The router module (component of the overall mTRON T system) with front-side RJ45 system bus connections (1 x bus in, 2 x bus out) achieves decentralization within the automation system, i.e. the input/output modules are distributed across several top-hat rails/control cabinets. There can be a distance of up to 100 m between two router modules or between a router module and a base module or multifunction panel. A maximum of 30 router modules and a maximum of 30 input/output modules are possible in one system. The power supply and operating status of the module are displayed by LEDs. The electrical connection of the power supply of the router module is made on the front via a removable terminal block. The router module does not require configuration. It is integrated into the overall system by the setup program. For special applications such as hot connect, the address of the router module can be set using rotary coding switches. The module insert can simply be pulled out of the housing at the front for servicing. The housing including the bus board remains mounted on the DIN rail. The power supply is DC 24 V +25/-20 %.
