Applications
- Digital signal acquisition and output control: Acquires signals through 14 digital inputs and controls loads through 10 digital outputs.
- Analog signal acquisition and output: Acquires 0 to +10 V signals and provides 0 to 20 mA analog outputs.
- PROFINET data communication: Operates as a PROFINET IO Controller and PROFINET IO Device through its 2 PROFINET ports.
- Position-controlled positioning: Supports controlled positioning with up to 8 position-controlled positioning axes and 4 positioning axes via pulse-direction interface.
Key Features
- Digital I/O: Has 14 integrated digital inputs and 10 digital outputs; 6 inputs support HSC and 4 outputs are 100 kHz Pulse Train Outputs.
- Analog I/O: Has 2 analog inputs for 0 to +10 V and 2 analog outputs for 0 to 20 mA.
- PROFINET communication: Has 2 RJ 45 ports with an integrated switch and supports PROFINET IO Controller and PROFINET IO Device.
