High Protection Class IP65: Achieves IP65 degree of protection in mounted state, providing dust tight protection and protection against water jets, suitable for harsh industrial environments
No Corrosion Stress (CRC 0): Rated CRC 0 according to FN 940070, ensuring exceptional durability even in demanding applications with no corrosion risk
LABS (PWIS) Conformity VDMA24364-B1/B2-L: Complies with paint wetting impairment substances standards, making these modules suitable for paint shop environments and applications sensitive to paint defects
Galvanic Isolation via Optocoupler: The fieldbus interface is galvanically isolated using an optocoupler, protecting the module from electrical interference and ground loops
Wide Operating Voltage Range: AS Interface DC operating voltage range from 26.5 V to 31.6 V, with load voltage range from 21.6 V to 26.4 V DC, ensuring compatibility with standard AS i power supplies
Addressing Range 1 31 (0): Addressing set using an AS Interface addressing device, with DIL switch control elements for configuration
Positive Switching Logic (PNP): Input switching logic is PNP (positive switching), compatible with standard industrial sensors and controllers
LED Status Indication: Bus specific LEDs indicate AS i mode, AS i power supply (Aux/Pwr), and AS i fault status . Product specific LEDs (0 7) show switching status of inputs, while LEDs 12/14 show switching status of pneumatic valves (on the valve itself)
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -5°C to 50°C ambient temperature, with storage temperature from -20°C to 60°C and relative humidity up to 90% non condensing
Robust PA Housing with NBR/PUR Seals: Manufactured from PA (polyamide) housing material with NBR and PUR seals, offering excellent durability and chemical resistance
Reverse Polarity Protection: Includes reverse polarity protection for all electrical operating voltage connections, safeguarding the module from incorrect wiring
CE and RoHS Certified: Meets EU EMC Directive, EU Low Voltage Directive, and RoHS environmental standards
