1.3 List of I/O slice module devices

XN300 slice modules include both digital and analog input and output mod-
ules, as well as various specialty modules with counting, weighing, and
motor drive functionalities. These modules can be joined together without
the use of tools in order to form a system block. All XN300 system slice mod-
ules communicate through the system bus and are part of the XN300 sys-
tem. In addition, the XN300 system also includes a gateway that can be used
to establish a connection between a higher-level PLC and the aforemen-
tioned system bus.
The system bus is not designed for transmitting safety-relevant signals and
must not be used as a replacement for controllers such as burner, crane, and
two-hand safety controllers.
Power supply and signal terminals must be protected against accidental con-
tact and covered.
The XN300 system may only be operated if it has been correctly fitted and
connected by qualified electrical specialists. The installation must comply
with regulations for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
DANGER

Commissioning the XN300 slice modules and switching them
on must not result in any hazards being posed by the devices
being driven, e.g., unexpected motor startups and equipment
becoming unexpectedly energized.
XN300 slice modules include a variety of I/O modules, as well as specialty
modules.
All I/O slice modules can be used with the XN-312-GW-CAN gateway. In
order to ensure that you will be able to fully commission all I/O slice modules
and functions, make sure that the gateway operating system is up-to-date.
The latest updates for the gateway operating system can be downloaded
from the Download Center on the Internet ￫ Page 11.
The I/O slice modules need to be locked in place together with the gateway
in order to form a system block. For detailed information on the gateway,
please refer to the following manual: „CANopen Gateway XN312-GW-CAN",
MN050003.
Please note that all the object names in the "Supported CANopen objects"
chapters are specified in the form of hexadecimal values.
