In addition to the standard I/O, complex devices often need to be connected. The X20CS communication modules are intended precisely for cases like this. As normal X20 electronics modules, they can be placed anywhere on the remote backplane.
The module is equipped with 6 inputs for 1 or 2-wire connections. The X20 6-pin terminal block can be used for universal 1-line wiring. Two-line wiring can be implemented using the 12-pin terminal block. The inputs on the module are designed for source connections.
The module is used to transfer digital signals from NAMUR encoders according to EN 60947-5-6. In addition to NAMUR encoders, normal switches can also be used.
The module is equipped with 4 inputs for 3-wire connections. It has open circuit and short circuit detection. This detection can be switched off individually for each channel.
