The plug-in fieldbus options bring connectivity to

major automation systems. A single twisted pair avoids
large amounts of conventional cabling, thereby reduc-
ing cost and increasing system reliability. The board
must be located in slot1.

I/O extension option module

This plug-in option offers two additional relay outputs.

They can be used, for example, in a master-follower
application for interlocking functions. All the relays can
be programmed to on/off by parameter. Alternatively,

High speed communication

DriveWindow uses a high-speed fibre optic cable net-

This makes communication between PC and drives
very fast. The fibre optic network is safe and extremely
immune against external disturbance. The fibre optic
communication card is needed inside the computer.

Monitoring drives

Using DriveWindow you can monitor several drives

simultaneously. The history buffer makes it possible to
record a large amount of data in the PC‘s memory. The
drive‘s data logger can be accessed with DriveWindow
and viewed in graphical form. The fault logger inside
the drive automatically documents every fault, warning
and event which occurs. The fault history stored in the
drive can be uploaded to your computer.
