The CU310 DP Control Unit drives Power Modules in blocksize format via the PM IF interface. In this case, other DRIVE-CLiQ components such as Sensor or Terminal Modules, can be connected to the DRIVE-CLiQ socket on the CU310 DP Control Unit.
Power Modules in chassis format are driven by the CU310 DP Control Unit via the DRIVE-CLiQ interface. With this option, Sensor and Terminal Modules must be connected to the free DRIVE-CLiQ sockets on the chassis Power Module.
Parameter settings can be changed with the BOP20 Basic Operator Panel. The BOP20 panel can also be snapped onto the CU310 DP Control Unit during operation to perform troubleshooting procedures.
The CU310 DP Control Unit and other connected components are commissioned and diagnosed with the STARTER commissioning tool. The CU310 DP Control Unit requires a CompactFlash Card with firmware version 2.4 or higher.
A CU310 DP Control Unit communicates with the higher-level control system using PROFIBUS and the PROFIdrive V4 profile.
An external 24 V power supply can be connected to the CU310 DP Control Unit when the power connection for the Power Module is not energized.
