Why Choose the Unitronics V100-17-PB1 PROFIBUS Communication Module?
The Unitronics V100-17-PB1 is a PROFIBUS DP slave communication module designed to add PROFIBUS networking capability to compatible Unitronics PLC controllers. By installing this module, controllers can integrate directly into PROFIBUS industrial fieldbus networks, allowing communication with PLC masters, distributed I/O systems and automation devices across factory automation systems.
The module connects to the controller as a plug-in communication expansion and provides a 9-pin D-Sub PROFIBUS interface. It is supplied with a PROFIBUS adapter cable to simplify connection to existing networks.
Once installed, the controller can operate as a PROFIBUS DP slave device, allowing it to exchange process data with a PROFIBUS master controller. This enables Unitronics PLCs to be integrated into large-scale industrial automation systems where PROFIBUS is used as the primary fieldbus communication protocol.

PROFIBUS Networking in Industrial Automation
PROFIBUS is a widely used industrial communication protocol designed for high-speed data exchange between PLC controllers, distributed I/O systems and field devices. By adding a PROFIBUS communication module such as the V100-17-PB1, automation engineers can integrate Unitronics PLC controllers into existing fieldbus networks managed by a PROFIBUS master controller.
This allows distributed automation architectures where multiple controllers, sensors and actuators communicate over a single deterministic industrial network.
Typical Applications
- Distributed PLC automation systems.
- Factory automation networks.
- Integration of Unitronics controllers into PROFIBUS installations.
- Machine control communication networks.
- Industrial process automation systems.
