Engineering Advantages
- Native ControlLogix Integration: Occupies a standard 1756 backplane slot; data mapped directly to controller tags via produced/consumed tag model — no external gateway required.
- Dual Master Class Support: Operates as both DPM1 (cyclic I/O exchange) and DPM2 (acyclic parameter access), enabling full PROFIBUS DP-V1 functionality for advanced device parameterization.
- High-Speed Determinism: Supports up to 12 Mbps baud rate with deterministic scan cycles, critical for motion-adjacent and high-throughput applications.
- Comprehensive Diagnostics: Per-slave diagnostic data accessible via controller tags, enabling predictive maintenance and rapid fault isolation.
- GSD File Compatibility: Accepts standard GSD/GSDML device description files for plug-and-play slave configuration.
- Redundancy Ready: Compatible with ControlLogix redundancy chassis configurations for high-availability system designs.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The SST-PB3-CLX resides in the ControlLogix 1756 chassis and communicates with the Logix controller via the backplane. The module acts as the PROFIBUS DP master on the field network, cyclically exchanging I/O data with up to 125 slave devices. Configuration is performed using the SST PROFIBUS Configuration Tool, which generates the network configuration file loaded into the module. I/O data is mapped to controller tags and accessed in ladder logic, function block, or structured text programs within Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000.
Signal Flow: Studio 5000 Controller Tags ↔ 1756 Backplane ↔ SST-PB3-CLX ↔ PROFIBUS DP Cable (DB9) ↔ Field Slave Devices (Drives, I/O, Instruments)

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the SST-PB3-CLX compatible with all ControlLogix chassis sizes?
A: Yes. It is compatible with all standard 1756 ControlLogix chassis (4, 7, 10, 13, 17-slot) and does not require a specific slot position.
Q: Can this module operate as a PROFIBUS slave?
A: Yes. The SST-PB3-CLX supports both master and slave modes, configurable via the SST configuration tool.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for PROFIBUS DP at 12 Mbps?
A: At 12 Mbps, the maximum segment length is 100 meters. Longer distances require repeaters or operation at lower baud rates (e.g., 1.5 Mbps = 200 m, 93.75 kbps = 1200 m).
Q: Does the module support PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic services?
A: Yes, as a Class 2 master (DPM2), the SST-PB3-CLX supports DP-V1 acyclic read/write services for device parameterization and diagnostics.
Q: Is firmware upgrade available in the field?
A: Firmware updates are supported via the SST configuration utility. Contact Konmask support for the latest firmware version applicable to your hardware revision.
Q: What Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 versions are supported?
A: The module is compatible with RSLogix 5000 v16 and above, and Studio 5000 Logix Designer v21 and above. Refer to the SST release notes for version-specific compatibility.
