The Allen-Bradley 1788-CN2PAR linking device can be used to provide a link between the ControlNet Networks and the ProfiBus Process Automation (PA) network without the need for an intermediate ProfiBus DP layer. The 1788-CN2PAR linking device has dimensions of 5.98 x 3.15 x 5.35 inches. Either a SELF or PELV power supply with 24 to 32 Volts DC output voltage at 0.75 Amps should be used to power up this linking device. The power requirements of the ProfiBus PA network at 24 Volts DC are 0.5 Amps with a single trunk and 0.4 Amps with dual trunks.
