Product Description

Released in 2003, the 7IF361.70-1 provides a single RS485 serial interface for integrating industrial equipment. As a screw-in module weighing just 0.66 kilograms, itss designed for tight installation spaces. Electrical isolation protects communication signals from interference. The RS485 interface utilizes shielded twisted pair cabling for networking devices up to 1000 meters away. Support for the widely used PROFIBUS DP industrial protocol enables real-time data transfers between drives, PLCs, sensors and more.

Robust surge and short circuit protection safeguard the link during unexpected line surges or faults. The isolated design prevents erroneous ground currents from disrupting transfers key for maintaining precision control. A slim 36mm wide green plastic housing saves valuable cabinet space. Operating temperatures ranging from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius allow placement in harsh industrial environments. Diagnostic LEDs clearly indicate module status.

Although the 7IF361.70-1 has been discontinued, it maintains CE and UKCA certification. The reliable module continues enabling distributed control architectures and integration of legacy equipment in upgraded facilities. With rugged electrical noise immunity along with deterministic PROFIBUS connectivity, the 7IF361.70-1 cost-effectively links components in demanding settings. It facilitates collecting telemetry, coordination of motors, and acquisition of switch or analog inputs across an automation network. The functional 7IF361.70-1 delivered essential isolated interfacing for over a decade. Its straightforward configuration streamlined bringing sensors, drives and PLCs onto a unified digital production platform.
