Product Description
To allow for a seamless integration within highly complicated automation systems, the 8AC112.60-1 ACOPOS plug-in module was created. It has the ability to draw up to 2.5 W which promotes energy efficiency in the utilization of power. The module has two RJ45 ports which provide avenues for proper networking. The module also has status indicating LEDs for ease of monitoring.
While the Ethernet and the ACOPOS parts remain isolated, there are usually benefits in signal integrity as well as system safety. Because the 8AC112.60-1 supports operations at the baud rate of 100 Mbit/s and the maximum segment length is allowed to be 100 meters it is also capable of very fast data communication. Supporting a hub configuration up to ten levels and allowing tree or star cable topology to uml level 2 hubs, the module demonstrates that it is network compliant. The 8AC112.60-1 works in a way that directly connects to the ETHERNET Powerlink cycle ensuring timing and coordination in networked systems.
In regards to the suppression of malfunctions of the system as much as possible, the module is provided with both hardware and software watchdogs courtesy of the ACOPOS servo drive. These functions provide very essential defenses against risks of system failure. Its ability to withstand storing temperature of {minus 25 degrees Celsius and plus 55 degrees Celsius} makes it solid enough to withstand diverse weather conditions. Because of the features that it has, this module is an ideal option for the advanced automation applications that need high network performance and reliable operation.
