MAX5dip

MAX5dip Intelligent, decentralized peripheral device X-Bus CPU module X-MAX-1 to run application-related programs for measurement and control 5 slots for MAX modules A total of 128 screw terminals for the connection of I/O signals. The particular function depends on what I/O modules are inserted. Host interface for downloading programs, and for data exchange or for connection to a fieldbus system such as PROFIBUS-DP or CAN. By exchanging the modules and the associated software it is easy to adapt the device for a variety of tasks. Up to 2 modules can be stacked at each slot. 16 three-colour LEDs to indicate signal states Supply voltage: 24V Partition into terminal and electronic blocks. This permits exchange of the electronics without disconnecting the electrical connections to the peripherals. Can be mounted on a DIN rail or on a flat surface.

MAX8dip

MAX8dip Intelligent, decentralized peripheral device X-Bus CPU module to run application-related programs for measurement and control 8 slots for MAX modules A total of 240 screw terminals for the connection of I/O signals. The particular function depends on which I/O modules are plugged in Host interface for downloading programs, and for data exchange or for connection to a fieldbus system such as PROFIBUS-DP or CAN. By changing the modules and the associated software it is easy to adapt the device for a variety of tasks. Up to 2 modules can be stacked at each slot. Supply voltage: 24V Can be mounted on a DIN rail or on a flat surface.
