Pepperl + Fuchs LB7x04

Universal and compact modules: it is the basis of the system of remote I/O for zone 2

Picture of Universal and compact modules
Depending on the configuration, the LB7x04 I/O universal module processes analogue and binary inputs and outputs. The status is indicated with the LEDs. During installation, the module can be configured as required. When you go to replace the module, the previous configuration is transferred automatically. This replacement modules stocks are reduced to the use of a single team, the LB7x04.

This module also has diagnostic LEDs to possible yarn breaks indicating failures per channel and the binary switching State. In plant maintenance is much faster with the consequent reduction of costs. Of course the LB7x04 module is fully compatible with gateways and backplanes existing and therefore also valid for upgrades in existing plants.

The reliability and availability of the LB remote I/O also applies to the LB7x04 module. The module only requires in the backplane half space than the previous 4-channel analog module. This generates a high signal density in a small space by reducing the needs of lockers in the control room. As a result, pepperl + Fuchs LB system is more compact remote I/O system for zone 2 from the market.

Power dissipation has been reduced thanks to the electronic design allowing an increase in the density of signals and reducing by 32% space. The high density of the signals, configuration options and the simplicity of maintenance generate a great reduction in time and costs for applications in zone 2.
