CabinetModule for mobile vehicles
The decentralised CabinetModule provides the opportunity to use the inputs and outputs precisely in those positions in the cabin or in the operating panel where they are required. Wiring complexity is considerably reduced. In this way many signals in the area around the driver’s workplace, e.g. from switches, joysticks or signal lamps, can be economically transmitted to the process control.
Due to the parameter setting of the input and output functions the modules can be flexibly adapted to their application. The flat design enables the integration in dashboards and operating panels. The connection to the network is made via the CAN bus with CANopen protocol.

Functions and advantages

Mechanical structure
The compact plastic housing provides all necessary connections for the inputs and outputs and the communication. The connectors for mobile use are locked and reverse-polarity protected. The status LEDs for the inputs and outputs as well as the LEDs for power / communication and error are located behind a transparent service lid. Using the coding switches which are also located there, the node number and the baud rate can be directly set.

Configurability
The module provides high flexibility due to the configuration of the inputs and outputs. There is a choice of analogue and digital inputs. The function of the analogue inputs can be set as current input 0...20 mA or as voltage input 0...10 V and as ratiometric voltage input 0...32 V. As regards the ratiometric input, the analogue value is read without additional reference voltage, only by internally reading back the supply voltage. A fluctuation of the supply voltage has no influence on the measured value. The short-circuit and overload-protected outputs can be used as digital and PWM output.

CANopen
The profile DSP 401 has been defined for digital and analogue I /O modules. All input / output functions are configured from the user program via the object directory. Setting of the baud rate and the node number is done via CANopen commands or via the integrated coding switches.

Parameter setting via CoDeSys 2.3
Parameter setting of the device functions and CAN interface is directly done from the application programmed with CoDeSys 2.3. To do so, the ”Electronic Data Sheet“ (EDS) is embedded via the CoDeSys network configurator. Thus the status of the inputs and outputs is immediately available.
