RIO Compact I/O
Our digital compact modules with integrated bus coupler
are ideal for plant-floor applications with relatively few
channels. This allows cost-effective connection of binary
signals to the higher-level controller even where a modular
bus node with I/O modules and a bus coupler is not costeffective
due to the low number of channels.
The Compact series includes modules with 8 or 16 input/
output channels for the following field buses:
• Profibus-DP
• Interbus
• DeviceNet
• CANopen
The bus-specific connections and controls are on top of the
module to save space. This means that, like the modular
I/O modules, the whole front is available for clear wiring
and terminal labelling. The module electronics is fed via the
integrated power pack from the external 24 V supply.
Shared features of the Compact I/Os
• Input/output channels isolated from internal bus
• Combination channels can be used as inputs or outputs
as required
• Output current per channel up to 1 A
• Outputs can be connected in parallel in groups, shortcircuit-proof
and overcurrent-protected
Wiring is by the vibration-proof spring-loaded clamping key
system. The modules can be augmented with a terminal
expansion with two additional jumper levels, to allow fourwire
connection.
