Distributed configuration
5.4.1
Overview of decentralized structure
The distributed configuration makes it possible to connect SIMOTION panel fronts in
different physical locations to a SIMOTION P320-3. The greater flexibility in terms of location
allows the SIMOTION P320-3 to be positioned in non-critical areas of a plant (e.g. control
cabinet).
The essential characteristics of a Panel PC Remote Kit are as follows:
● Signal transmission between SIMOTION P320-3 and SIMOTION panel front via DVI-D
● The distance between the SIMOTION P320-3 and the SIMOTION panel front can be up
● Graphics resolutions: 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 pixels; color resolution: 16 bits (specific to
● Interfaces on the remote module:
● External 24 VDC power supply required
Note
Using a distributed configuration with the Panel PC Remote Kit reduces the data rate at the
USB interface on the SIMOTION panel front.
