Link automated equipment to your control device with this PLC interface module from Siemens. By connecting an I/O module (such as 746-6602) to an industrial network, it lets control signals travel straight to actuators, giving you handy remote system management. As it supports PROFINET communication, it's widely compatible with standard networks. Front-facing LED indicators make it simple to keep tabs on the unit's connection status. It supports media redundancy setups, meaning it switches data links if there's a disconnection to keep process information flowing. Look for interface modules like this in bottling plants and FMCG manufacturing facilities.

• Supports up to 12 I/O modules in complex systems
• Mounts onto a DIN rail, so installation is simple and tool-free
• 2 built-in RJ45 ports for direct network connection
• Compact measurements of 40 (W) x 125 (H) x 118mm (D) mean it slots neatly into a busy system
• Power loss of just 6W, minimising electrical usage

Yes, this product needs a memory card (203-3760) to discover and remember the linked devices on its network.
