Interface FB5:

Fieldbus integration

Fieldbus systems exchange signals via serial communication. The fieldbus master (in most cases the robot controller or higher-level plant control system) collects and processes the signals of the connected fieldbus slaves (including, among others, the welding machine). Common fieldbus systems are, for example, Interbus-S, Profibus DP or DeviceNet. The fieldbus interface FB5 translates the fieldbus signals for the welding machine and uses a standardized protocol. This ensures that the signals are always positioned in the same place within the fieldbus – independently from the fieldbus type. And it makes the preparation of the robot and/or the plant control system easier.  

The FB5 fieldbus module is integrated into the system with the L-700 standard trip line. The “external” version has bores for flexible mounting in the welding cell.
