The CX2500-Mxxx fieldbus master modules are left-sided attachments for the Embedded PC series CX20xx and CX52x0. The

use of systems with fieldbus master modules enables the segment-like construction of control structures in extensive plants

and machines using further fieldbus components (Bus Couplers, Bus Terminal Controllers, Drive Technology, etc.).

The CX2500-M310 fieldbus master module assumes the function of a PROFIBUS master. Each module occupies a PCI Express

lane, so that a total of four modules can be connected in any desired combination to the left side of a CX20xx group.

Compared with the Beckhoff PCIe Fieldbus Cards, the technical data of the fieldbus master modules are almost identical, but

with single channels.

The parallel operation of several identical or different masters is possible, e.g. two PROFIBUS masters or a PROFIBUS master

and a CANopen master. In the case of mixed operation of master and slave connections, CX systems act as intelligent

gateways between different fieldbuses: data are received, processed and fed into other fieldbuses. Master or slave

connections network several CX systems with one another strictly deterministically via the fieldbus level. CX fieldbus modules

can be retrofitted/exchanged by adding them to existing CX systems. The scanning and recognizing of the modules, the

parameterization, the configuration of the connected I/O components and the online diagnostics of the process/fieldbus

status take place in the TwinCAT System Manager.
