LOCON 200 Fast ular d and mo Expansion module I/O8 With this module LOCON 200 is expanded by 8 I/Os up to the maximum configuration level of 144 I/Os stepby-step. The expansion module contains its own processor. Therefore, the switching accuracy (cycle time) is independent of the LOCON 200(-PB) basic module or in other words: the configuration-dependent cycle time remains the same independent of the configuration level. In the I/O8, the idle time can be configured in a module-related way. Besides, the device supports logic functions. That way logic connections can be realized in a module-related manner. LOCON 200 consists of a basic unit with the tasks of the central actual-alue acquisition, communication with the periphery, voltage supply and some further administration topics. The complete performance capability is achieved by using the expansion modules with 8 I/Os each. Through the consistent rendering as I/Os the basic module as well as the expansion unit achieves the highest possible flexibility and best possible utilization of the hardware. If, for instance only 8 externally selectable programs are required, the otherwise usual reserved pins are not wasted but can be used in another way. The system is limited to one basic unit and max. 16 I/O-modules. Through the use of a separate processor for each module the cycle time in the overall system remains constant and depends upon configuration, encoder type, resolution as well as used softwareperformance characteristics. All modern actual-value acquisition systems from incremental to multiturn encoder are supported. The connection to Fieldbus systems is just as much a matter of course as the configuration via a PCprogram that is to be operated intuitively. The alternative operation through an external terminal or the complete integration in the Fieldbuses come naturally with us. A version with integrated ProfibusDP is optionally available.
