I/O Modules
I/O modules are used to modify signals between field devices in explosion-
hazardous areas and controllers or control systems in the safe area. The slots for
the I/O modules on the backplane are equal, so you can use I/O modules with
different functions next to each other. The various I/O modules can be
plugged in.
The integrated removal device allows you to quickly install and safely replace
modules during ongoing operation if the module has intrinsically safe front
connections or no front connections.
The status of each channel is displayed using an LED. This gives your
technician clear information about the status of the field device directly on the
device itself. For more information about the status LEDs, please refer to the
respective datasheets for the modules.
