LOCON 200 consists of a basic unit with the tasks of the central actual-value acquisition, communication with the periphery, voltage supply and some further administration topics.

The complete performance capacity is achieved by using the expansion module with 8 I/Os each. Through the consistent arrangement as I/Os the basic module as well as the expansion unit achieve highest possible flexibility and best possible utilization of the hardware.
If, for instance only 8 externally selectable programs are required, the otherwise usually reserved pins are not useless but they can be used elsewhere.

The system is limited to one basic unit and max. 16 I/O-modules. Through the use of a separate processor for each module the cycle time in the overall system remains constant and depends upon configuration, encoder type, resolution as well as used software-performance characteristics. All modern actual value acquisition systems from incremental to multiturn encoder are supported. Alternatively the device can also be operated as program control unit (timer function). The time basis is generated internally and can be adjusted in the range from 1 to 65535 ms.

The connection to Fieldbus systems is as a matter of course as is the intuitive configuration via a PC-program. The alternative operation through an external terminal or the complete integration in the Fieldbuses come naturally with us. A version with integrated PROFIBUS DP or Modbus RTU is optionally available.
