User-friendly wiring: Sensors and actuators are connected via two separate 48-pin front connectors.
LEDs:
Red internal fault LEDs
Red external fault LEDs
Green LEDs for digital input status display
Yellow LED for indicating backup operation
High-performance measured data acquisition: The module has 16 analog inputs for analog value acquisition and disturbance variable input as well as 1 additional analog input for temperature compensation when used with thermocouples.
Various encoders can be used: Thermocouples, Pt 100, voltage encoders, current encoders.
Extensive I/O:
FM 455 C: 16 analog outputs for analog actuators
FM 455 S: 32 digital outputs for motor-driven actuators or binary-controlled actuators.
The 24 V DC supply for the actuators is applied externally.
