PROFIBUS-DP Communication Solution – PARKER 8903-PB-00 | Profibus TechCard Series
Where This Product Is Used
The PARKER 8903-PB-00 Profibus TechCard is engineered for industrial environments where reliable PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus communication is critical. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- Automotive Manufacturing – Integrating Parker servo drives and motion controllers into PROFIBUS-DP networks on assembly and welding lines.
- Packaging Machinery – Enabling real-time PLC-to-drive communication for high-speed filling, sealing, and labeling equipment.
- Material Handling & Conveyors – Coordinating multi-axis motion across PROFIBUS master controllers (Siemens S7, Beckhoff, etc.).
- Plastics & Rubber Processing – Synchronizing extruder and injection-molding drives via fieldbus for precise speed and torque control.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment – Connecting Parker drives to SCADA/DCS systems over PROFIBUS-DP for pump and blower control.
- Oil & Gas Upstream/Midstream – Fieldbus integration in hazardous-area control panels where deterministic communication is mandatory.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 8903-PB-00 compatible with the Parker AC890 drive?
A: Yes. The 8903-PB-00 is a TechCard option designed for Parker SSD Drives including the AC890 and 690+ series. Always verify compatibility against your specific drive firmware revision using the Parker product manual.
Q: Can this card act as a PROFIBUS master?
A: No. The 8903-PB-00 operates exclusively as a PROFIBUS-DP slave device. The master function is handled by the PLC or DCS controller on the network.
Q: What process data (PDO) can be exchanged over PROFIBUS?
A: Typical cyclic data includes speed reference, torque reference, control word, status word, actual speed, and actual current. The exact PDO mapping is configurable via the drive’s parameter set and the GSD file.
Q: Do you provide the GSD file?
A: The GSD file is available from Parker’s official support portal. We can assist in locating the correct file version for your drive firmware upon request.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for PROFIBUS-DP at 12 Mbps?
A: At 12 Mbps, the maximum segment length is 100 m per IEC 61158. Repeaters can extend the network. At lower baud rates (e.g., 187.5 kbps), segments up to 1,000 m are achievable.
Q: Is this a new or refurbished unit?
A: Please confirm stock condition at time of inquiry. Konmask.com supplies both new-in-box and quality-certified refurbished units clearly labeled at point of sale.
