6.6 Remote on/off
The IQ Easy system has the possibility to switch Devices on and off via an external control.
Two remote controls are available for this: via the Remote I/O connector or via an optional
(Fieldbus) interface.
By using the Remote I/O control, Devices can be
switched ‘on’ and ‘off’ faster and at the same
time. It also offers the possibility to switch Devices without having to use the controls on the
Manager. An external machine or PLC can use it to control the Manager and Devices.
In the Device you can use t
he “
Remote on/off source
” parameter to set which external
controller should be used (see Section 6.12). The following values can be selected:
“Remote on/off source” value
Fashion
Continuous
The Device does not use any of the Remote I/O controls
and will always provide high voltage in Running mode.
Input
The Device uses the Remote I/O control which is provided
via a PLC on the connector. If the signal has the status
‘Remote Off’, the Device will not provide high voltage, if the
signal is ‘Remote On’, the Device will give high voltage in
Running mode.
Fieldbus
The Device uses the Remote I/O control which is offered via
(a PLC) instruction on the (Fieldbus). If the instruction has the
status ‘Remote Off’, the Device will not provide high voltage, if
th
e instruction is ‘Remote On’, the Device will give high voltage in
Running mode.
