Head Station 1A/1B/1C
The Head Station is the primary element of ComBricks and has to be inserted in the most left
slot of the fixed backplane socket. It schedules the interaction between all modules and
provides data storage and an Ethernet interface for the user.
6.1
Overview
Type 1A is the basic model and ALL Head Stations are hardware technically identical with type
1A.
Type 1B and 1C are enhanced types that contain a ProfiTrace core and advanced web server for
permanent remote maintenance of the PROFIBUS installation over Ethernet (hardware is
identical as a type 1A).
•
Type 1A: NO monitoring capabilities, no streaming, no OPC
•
Type 1B: Monitors 1 PROFIBUS n ProfiTrace 2 str OPC
(since June 2013)
•
Type 1C: Monitors 4 PROFIBUS ne ProfiTrace 2 str OPC
For the monitoring with ProfiTrace OE, repeater modules or slave modules are required to provide PROFIBUS
telegrams on the backplane network.
Head Station type 1B and 1C are able to stream live data directly in the ProfiTrace 2 software package over
Ethernet. ProfiTrace 2 will run with full monitoring functionality and the user can benefit from its features.
The Head Station provides power to all modules through its redundant power supply.
