ProSafe-RS R2.03

New compact terminal boards are now available.
These compact terminal boards accept all kinds of DIO and AIO modules. Moreover, a compact relay board for digital output modules has been also added to our product lineup.

All of these boards take up approximately 50% to 60% less space than previous models, which were all 19” rack mounted. This has been made possible by vertically mounting the boards on DIN rails with screw clamps. This frees up space for wiring and other purposes. The new terminal boards are SIL3 certified, and they and the new relay board are G3 rated.

 In this new CPU, the execution performance will be 4 times faster than current CPU.  It can execute applications with 800 I/O points in redundant configuration, and with 1500 points in single configuration. Application capacity is extended as current model. This new module achieves a sufficient high-speed performance and cost performance in the recent larger projects than usual.

A new 48 V DC  8 channel output module is now available that can generate a 0.6 A/channel maximum load current. This gives users greater choice, allowing them to select the I/O module that best matches the application.

Online I/O Modules maintenance

With the R2.03, it is now possible to install I/O modules and I/O nodes while the system is online. This ability to perform maintenance on the system without having to shut down the plant improves productivity.

Changing Scan Time Period

With earlier versions, the scan period sometimes exceeded the set value when new application logic or a new application was added that took longer to run, requiring the scan period to be changed offline. In R2.03, it is possible to change this online.

New Function Block (First Up FB)

For the situation where two or more events have been specified to be executed at almost the same time, a new function block has been added that uses an annunciator to send notification of the first-up event to CENTUM and FAST/TOOLS. This makes it easier to identify which message indicates the actual cause of a plant shutdown
