Product Description
Mounting location - The WP 500 modules meet IP20 degree of protection and can be used in closed control cabinets or control boxes (junction boxes) with IP54 degree of protection according to EN 60529 or higher. The compact design means that the WP 500 modules can be installed in standard junction boxes. Please observe the mounting distances when selecting the housing
Mounting- Each WP 500 module consists of a bus base module and an electronics module. Snap the bus base modules onto the grounded DIN rail without the need for tools and arrange the modules side by side. The local bus is created automatically when the bus base modules are installed next to one another. Then, snap the electronics modules onto the DIN rail over the bus base modules.
Removal- Only a standard tool is necessary for removing the electronics module (e.g., a bladed screwdriver with a blade width of 2.5 mm).
Programming interface, service interface -On the controllers and bus couplers, there is a USB interface that can be used as programming interface or service interface. In addition to providing the network interface, it enables communication with the controller or bus coupler from a PC.
Reset button- The reset button provided on the controllers and bus couplers can only be operated with a pointed object (e.g., a pen) and is therefore protected against accidental activation. If the reset button is actuated during operation, the controller or bus coupler is restarted. Using the reset button, the controller or bus coupler can also be reset to the default settings
Memory (controller)- The controllers have an internal flash memory. Alternatively, you can use a plug-in memory device, such as an SD card or a USB stick.
Voltage ranges - WP 500 modules with various functions are available within the WP 500 product group. Additionally, WP 500 backplanes are available, which you can use to integrate WP 500 Smart Elements with different functions into an WP 500station.
