IO642-32

32-Node Simulator I/O Module for PROFIBUS

The IO642-32 is a PROFIBUS multi-node module that empowers users to simulate large-scale industrial installations, infrastructure and maritime vehicles; for example, production plants, ships, wind farms, solar parks, power grids, tunnels and train networks.

The module physically emulates a high number of real-time capable PROFIBUS slave nodes that communicate with the remote PROFIBUS master as in a real industrial plant. Each node is represented by an independent network transceiver, ensuring short response times.

The IO642-32 is ideal for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations using MATLAB® and Simulink®. It allows manufacturers of industrial systems and equipment to test plant controllers and realize virtual commissioning with digital twins: manufacturers can implement the plant behavior, operation modes and states in Simulink®, add IO642-32 driver blocks to exchange data with the plant controller and use Simulink® Test™ for error injection, automated testing and test reporting.

Key features:

  • Simulation of 32 PROFIBUS DP slaves per module and up to 128 slaves per machine
  • Cyclic data exchange of up to 244 bytes per slave node
  • Simulates a vast range of PROFIBUS DP devices from all vendors
  • Seamless import of GSD files to easily set up slave device simulation
  • Automatic baud rate detection

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) - MTBF values shown are based on calculation according to MIL-HDBK-217F and MIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2; Environment: GB 20°C. The MTBF calculation is based on component FIT rates provided by the component suppliers. If FIT rates are not available, MIL-HDBK-217F and MIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2 formulas are used for the FIT rate calculation.
