Working Principle
The processor continuously scans I/O modules, executes user-defined control algorithms in real-time, updates output states, and synchronizes data across the redundant control network.
Installation Requirements
- Must be installed in a redundant pair for fault tolerance.
- Requires stable 24 VDC redundant power supplies.
Precautions for Use
- Always back up control logic before performing firmware updates.
- Ensure proper grounding of the control cabinet to prevent EMI issues.
