Connection of automation systems
You can use the following network adapters to connect to the system bus:
● Standard communication modules:
– If you are connecting up to 8 communication partners per PC station (automation
systems or servers).
– If you are using fault-tolerant automation systems with CPUs (firmware version as of
V6.0).
● Communication modules with on-board processors (CP 16xx) are required in the following
cases:
– If you are connecting between 9 and a maximum of 64 communication partners per PC
station (automation systems or servers).
– If fault-tolerant automation systems are used with CPUs (firmware version earlier than
V6.0).
– If you require connections between a PC station with 2 network adapters to fault-tolerant
automation systems.
Connecting multiple monitors via DVI
If you want to connect several monitors to one PC station, please note the following:
● You can connect one monitor to one port.
● If you want to connect the monitors via DVI, you will need an active adapter (Active
DisplayPort (M) to Single-Link DVI (F) ) as of the third monitor.
Signal module
When a BOX-PC is used as an OS single-station system or as an OS client, a signal module
can be added to the PC. These signal modules can control a horn and up to 3 different lamps
or buzzer tones that represent a variety of message classes. Using a hardware timer
(watchdog), the signal modules can detect and signal the failure of an operator station. A
hardware acknowledgment button can also be connected.
A PCI slot has to be free in the PC for the signal module.
