System SLIO - Function modules

Function modules (FM) are intelligent modules that perform technological tasks such as position determination, counting and positioning, and other complex functions in the automation independently. They are used when there are high demands on accuracy and dynamic in the starting of automation tasks.

Different functional modules, for example counter modules, SSI modules provide exactly the functions that are required for the respective tasks.

Each functional module consists of a terminal and an electronic module.

The terminal module (TM) contains the retainer for the electronic module (EM), the backplane connectors and contacts for the distribution of the load power supply electronics, the modular connection to DC 24 V load power supply and the staircase-shaped terminal block for the wiring.

Furthermore the terminal module processes a locking system for fixing to a profile rail. The SLIO system can also be constructed "block by block" outside the cabinet and later assembled as a complete system in the control cabinet.

The functionality of the signal module is defined via the electronic module that is connected by a secure sliding mechanism to the terminal module.
