FX5-DP-M MITSUBISHI MELSEC iQ-F Series PROFIBUS-DP Master Module
The FX5-DP-M MITSUBISHI (Model: FX5-DP-M) is a high-performance PROFIBUS-DP master expansion module engineered for the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F Series (FX5U and FX5UC) compact PLC platform. Designed to integrate compact PLCs into broad industrial fieldbus networks, the FX5-DP-M MITSUBISHI allows iQ-F controllers to act as Class 1 DP master stations, controlling and exchanging data with up to 126 PROFIBUS-DP slave devices.
Equipped with a standard 9-pin Sub-D female connector, the FX5-DP-M MITSUBISHI supports high-speed network transmission rates up to 12 Mbps. Featuring automatic baud rate detection, flexible DP-V0 and DP-V1 cyclic/acyclic communication modes, and comprehensive LED network diagnostics, it simplifies network configuration while bridging iQ-F PLCs with remote I/O islands, variable frequency drives, soft starters, and field instrumentation.
Key Features of the FX5-DP-M MITSUBISHI
-
PROFIBUS-DP Master Capability: Enables MELSEC iQ-F PLCs to operate as Class 1 PROFIBUS-DP Master stations on industrial fieldbus networks.
-
Large Slave Capacity: Supports data exchange with up to 126 DP slave stations (repeater requirements apply above 32 nodes).
-
High-Speed Transmission: Adjustable communication speeds up to 12 Mbps over standard PROFIBUS RS-485 shielded twisted-pair cables.
-
DP-V0 & DP-V1 Protocol Support: Supports cyclic process data exchange (DP-V0) and acyclic parameter read/write messaging (DP-V1).
-
Standardized 9-Pin Sub-D Interface: Industry-standard DB9 female connector for fast integration into existing PROFIBUS bus topologies.
-
Comprehensive Diagnostic LEDs: Front-mounted LEDs (RUN, ERR, BF, DIA) provide instant status reporting for bus errors and station faults.
Primary Applications
-
Multi-Vendor Factory Automation: Interfacing iQ-F PLCs with third-party PROFIBUS motor drives, sensor banks, and valve manifolds
-
Marine SCADA & Telemetry: Connecting central FX5 controllers to distributed engine monitoring and power management slaves
-
Process Machinery & Skids: Managing high-density remote I/O drops across packaging, bottling, and water treatment skids
