Intended Purpose

The PROFINET Bus Module CI501-PNIO is used as decentralized I/O module in PROFINET networks. The network connection is performed via 2 RJ45 connectors which are integrated in the Terminal Unit. The Bus Module contains 22 I/O channels with the following properties:

  • 4 analog inputs (1.0…1.3)
  • 2 analog outputs (1.5…1.6)
  • 8 digital inputs 24 VDC in 1 group (2.0…2.7)
  • 8 digital outputs 24 VDC in 1 group (3.0…3.7)

The inputs/outputs are electrically isolated from the ETHERNET network. There is no potential separation between the channels. The configuration of the analog inputs/outputs is performed by software.

For usage in enhanced ambient conditions (e.g. wider temperature and humidity range), a special XC version of the device is available.
