Siemens Data Acquisition Module for Use with PROFIBUS

Use this data acquisition module from Siemens to handle information exchange between your industrial equipment and control units. It works by assessing signals and converting them to values your PC can read. The module has a nine-pin D-sub socket for serial connections, as well as a two-pole terminal block to link measuring devices like sensors and actuators. For added versatility, it also has a BFOC port for data transmission via fibre optic cables. Thanks to its maximum data transfer rate of 12Mbit/s, you can rely on this unit for high-speed communication. It consumes just 0.2A of current, making it a low-energy control solution.

• Wide operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C for use in challenging conditions
• IP40 rating indicates protection from tools and objects larger than 1mm in size
• Compact dimensions of 112 (H) x 39.5 (W) x 74.5mm (D) for use in confined spaces

You can either mount this unit on a DIN rail or on the wall, depending on your design needs.
