Working Principle
The module connects to Rexroth Sercos III motion control bus coupler, exchanging real-time data with the multi-axis motion controller.
- AI Channels: Sample analog sensor signals (pressure, temperature, force transducers), convert analog values to digital data via 16-bit AD converter, transmit digital process values to motion controller via Sercos III bus.
- AO Channels: Receive digital control target values from motion controller, convert to analog voltage/current signals via DA circuit to drive proportional valves, variable frequency drives.
- SSI-IN4 Channels: Receive differential serial position data from absolute SSI encoders installed on servo axes, parse 31-bit absolute position information and transmit position feedback to motion controller for full closed-loop motion control.
Structure & Material
- Housing: Lightweight flame-retardant gray ABS plastic, compact slim Inline series form factor
- Internal Circuit: Isolated multi-layer PCB, independent signal conditioning circuit for each AI/AO/SSI channel
- Connectors: Front-side pluggable screw terminal blocks for sensor/actuator wiring; rear-side Sercos III bus gold-plated edge connector
Installation Requirements
- Standard 35mm DIN rail snap mounting inside IP54 industrial control cabinet
- All analog sensor, encoder cables must use shielded twisted-pair cables with single-point cabinet grounding
- Separate analog signal wiring from high-power servo motor power cables (≥30cm clearance)
- Maintain 10mm horizontal gap between adjacent Inline I/O modules for heat dissipation
Application Scenarios
- Multi-axis CNC machine tool servo motion control systems
- Automated packaging, filling, sealing production line motion control
- Robotic material handling, gantry positioning equipment closed-loop control
- Hydraulic proportional valve precision analog control for test benches
- Printing machinery high-precision register position control
Operation & Maintenance Notes
- Configure all channel signal ranges and filter parameters via IndraWorks software before commissioning
- Quarterly inspect all pluggable terminal block wiring tightness; vibration may loosen contact terminals
- If SSI encoder communication fault occurs, check encoder 24V power supply and differential twisted-pair cable shielding grounding
- Do not operate module in environments with oil mist, metal dust or corrosive chemical vapor without sealed cabinet protection
