UFC721BE101 3BHE021889R0101 Analogue and digital actuators as well as sensors (e.g. IO-Link devices) can be connected to the M12 module with up to 16 digital inputs. The high channel density reduces both the wiring effort and the space requirements for higher number structures. Since the output current is now twice as high, it is possible to connect actuators with a current consumption of up to 2 amps. The maximum distance between two modules has now been increased from 10 to 15 metres, which makes the Simatic ET 200AL IO system suitable for widely distributed IO in large machines and systems. it is now possible to safely switch off groups of actuators according to SIL2 via the ET 200AL outputs. It can be flexibly screwed on from the front or from the side in various mounting situations, e.g. for perfect adaptation to mounting rails. with module widths of 30 or 45 millimetres and up to 32 modules per station, the Simatic ET 200AL offers a high IO count structure for a wide range of applications. The IO system can be configured quickly and easily via TIA Portal and can be used in Profinet or Profibus networks.

The UFC721BE101 3BHE021889R0101 module allows two Quantum/Unity processors to control the PROFIBUS network. Redundancy creates a backup so that if the primary power supply fails, the auxiliary module will switch to primary mode within 300 milliseconds, making the module ideal for applications where eliminating the risk of downtime is critical. Carl Henning of the Profibus trade organisation said: “Our market segment is growing rapidly, thanks to Our market segment is growing rapidly thanks to the strength of Profibus in factory automation, safety applications, drives and motion control. These applications use PLCs and ABB’s addition of hot standby (or automation failover) functionality is an additional feature that will be of great benefit to these and other applications. The modules contain a motor protection circuit breaker as well as one or two contactors. The power module is also hot-swappable and can be connected to motors rated up to 7 hp with a rated operating voltage of 480 VAC.
