SYSTEM CONCEPTION
3.1
Overview
The
ricos
FLEX system is a modular automation system for assembly on a 35 mm mounting rail. By
means of the extension modules with 2, 4, 8 and 16 channels this system may properly be adapted
matching to your automation tasks. The wiring complexity is low, because the supply of the DC 24 V
power section supply is integrated to the backplane bus and defective modules may be replaced
with standing wiring. By deployment of the power modules in contrasting colors within the system,
further isolated areas may be defined for the DC 24 V power section supply, respectively the elec-
tronic power supply may be extended with 2 A.

Components
•
CPU (head module)
•
Bus coupler (head module)
•
Extension module
Only Wieland Electric modules may be combined. A mixed operation with third-party modules is not
allowed!
Bus coupler
With a bus coupler bus interface and power module is integrated to one casing. With the bus inter-
face you get access to a subordinated bus system. As head module, via the integrated power module
for power supply, bus interface and the electronic of the connected extension modules are supplied.
The DC 24 V power section supply for the linked extension modules is established via a further con-
nection of the power module. By installing of up to 64 extension modules at the bus coupler, these
are electrically connected, this means these are assigned to the backplane bus, the electronic mod-
ules are power supplied and each extension module is connected to the DC 24 V power section sup-
ply.
Here you may only exchange the electronic module!
