Connect Solartron’s Orbit® Network to the world’s leading PLC protocols.
Solartron’s Protocol Interface Module (PIM) provides a simple way of interfacing the Orbit® Digital Measuring Network
to most Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). A distinct PIM is created for each protocol, including: Ethernet/
IP™, ProfiNet™, EtherCAT™, Modbus TCP, & CC Link™
Key Features
Communicate with up to 150 Orbit modules with Explicit Messaging or 50 with Cyclic Messaging
Power up to 10 Orbit modules (depending on type). A PSIM can be used when more than 10 is required
Connect any Solartron Digital sensor including lasers
Connect 3rd party sensors via the Analog Interface Module (AIM)
Download free software pack from Solartron website, then connect PIM to computer via USB cable
Set EtherNet/IP™ , PROFINET®, EtherCat and CC Link ™ settings such as DHCP enable, host name, IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
For PROFINET this can also be done through the standard PROFINET methods – TIA portal, Pronetta.
The configuration application is also used to set Modbus settings such as baud rate, parity, Modbus address etc.
