D/A-converter modules:
Automatic examination of CPU digital signals with definable limit values. Outputs electrically isolated.

RS232C module:
Connection of two peripherals Transmission rate: 300 to 19,200 baud.

Computer communication module:
For ”direct“ communication with the computer. All automation tasks are controlled or displayed from the computer. The PLC acts as the slave.

BASIC-module:
Programming in BASIC. Stand-alone data processing. Relieves the load on the PLC-CPU. Programming via RS232C interface. Multi-tasking.

MB Link module:
The entire FP3/10SH series has access to the standardised MODBUS via the MB LINK module. At data transmission rates of 0.3 to 38.4Kbps and with a maximum of 247 slave stations, process data can be exchanged extremely rapidly.

C-NET module:
Slave coupling unit for low-cost incorporation of up to 32 stations via RS485. The communications master is integrated directly via two-wire circuitry or a C-NET adapter.

MEWNET-TR
Transmitter Master module:
Several master modules can each control up to 256 digital I/Os (32 stations). The number of masters, and therefore the number of individual networks, is restricted only by the total I/Os of the FP3 controller available. A primary prerequisite for sensor/actuator networking in field applications is to save equipment count and cost.

MEWNET-TR.
Decentralised I/O terminals:
Up to 32 terminal blocks connected actuators and sensors with the transmitter master module in a space-saving way using two-wire circuitry (RS485). 4-way, 8-way and 16-way terminal blocks can be combined in a variety of configurations.

MEWNET-F
Master coupling module:
Up to four master coupling modules can be connected to an FP3/10SH. Each of the master modules can activate 32 decentralised slave I/O stations – all via a simple two-wire circuit. That means cost savings and more flexible automation.

MEWNET-F
Decentralised slave I/O stations:
Actuators, sensors and various ”intelligences“ are linked to the master modules via decentralised FP slave stations with space-saving two-wire circuitry.

MEWNET-F
FP3/10SH Slave coupling module:
For, amongst other applications, time-saving ”in situ“ programming of the central MEWNET-F master. The programming system is connected to the integral RS422 interface of the decentralised FP3 slave station, thereby offering the FP programmer access to all system components of the master CPU.

MEWNET-W coupling module:
The more cost-effective alternative to MEWNET-P is MEWNET-W. Up to 32 FP controllers communicate with one another via a two-wire bus, whereby every controller in the token bus structure can control data exchange at various times.

MEWNET-P coupling module:
This enables up to 63 FP3/10SH controllers to be linked to one module via fibre optic cables. Over max. 10km distance, two parallel optic fibres ensure optimum data security in the network loop.    

FMS/DP master module
permits simultaneous operation of PROFIBUS FMS and DP. This combined master unit operates of up to 12Mbaud.

DP master module
allows the FP3/10SH PLC to communicate with and control the slave devices in the PROFIBUS network up to 12Mbaud.

High speed counter modules:
They process 1 or 2 phase pulses up to 100kHz in one or two channels, irrespective of cycle time.

Positioning modules:
For system-integrated 1 and 2-axis path control. With a starting frequency of up to 400kHz, this yields a speed of 4,000mm/s. The resolution is 0.01mm per pulse.

A low-priced alternative: the AFP 3480 pulse output module.
