Digital I O module EC-DIO32

EthernetCANopenremote

The aluminium module is extremely compact and offers the possibility of top hat rail moun­ting. All interfaces are quickly and con­ve­nien­tly available on the front panel. Connection technology Using the 3-wire connection technology, all sensors and actuators can be connected directly to the module. The phoenix clamps used ensure a simple and extremely robust connection, which makes the EC-DIO32 very resistant and process-safe. Each IO block of the device is galvanically isolated and is supplied with voltage separately. Thus, dif­ferent voltages can be applied to one module for the operation of emergency stop circuits, e.g. safety doors. Fieldbus interfaces Two RJ45 sockets for EtherCAT and CAN are provided on the mo­dule, which enables simple connection with other modules via Ethernet patch cables. In this way, de­cen­tra­lised use of the module is also possible. Signal processing Due to the configurability of the IO blocks, the device offers completely new possibilities for signal proces­sing. The user now has the pos­si­bil­ity to freely select both the use of the module and the design of the machine net­work. Microcontroller In addition to the inputs and outputs, it has a powerful microcontroller that handles the acquisition of the sensors, the control of the ac­tu­ators and the EtherCAT protocol. Ad­dit­io­nally a relay contact (changeover) can be used as a safety function. Diagnostic features Various diagnostic options make the device an ideal solution for EtherCAT networks. The power supply of the blocks can be read back in analog mode as well as the levels at the individual inputs and outputs. Also a digital monitoring of the out­puts is implemented.
