13 Potential Distribution Modules
The potential distribution modules provide 10 or 16 terminals for potential distribution. The use of
potential distribution modules allows the transmission of 24 VDC from UL or the GND potential of
UL without the use of further terminal blocks.
The potential distribution modules have to be considered for the maximum station extension of
BL20 with a maximum number of 74 modules. A maximum of two potential distribution modules
can be mounted next to each other. At least one active electronics module (e.g. BL20-E-8DI-24VDC-
P) has to follow the two potential distribution modules.
