The CU310 DP Control Unit has the following interfaces as standard:

• 1 DRIVE-CLiQ socket to allow communication with other DRIVE-CLiQ nodes
• 1 PM-IF interface for communication with Power Modules in blocksize format
• 1 interface to the BOP20 Basic Operator Panel
• 1 PROFIBUS interface with PROFIdrive profile
• 1 encoder evaluation
  The following encoder signals can be evaluated:
  • Incremental encoder TTL/HTL
  • SSI encoder without incremental signals
• 4 parameterizable digital inputs (isolated)
• 4 parameterizable bidirectional digital inputs/digital outputs (non-floating)
• 1 serial RS232 interface
• 1 slot for the CompactFlash card on which firmware and parameters are stored
• 3 test sockets and one reference ground for commissioning support
• 1 connection for the electronics power supply via the 24 V DC supply connector
• 1 PE/protective conductor connection
• 1 connection for Safety Integrated
• 1 temperature sensor input (KTY84-130 or PTC)

The status of the CU310 DP Control Unit is indicated via multicolor LEDs.

A BOP20 Basic Operator Panel can be snapped directly onto the CU310 DP Control Unit, e.g. for diagnostic purposes.

As the firmware and parameter settings are stored on a plug-in CompactFlash card, the Control Unit can be changed without the need for software tools.
