3005 Data Transfer Unit

The DTU3005 intelligent data transfer device is designed as a low cost solution for transferring data from Siemens devices to systems that have other manufacturer's programmable logic controllers (PLCs) as data gathering devices. Real-time data can be transferred from Siemens ACCESS devices to any MODBUS RTU / ASCII or PROFIBUS DP supervisory software applications, or to other supervisory PLCs. In addition to these capabilities, the DTU3005 can also communicate simultaneously to Siemens WinPM software via a Passthrough port.

Minimal programming is required on both the DTU3005 and the PLC to monitor and / or control the field devices. Up to 32 DTU's can be daisy-chained together, and each DTU can be connected to up to 32 ACCESS devices.

Supported Devices:

Power Meters

Trip Devices

Motor Protection Relays

Input/Output Devices

Although the DTU3005 is not a protocol converter, each model does allow data to be transferred from a SEAbus device to a PLC or supervisory system.

The DTU3005-B can interface to multiple types of PLCs manufactured be several different vendors. In the PLC to SEAbus configuration, the unit transfers data directly to the PLC. Dual Passthrough configuration allows connectivity to multiple supervisory SEAbus applications, such as two copies of Siemens WinPM software. In the MODBUS Master to SEAbus configuration, the unit acts as an addressable MODBUS RTU/ASCII slave device.

The DTU3005-P unit utilizes SEAbus to PROFIBUS DP configuration, wherein the unit acts as a PROFIBUS DP slave.
