Space-saving I/O modules with fast maintenance functions

The new four-channel universal I/O module LB104A for Zone 2 can be placed in a 16-mm wide enclosure due to a new energy-saving electrical design. This is a space saving of 50% compared to the predecessor model. Thus, costs-per-channel can be reduced by using smaller control cabinets. Furthermore, all new modules have status LEDs that display the respective status of the module for each channel, for fast diagnostics. The universal I/O module is also able to operate as analog input or analog output (4–20 mA), or as digital input or digital output. The respective settings can be adjusted in the Device Type Manager for each channel. — Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, Mannheim, Germany
