The following interfaces and status displays are available:

• Connection to isochronous PROFIBUS (max. 12 Mbit/s)
• 4 encoder inputs for position acquisition Each input can be connected either to an RS422 incremental encoder or to an SSI absolute value encoder.
• 4 analog outputs ±10 V for connecting drives with analog setpoint interface
• 4 interfaces for controlling stepper drives with or without encoder connection
• 10 DI, 24 V DC (e.g. for reference point approach, controller ready signal)
• 8 DO, 24 V DC, 0.5 A (e.g. for drive enable)
• 2 relay contacts for ready signal
• 4 relay contacts for drive enable of axes 1 to 4
• Onboard status display on 4 diagnostics LEDs

All connections are at the front panel.

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