Core Features & Functionalities
- Redundant & Secure Connectivity: Dual Ethernet LAN (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX), dual RedundancyNet interface, and dual Remote IO RBUS (2 Mb/s) ensure uninterrupted data transmission. Supports 32 serial lines (RS232/RS422/RS485), 2 PROFIBUS channels (max. 12 Mb/s), and 2 CANBUS/CANopen/DeviceNet channels (max. 1 Mb/s) for third-party device integration.
- Safety & Compliance: Single unit (SIL 1), dual unit (SIL 2/3), and triple unit topology options; Ex Zone 2 certification (Ex nA II T4) for hazardous areas. Complies with protocols like Modbus (Serial/TCP), NMEA 0183, PROFIBUS/PROFIsafe, and CAN/DeviceNet—with custom third-party protocols available on request.
- Reliability & Downtime Reduction: Extended Built-in Self-Test (BIST), online remote diagnostics, and firmware upgrade support. Hot-swap capability in redundant setups (1oo2, dual/triple Hot-Standby) and redundant power input with over-voltage protection and power alarm monitoring.
Easy Installation & Maintenance: DIN Rail (T35) mounting, pluggable connections, 3-digit address switches, and status LED indicators (Normal/Error) simplify setup and troubleshooting. Lightweight (1.35 kg) and compact dimensions (355×158×87 mm) optimize space utilization.
