The Ethernet ports can also be configured for port mirroring, allowing for better fault analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The PA Link can synchronize to an NTP Server allowing for automatic time synchronization. It also supports an onboard non-volatile event log for improved fault finding. The PA Link has a built-in Power Conditioner which can supply up to 420 mA. The power conditioner is protected against a configurable overcurrent limit. The module also has a configurable built-in Fieldbus terminator.<\/p>\n<p>The PA Link provides a range of statistics and tools to provide a detailed diagnostic overview of each PA Link, which speeds-up fault finding. The Slate Configuration Utility allows the user to perform a PROFIBUS PA packet capture of the running Fieldbus which can be used to analyze the bus behavior and packets received. The PA Link also provides global and device specific statistics.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and troubleshooting of the module. The stand-alone configuration utility allows users to define the setup and configuration of the PROFIBUS PA module, connections with controllers and devices.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"features_and_benefits\" class=\"tabdiv ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"ui-id-2\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"false\">\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1.png\" alt=\"PA Link Schematic 1\" width=\"800\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1-490x262.png 490w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1-500x267.png 500w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-Schematic01-1-600x320.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"features_and_benefits\" class=\"tabdiv ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"ui-id-2\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"false\">\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-schematic03.png\" alt=\"PA Link Schematic 3\" width=\"530\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-schematic03.png 530w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-schematic03-490x510.png 490w, https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PALink-schematic03-480x500.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Direct link from PROFIBUS PA to <b>EtherNet\/IP <\/b>or <b>Modbus TCP\/IP <\/b><\/li>\n<li>Exchange up to <b>2 kilobytes <\/b>of PROFIBUS PA device and status data<\/li>\n<li>Support for up to 32 PROFIBUS PA slave devices<\/li>\n<li>Embedded 2 port Ethernet switch \u2013 <b>DLR <\/b>capable<\/li>\n<li>Built-in <b>Isolated <\/b>PA <b>Power Conditioner <\/b>\u2013 Max. 420 mA (Temperature limited)<\/li>\n<li>Configurable bus <b>Current Protection <\/b>(Trip)<\/li>\n<li>Built-in configurable <b>Bus Terminator <\/b><\/li>\n<li>Supports PROFIBUS PA Master <b>Redundancy <\/b>(Active \/ Standby)<\/li>\n<li>FDT Asset Management &#8211;
