SLIO: Signal modules analog

Signal modules (SM) to connect sensors and actuators are the interfaces of the system to the process. Analog signal modules acquire the analog control signals (e.g. measurement data) to and out of the process level. Depending on the application and type the control signals are acquired from the process level and converted into interpretable signals for controlling. Analog output modules convert the internal control signals into signals suitable for the process level.

A variety of different analog signal modules accurately provide the inputs and outputs that are required for each task. The analog modules differ in the number of channels, voltage and current ranges, isolation, and diagnostic and alarm capability.

Each signal module consists of a terminal and an electronics module.

The terminal module (TM) contains the retainer for the electronic module (EM), the backplane connectors and contacts for the distribution of the load power supply electronics, the modular connection to DC 24 V load power supply and the staircase-shaped terminal block for the wiring.

Furthermore the terminal module processes a locking system for fixing to a profile rail. The SLIO system can also be constructed "block by block" outside the cabinet and later assembled as a complete system in the control cabinet.

The functionality of the signal module is defined via the electronics module that is connected by a secure sliding mechanism to the terminal module.

During service the defective electronic module can be replaced without detaching the wiring.
