The FM 450-1 supplies power for the encoders.

The module is characterized by the following mechanical features:

• Compact configuration:
  The rugged plastic housing contains:
  • Fault LEDs (INTF/EXTF)
  • LEDs to indicate the counter is running (CR), and the counting direction (DIR)
  • LEDs for digital input and output modules
  • Front connector as on the signal modules
  • Labeling area on the front cover.
• Easy installation:
  The module is simply mounted in the rack and screwed tight. It can be fitted with a coding element in the front connector.
• User-friendly wiring:
  The module is wired by means of a plug-in front connector. When the connector is plugged in for the first time a coding element in the module engages, so that the connector can only be plugged into modules of the same type. When the module is replaced, the front connector can be used in its fully wired state for the new module of the same type.
