System description

The designation of the devices consists of the following:
Bus Input Output
Number of digital inputs / outputs
A number of IO-BOX32s can be connected as slaves to PROFIBUS-DP
and/or CANopen. The sensors and actuators are connected directly to the
relevant connections on the IO-BOX32.
The IO-BOX32 offers the following advantages:
D It can be connected to a wide variety of control systems and
D is in permanent contact with the higher level control system via the
PROFIBUS-DP or CANopen, as the case may be.
D The spatial separation of the control system and machine and/or its
assemblies enables a clearly laid out system structure.
D The wiring overhead between control system and machine is reduced.
D Simple connection of sensors and actuators with 2-/3-/4-wire connec-
tions without intermediate terminals.
D The IO-BOX32 provides 24 V for sensors.
D The IO-BOX32 processes the input signals, e.g. from switches, light
barriers, sensors.
D It controls the connected small consumers, e.g. valves, lamps and
contactors.
D Extensions can be retrofitted with low overhead.
D Space savings in the switching cabinet due to direct installation at the
machine.
D Savings of input and output assemblies in the control system.
D Fault diagnosis is simplified.
D Separate switching of loads is possible.
