Phoenix Contact: 3 New Expansion Modules
Bus coupling modules.
Middletown, PA — Phoenix Contact has unveiled three new additions to its Inline Modular family of products. Two new bus couplers and a backplane expansion module broaden the company's offering of economical and compact I/O solutions. The new Modbus TCP/UDP bus coupler offers the same functionality as the company's Inline Modular Ethernet Bus Coupler in a compact form.

The new product incorporates eight digital inputs, four digital outputs and a built-in Ethernet switch. At just 80mm wide, it provides a 45 percent space savings compared to the Ethernet bus coupler with equivalent I/O. The Modbus TCP/UDP coupler uses BootP to assign IP addresses.

With the addition of the Modbus RTU/ASCII bus coupler, the Inline system now supports Modbus RTU/ASCII. Measuring a narrow 80 mm wide, the bus coupler includes eight digital inputs and four digital outputs. It also incorporates an RS-485 D-SUB connection for Modbus communications. Both new bus couplers have clearly arranged diagnosis LEDs to ensure quick startup and easy maintenance. Multiple UL approvals allow for a variety of applications. The backplane expansion module is a cost-effective way to expand the local bus onto a second rail within the control cabinet. It has a maximum capacity of 63 devices for multiple expansions on a single bus station. An integral power terminal provides all 24VDC voltages required for the low-level signal of an Inline station.
