Brief description
The central processing unit is the heart of the system. It contains the process image of the ap-
plication and manages the configuration and parameter data of the complete system.
For individual control tasks nine program generators and extensive limit value monitoring func-
tions are available.
LEDs are used to indicate applied voltage supply, the operating status of the PLC, system mes-
sages, as well as the communication through interfaces.
A USB device interface, a LAN connection (Ethernet), and two system bus connections are
available as standard. Up to two interfaces can be optionally equipped for fieldbus applications.
The central processing unit, the input/output modules connected laterally, and modules inte-
grated by a router are comfortably configured and parameterized with the setup program or the
multifunction panel 840.
The integrated CODESYS V3.5 PLC completes the parameterizable functions with a powerful
control unit. This allows to realize even complex applications.
