Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration


Compact and practical I/O system

Fieldline, the open-bus installation system from Phoenix Contact in the IP 65/67 protection category, will now be expanded to accommodate the Fieldline Modular design. Fieldline Modular can display complex functions such as analog or digital inputs and outputs. If I/O points accumulate, the I/O display is generated by a bus node, thus reducing costs and bus load for message-oriented bus systems.

The powerful local bus can network up to 16 local bus devices of any functionality, achieving a range of up to 20 m. This circumference allows a decentralised display of functional units at a single bus node. The new modular design is also distinguished by compact dimensions, effective use of space, and a practical handling of all connections and control elements.

Fieldline Modular is equipped with the new Speedcon connection technology from Phoenix Contact. This quick locking system enables the connection of sensors, actuators, bus cables and power supply cables in a half turn based on the 'plug-and-turn' principle. It is completely compatible with standard M12 plug connectors. With the Fieldline Modular and Fieldline Stand-Alone designs, Phoenix Contact offers a complete pallet of I/O components for machine-oriented installation directly in the field.
