The ideal solution for every customer

The increasing level of automation in machines and systems and the consequent rise in the number of I/O devices have in turn increased the amount of wiring required. Lenze抯 distributed I/O systems with IP 20 protection bring order to this chaos. They are flexible systems, customised for individual applications, which provide functions for implementing all types of applications.

Lenze抯 offer comprises two product concepts:

• A compact system for basic digital applications
• A modular system for more complex automation tasks

Benefits for customers

• Maximum reliability
  Lenze is your single source for automation needs. A tailor-made system with common software for all components along with proven preconfigured software solutions reduces the time spent in planning phases - the value of such savings cannot be over-estimated.
  
• Optimising the use of space
  The compact dimensions will enable you to save space in your control cabinet. The 1 or 3-wire design can also be extended as required and is supplied with a fixed number of channels as standard. This means that you are free to choose which product to use to solve your application.
  
• Reducing training needs
  Because the modules in both concepts are operated in exactly the same way, they can be combined easily. Both concepts share the same bus, field wiring and power supply connection technology for commissioning purposes - this saves time.
  
• Ease of replacement
  Replacing the electronics module takes just three steps. The terminal strip ensures that the field wiring remains in place. Simply remove the terminal strip, replace the electronics module, and replace the terminal strip - done.
  
  

The system comprises a range of compact products with a fixed number of digital inputs and outputs. It has a built-in communication interface in the form of the Lenze CAN system bus.

Lenze can supply 8, 16 and 32-channel modules in one or three-wire technology with up to 24 inputs and 8 outputs. The modules have a SUB-D connector for the connection of the system bus, plug-in spring-clamp terminal strips to speed up the wiring process and a switch for the node address.

The system offers maximum operational reliability, can be mounted quickly and easily on 35 mm DIN rails and is even easy to configure - commissioning takes no time at all.

• Configuration
  A tailor-made system with common software for all components along with proven preconfigured software solutions will provide you with maximum reliability. The Global Drive Control configuration tool V4.4 and the update to the IP 20 I/O system device file (which can be found in our Download area) offer the same type of configuration support for the Lenze I/O system as they do for Lenze controllers.
  
• Programming
  Our DDS V1.4 software development environment and the update to the LenzeIOsystem.lib library (which can be found in our Download area) offer the ideal basis for easy operation of the new I/O system with our Drive PLC.
