Design

• Module mounting: Simply hang the modules on the mounting rail, swing them into place and screw into position.

• Integrated backplane bus: The backplane bus is integrated into the modules. The modules are connected via bus connectors plugged into the rear of the housings.

• Simple replacement of the modules with mechanical key coding: Only the fixing screw of the modules has to be unscrewed to replace the module. Wired front connectors are easy to release by pressing on the locking mechanism. The front connector coding prevents connection of the wired front connector to the wrong module type.

• Field-proven connections: Screw-type, spring-loaded or insulation-displacement front connectors are offered for the signal modules.

• Defined installation depth: All connections and connectors are recessed into the modules and protected and covered by front doors. All modules thus have a defined installation depth.
