Interface module for PROFINET IO •
The interface module connects the
ET 200AL distributed I/O system with the
IO controller
•
Exchanges data with the I/O modules via
ET-Connection
Interface module for PROFIBUS DP •
The interface module connects the
ET 200AL distributed I/O system with the
DP master
•
Exchanges data with the I/O modules via
ET-Connection
I/O modules
•
The I/O modules form the interface to the
process
•
Recording and controlling the current
process status via the connected sensors
and actuators
eCoding plug connector
Electronic coding element with an overwrita-
ble electronic memory for module-specific fail-
safe address data (for example, the F-
destination address)
Y-cable
Y-cable connects multiple actuators or sensors
to inputs or outputs. There are two types:
•
Y-cable: Connects inputs or outputs of the
module to several actuators or sensors.
•
Inverted Y-cable: Connects several fail-safe
inputs or outputs of the F-module with one
or more sensors and actuators
Identification labels
•
The identification labels come with the
module and can be machine printed
•
Can be ordered separately in white or yel-
low for fail-safe modules
