Product information
Overview
Applications
- Process operator control: Supports operator control of the process through parameterizable keys, direct keys, and DP direct LEDs.
Key Features
- Key and LED configuration: Has 8 parameterizable short-stroke keys, 8 direct keys, 8 DP direct LEDs with adjustable brightness, and 5 LED color modes: red, green, blue, yellow, and white.
- Digital I/O capacity: Provides 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs; total inputs and outputs are limited to 8, with 2x SIL 2 or 1x SIL 3.
- PROFINET interfaces: Has 2 PROFINET interfaces with an integrated switch for constructing lines and rings without an external switch.
- Safety communication: Supports PROFIsafe: 1x SIL 3 (two-channel) or 2x SIL 2 (single-channel) emergency stop sensors.
- Supply and output ratings: Uses 24 V DC; 20.4 V to 28.8 V permissible supply range. Outputs are non-isolated, rated at 24 V DC, with 100 mA maximum per channel and 800 mA maximum per group.
- Mounting and protection: Uses a mounting clip for vertical mounting and supports front mounting, portrait or landscape format. Protection is IP65 at the front and IP20 at the rear.
