Segment Terminal Modules

Segment Terminal modules can be used to create a segment circuit within
the main circuit. The segment circuit allows the separate supply of power
outputs (e.g., motor contactors), digital actuators, and digital sensors. With a
segment terminal you can also control the segment circuit and switch it on
or off, e.g., using emergency stop loops. Segment Terminal modules can
only be used with 24V power.
Segment Terminals do NOT provide electrical isolation. A Power Terminal
module must be used for that purpose.
Segment terminals can only be used with 24V power.
The connection between the main circuit and the segment / auxiliary supply
requires a jumper wire or external switch. Segment terminals have terminal
points for the connection of a jumper or switch. When using a standard
segment terminal, (IC220PWR011), the segment circuit is not protected!
The 24V supply must be externally protected. See "Power Terminals".
Segment terminals with internal fuse protection (IC220PWR012, 013, and
014) are also available.
