Interfaces

Display and diagnostics

• Onboard status display on 4 diagnostics LEDs

Drive interfaces

• 4 analog outputs ±10 V for connecting drives with analog setpoint interface
• For IM 174 only: 4 interfaces for controlling stepper drives with or without encoder connection
• 4 relay contacts for drive enable axes 1 to 4

Encoder interfaces

• 4 encoder inputs for position acquisition. Each input can be connected either to an RS422 incremental encoder or to an SSI absolute encoder.
  Encoders with SINE/COSINE signals (1 Vpp) can be connected using external pulse shaping electronics (EXE) which convert the signals to the 5 V TTL level.

Communication

• PROFIBUS DP interface with Motion Control functionality (isochronous, max. 12 Mbit/s)

Digital inputs and outputs

• 10 DI, 24 V DC (e.g. for BERO, probe and "Drive Ready" signal)
• 8 DO, 24 V DC, 0.5 A (e.g. for drive enable)

Additional interfaces

• 2 relay contacts for "Ready" signal

An external power source (24 V DC) is required for supplying the module and the digital outputs.

All connections are at the front panel.
