Product Short Description
Product Introduction:
The PROSOFT 6105-WA-PDPS is a wireless PROFIBUS DP Slave gateway, part of the ProLinx 6000 series. It is designed to wirelessly integrate remote devices into a PROFIBUS DP network. The module receives data from a wireless master gateway (such as the 6104-WA-PDPM) and transmits it to local PROFIBUS devices via the PROFIBUS DP protocol, and vice versa. It appears to the main PLC (e.g., Siemens S7) as a standard DP node while handling wireless data transmission in the background.
