Decentralized structure

The decentralized structure provides greater flexibility in terms of location and enables the
SIMOTION P320-4 to be positioned in non-critical areas of the plant (e.g. control cabinet).
The decentralized structure of a panel with the SIMOTION P320-4 can be performed via the
display port or DVI connection. Please note the cable lengths that are supported for the panel.
