Com Unit for MODBUS TCP. Interface between the I/O modules and the PCS/PLC, Communication via MODBUS TCP, Installation in suitable enclosures in Zone 1, Module can be exchanged under voltage (hot swap), Fieldbus type: MODBUS TCP. Connection: backplane bus. Rated voltage: 5 V DC , only in connection with the power supplies FB92**. Power consumption: 2.5 W. Fieldbus type: MODBUS TCP. Connection type: wired to Ex e terminals via backplane. Transfer rate: 10 MBit/s. Station connection: directly to PCS or PLC or via hubs or switches. Bus length: max. 100 m (Ethernet standard). Addressing: IP address assigned via Ethernet. Ethernet address: IP V4 address (factory standard setting: 0.0.0.0, auto IP, DHCP). Number of channels per station: max. 80 analog, max. 184 digital. Supported I/O modules: all FB remote I/O modules. HART communication: via Ethernet. Connection: backplane bus. Redundancy: via left front connector.
