SIMATIC IPC427C with expansion frame; a maximum of 4 PC-IO expansion frames can be stacked.

For particularly fast and real-time-capable measuring, open-and closed-loop control tasks, the SIMATIC IPC427C can be modularly and flexibly expanded by a central I/O.

By means of PCI-104 expansion slots, encoders/counters as well as digital and analog I/O modules can be integrated using expansion frames in an extremely compact configuration.

The base module PC I/O Base 400 is plugged directly into the PC104 slot of the SIMATIC IPC427C, and any encoders/counters required are routed externally via the KIT 040 (encoder expansion frame).

One or two I/O modules are screwed into the KIT 030 and attached with this to the enclosure of the SIMATIC IPC427C, while the electrical connection to the PC IO Base 400 is made using flat ribbon cables. The I/O can be connected by means of direct connectors.
