Embedded Communication features
The four kinds of ports on the controller front panel are:
oEthernet port
oCAN ports
oUSB ports
oSerial Line Port
For more details, refer to the chapter Integrated Communication Ports.
The communication electronic module range includes:
oRS232 connection electronic modules
oRS485 connection electronic modules (for Serial Line and Profibus DP)
Controller Power Distribution Module (CPDM)
The controller power distribution module is divided into 3 power circuits:
o24 Vdc Embedded expert modules power
o24 Vdc Main power (for controller, fieldbus and TM5 power bus)
o24 Vdc I/O power segment
There is no configuration necessary for this module.
The controller base provides:
o2 Embedded Expert I/O modules (DM72F0 and DM72F1) each with:
o5 fast inputs
o2 regular inputs
o2 fast outputs
The Embedded Regular I/O may include, depending on the controller range:
odigital input electronic modules
odigital output electronic modules
oanalog input electronic modules
orelay output electronic modules
Every digital and analog electronic module channel has a status LED.
You can expand the number of I/Os for your controller by adding expansion I/O slices. The following table lists the different types of electronic modules available to create expansion I/O slices:
