4 analog outputs ±10 V for connecting drives with analog setpoint interface
For IM 174 only: 4 interfaces for controlling stepper drives with or without encoder connection
4 relay contacts for drive enable axes 1 to 4
Encoder interfaces
4 encoder inputs for position acquisition. Each input can be connected either to an RS422 incremental encoder or to an SSI absolute encoder. Encoders with SINE/COSINE signals (1 Vpp) can be connected using external pulse shaping electronics (EXE) which convert the signals to the 5 V TTL level.
Communication
PROFIBUS DP interface with Motion Control functionality (isochronous, max. 12 Mbit/s)
Digital inputs and outputs
10 DI, 24 V DC (e.g. for BERO, probe and "Drive Ready" signal)
8 DO, 24 V DC, 0.5 A (e.g. for drive enable)
Additional interfaces
2 relay contacts for "Ready" signal
An external power source (24 V DC) is required for supplying the module and the digital outputs.
