Interface Modules | Numerous upgrade possibilities

The M1-CPU already offers hardware interfaces for Ethernet and serial connections. If needed the number of these interfaces can be increased by placement of appropriate hardware modules on the backplane. The RS204 module offers additional serial ports with 9-pin D-Sub connectors. In addition the EM213 module extends the system by additional network adapters with three RJ45 ports. This means that the interface extensions can also be used on Fastbus substations.

Industrie Ethernet Master EM213

The module EM213 extends the control system with an additional Ethernet adapter with 3 ports for 10/100 MBit. Thus Ethernet ports for connection of a service laptop or for other Ethernet-based networking are also available on FASTBUS substations.

  • Cable length to 100 m per line
  • Status display via LED
  • 3xRJ45 connections
  • Integrated switch

Interface Module RS204

The interface module RS204 is used to connet four asynchronous serial interfaces to the M1 controller.

  • 4 interfaces on one module
  • Any number of the interfaces possible per controller
  • RS232 / RS422 / RS485 can be combined
  • High speed interfaces with up to 1.5 Mbaud
  • Auto-flow control for automatic handshake
  • Intergrated terminating resistors (connect/disconnect)
  • Interfaces galvanically isolated
