7.7.2 Operating Principle
The 24 VDC system power supply of the LK441 module supplies the power to the interface circuit by
outputting 2.5 VDC via isolated DC/DC. An opto-isolator is between the interface circuit and the
system, realizing the electrical isolation between the system and the field channel. The field signal is
converted into a digital signal via an A/D converter. Via optoelectronic isolation, it is read by the
microprocessor in the module, then uploaded to the CPU module via the PROFIBUS-DP bus.
