Performance Parameters

  • Scan Time: Fastest function block processing cycle of 50 ms.
  • Failover Time: Less than 100 ms for redundant controllers.
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C.

Material Composition
Die-cast aluminum enclosure with internal conformal-coated PCBs for harsh environment protection.

Structural Characteristics

  • Dual Ethernet Ports: For redundant network connections.
  • Status LEDs: Comprehensive diagnostic indicators on the front panel.

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.
