Evaluation Kit - VPC3+S

General Description

The evaluation kit consists of:

  • PROFIBUS base board including RS485 and fiber optic interface
  • Support of parallel, SPI and IC2 interface modules
  • Extension board with Atmel 89C5132 microcontroller
    (USB C51-based Microcontroller, 64K Bytes Flash, InSystemProgrammable via USB)
  • PROFIBUS-DP V1/V2 Firmware (C source code)
    Order Code: PA007062
  • PROFIBUS-DP V0 demo software (C source code)
  • Two additional VPC3+S ASICs for test purpose
  • complete plug´n´play PROFIBUS DP Slave unit based on VPC3+S including appropriate hard- and software (source code): the basic set for PROFIBUS newcomers to reduce development time and cost
