2 About the LioN-P module series
LioN modules (Lumberg input/output Network) function as the interface in an
industrial fieldbus system: They enable a central controller on the
management level to communicate with the decentralized sensors and
actuators on the field level. The line or ring topologies that they can be used
to create not only ensure reliable data communication but also significantly
reduce the cables required and thus also the costs for installation and
maintenance. They additionally enable easy, quick extension.
The modules of the LioN-P series have been substantially reduced in size
compared with the well-known LioN-R family; the modules have a very
rugged metal housing made of die-cast zinc. Housing variants with widths of
30 mm and 60 mm and different connector types are available. The
completely cast device housing protects the module electronics from
environmental effects and allows the device to be used in a wide temperature
range. Despite the sturdy construction, the modules have compact
dimensions and a low weight. They are especially suitable for use in
machines and installations with a moderate I/O concentration over separate
assemblies.
