The EasyNOₓ can use analog and binary inputs and outputs from I/O modules that support the device profile CiA® 401 or 404 and that are connected to the EasyNOₓ via the CAN interface CAN1. The number of available analog and binary inputs and outputs depends on the I/O module to which the EasyNOₓ is connected.
Depending on the application, the inputs and outputs can be linked to different functions, for example for the input and output of measured values or for signalling warnings and errors or certain operating states from or to a master control.
Up to three supported I/O modules can be connected to the EasyNOₓ via the CAN bus interface CAN1. Of these, a maximum of two modules can be the I/O communication modules from BPlus (see section I/O Communication Module BPlus), which are specially available from MOTORTECH.
For more information on the functions and views of an added I/O module, read the section I/O Communication Module BPlus, I/O Module (CiA401, CiA404) .
