Description
Housing
The aluminium module is extremely compact and offers the possibility of top hat rail mounting. All interfaces are quickly and conveniently available on the front panel.
Connection technology
Using the 3-wire connection technology, all sensors and actuators can be connected directly to the module. The Weidmüller clamps used ensure a simple and extremely robust connection, which makes the EC-DIO32 RM35 very resistant and process-safe. Each IO block of the device is galvanically isolated and is supplied with power separately. Thus, different voltages can be applied to one module for the operation of emergency stop circuits, e.g. safety doors.
Fieldbus interfaces
Two RJ45 sockets for EtherCAT and CAN are provided on the module, which enables simple connection with other modules via Ethernet patch cables. In this way, decentralised use of the module is also possible. The module automatically detects the type of fieldbus network it is in.
Signal processing
Due to the configurability of the IO blocks, the device offers completely new signal processing options. The user now has the possibility to freely select both the use of the module and the design of the machine network. In addition, each individual block can be addressed.
Microcontroller
In addition to the inputs and outputs, it has a powerful microcontroller that handles the acquisition of the sensors, the control of the actuators and the EtherCAT protocol. In addition, a relay contact (changeover) can be used as a safety function. If the guarding from the master fails, the module switches to STOP mode.
Diagnostic features
Various diagnostic options make the device an ideal solution for EtherCAT networks. Both the power supply of the blocks can be read back in analog mode and the levels at the individual inputs and outputs can be read back. Digital monitoring of the outputs is also implemented.
