Smallest PROFIBUS master interface
16 June 2016
Said to be the world's smallest PROFIBUS master interface for PCs, Softing’s PBpro USB is so compact that it easily fits into a PROFIBUS connector housing.

The fast PC connection via USB high-speed makes PBpro USB the ideal interface for a wide variety of tasks from network configuration and device parameterisation to plant maintenance and production data acquisition. The interface is connected directly to a device on the PROFIBUS target system, thereby avoiding circuit-induced reflections of the fieldbus signal.
The product is also well equipped on the software side. The scope of delivery includes Windows drivers for XP to Windows 10, various programming examples, a communication DTM for FDT applications and a PROFIBUS configurator with commissioning function.
