Advantys™
Distributed I/O, FTM splitter boxes
Presentation
To meet the needs of machine manufacturers and users, automation system
architectures are becoming decentralized, while offering performances comparable
to those obtained with a centralized structure.
Advantys FTM IP 67 modular I/O splitter boxes enable sensors and actuators to be
connected in distributed automation systems using pre-assembled cables, thus
reducing wiring time and costs, whilst at the same time increasing the operational
availability of the installation.
These IP 67 protected splitter boxes can also be used within processes or machines
in harsh environments (splashing water, oil, dust, etc.).
Advantys FTM splitter boxes allow distributed connection of sensors and actuators
on machines via a fieldbus. They communicate on different buses such as:
CANopen, DeviceNet and Profibus-DP.
Sensors and actuators are connected by means of standard M12 and M8
connectors.
This modularity makes installation of the splitter boxes within the machine even
easier.
The configurable I/O splitter boxes also enable the mixing of inputs and outputs and,
as a result, reduce the number of product variants. This provides savings in space
as well as increasing the flexibility of the installation.
Principle
The Advantys FTM modular offer enables, from a single communication interface
(fieldbus module), the connection of a changeable number of I/O splitter boxes.
These splitter boxes are connected to the bus module by a hybrid cable comprising
both the internal bus and the power supply (internal, sensors and actuators). The
I/O splitter boxes are not governed by the type of fieldbus, thus reducing the
number of splitter box references. Addressing of Advantys FTM splitter boxes is
automatic. On completion of mounting, the system is ready to operate.
