Siemens IE/PB LINK PN IO Ethernet to PROFIBUS Communications Adapter

As a stand-alone component, the IE/PB LINK PN IO builds the seamless transition between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS by means of real-time communication (RT) and thus enables existing PROFIBUS devices to be integrated into a PROFINET application. From the viewpoint of the IO Controller, all DP slaves are handled like IO Devices with an Ethernet interface, i.e. the IE/PB LINK PN IO is their proxy.
