Applications
- Operator control: Uses parameterizable keys for operator control of the process.
- Emergency stop input: Supports emergency stop sensors through PROFIsafe: 1x SIL 3 (two-channel) or 2x SIL 2 (single-channel).
Key Features
- Key Panel controls: Has 8 parameterizable function keys, 8 short-stroke keys and a user-definable label membrane.
- LED indication: Provides 8 direct LEDs with adjustable brightness and 5 color modes: red, green, blue, yellow and white.
- Digital I/O: Has 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs; total inputs and outputs are max. 8, with 1x SIL 2 or 2x SIL 3.
- PROFINET interfaces: Provides 2 industrial Ethernet interfaces and 2 PROFINET interfaces with an integrated switch for lines and rings without an external switch.
- Supply and output data: Uses 24 V DC rated supply, with a permissible range of 20.4 V to 28.8 V and 0.3 A rated current consumption. Outputs have 24 V DC rated voltage and 100 mA maximum current per channel.
- Mounting and protection: Uses mounting clips for vertical front mounting, supports portrait and landscape formats, and has IP65 protection at the front and IP20 at the rear.
