Process Supervisor’s control network provides peer-to-peer LIN communications with other control nodes such as Visual Supervisors and additional Process Supervisors. This communication is provided using Arcnet or Ethernet and is the method of connecting to Supervisory systems. Process Supervisor can also be used to communicate with any third party device that supports Profibus DP and Modbus RTU protocol.

• Peer-to-peer communication between nodes using LIN protocol
• Available on ARCnet or Ethernet cabling
• Profibus DP master
• Modbus RTU master and slave
• Simultaneous support for Profibus, Modbus and ARCnet or Ethernet

Open I/O Network
Process Supervisor is designed to use Eurotherm’s 2500 for its distributed I/O system. It can also communicate with any third party device that supports Profibus DP or Modbus RTU protocol.

• Connectivity to 2500 distributed I/O via Profibus DPV1
• Available as Profibus DP master
• Supports Modbus RTU master and salve
• Simultaneous support for Profibus and Modbus

Configuration
Eurotherm Project Studio 2000 contains the LINtools that is used to build both continuous and sequential control strategies. Eurotherm network explorer is also available to download files, and stop/start each individual Process Supervisor node.
