3.1 About the LioN/P module series
The LioN-P (Lumberg I/O-Network Power) module series includes standalone
field bus devices for decentralized use in tough industrial environments. The
devices offer easy handling of the E/A data in a higher-level bus system. They
are especially suitable for use in machines and installations with a moderate
E/A concentration over separate assemblies.
The LioN-P I/O module series has a very rugged metal housing made of
die-cast zinc. The module electronics are fully protected from environmental
influences by the fully sealed housing. The modules have protection classes
IP65, IP67 (IP69 for modules with M12-L). The permissible temperature range
for the modules is -25° C to +70°C. The module series is therefore ideally
suited for direct field service in a tough industrial environment.
Despite the sturdy construction, the module series has compact dimensions
and a low weight.
The integrated 2-port Ethernet switch of the modules allows for a bus or star
topology for the EtherNet/IP network to be set up. The implemented device
level ring protocol (DLR) enables the design of a highly accessible network
infrastructure.
According to the EtherNet/IP specification, the modules receive their network
parameters / addresses from rotary encoder switches. It possible to determine
the last octet of the IP address through this. Alternatively, the protocols
BOOTP and DHCP can be used to automatically assign the network
parameters through a corresponding server.
The LioN-P module series consists of four types of modules with different
I/O functionality. Modules with 16 digital inputs (16 DI), 16 digital outputs
(16 DO), 8 digital inputs / 8 digital outputs (8DI/8DO) or 16 universal inputs/
outputs (16DIO) are available. The output current is 2 A per channel. The
output power circuits are electrically isolated (with the exception of 16DIO)
from the rest of the network and the sensor electronics.
