PCD2.F522 SAIA I/O INTERFACE

Function

The functions of the Saia PCD2 can be expanded using flash memory. Memory cards with file systems and data backup are available for this task. The various protocols whose firmware is installed on the flash cards can also be used by simply inserting the relevant card.  The controller therefore becomes BACnet® compatible. More information to memory management and structure is contained in Chapter 1.1 Saia PCD System Description.

Feature

Multi-Protocol Support: As highlighted, it supports EtherCAT, Profinet, and Modbus communication protocols, offering versatile connectivity options for various industrial networks and devices.

Compact Design: Its small physical footprint allows for easy and space-saving installation within control cabinets and automation systems.

Wide Operating Temperature: Designed to function reliably in a broad temperature range, typically from -20°C to +70°C, making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.

Low Power Consumption: Efficient power usage contributes to energy savings and reduces the thermal load within the control system.

Application

Industrial Network Integration: Connecting devices and sub-systems that utilize different communication protocols into a unified control architecture.

Machine Automation: Enabling communication between PLCs, sensors, actuators, and other intelligent devices in automated machinery.

Building Automation: Integrating building management systems with various field devices using different protocols for HVAC, lighting, and security control.
