ABB PROCONTIC CS31 ECZ Base Module Carrier

Description:

The ABB Procontic CS 31 is designed to simplify implementation and wiring. The CS 31 is a decentralized automation system. The system is ideally suited to application.

Use of the CS 31 system 

• All of the remote units are easily interchangeable, even with the process in operation, as they are plug-in base mounted. 
• The screw terminals of the plug-in bases are used for connection to the process inputs and outputs.
• Bases are screw or DIN rail mounted.
• The DIL switches on the bases are used for coding the address of units. 
• Any additional connected units are automatically recognized by the central unit.

The CS 31 system comprises of the following 

• a central unit, enclosed within a compact case which can be screw or DIN rail mounted
• remote input/output plug-in units, wich are easily removeable. The plug-in base can be screw or DIN rail mounted
• a simple twisted pair wire arrangement (RS 485), which is utilized for connection of the central unit to the I/O units

Features and benefits

1. decentralized architecture as opposed to centralized system
2. reduction of wiring costs (design, materials and commissioning time)
3. configurable input/output units
4. extensive diagnosis functions
5. freely expandable network. Additional units can be connected whilst the installation is operational,
6. simple transparent programming. All remote I/O channels are handled as though they were centralized
7. remote I/O facility is integral feature and not an additional unit
8. programmable serial communications (RS 232) connection to modem, printer, operator display etc...
