with the complete command set of the new AS-Interface specification through a command interface.

Commissioning and fault diagnosis are made user-friendly through an array of LEDs and a graphic display that provide clear status indications. The unit also features earth fault detection and AS-Interface noise detection, enhancing the reliability of the network.

The VBG-PB-K20-D-BV is designed for easy snap-on mounting on a 35 mm mounting rail, and its front panel is equipped with seven LEDs that indicate the current state of the AS-Interface branch. Additionally, the module includes a graphical display and four switches that allow for complete control and visualization of functions, independent of the higher-level network and programming.

This Profibus interface module is a robust solution for industrial automation environments, offering a streamlined approach to integrating AS-Interface segments with Profibus networks.
