The PowerView4 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 PowerView4 via the CAN interface CAN1. The number of available analog and binary inputs and outputs depends on the I/O module to which the PowerView4 is connected.
Depending on the application, the inputs and outputs can be linked to different functions, for example for signalling warnings and errors to a master control.
Up to three supported I/O modules can be connected to the PowerView4 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) .
