APROL Controller
Consisting of a power supply, CPU, and I/O modules, the APROL controller's task is to acquire and process signals. The I/O expansion takes place using ETHERNET Powerlink.
Field level
The use of various fieldbus modules allows the all sensors and actuators to be integrated according to user guidelines via Profibus DP/PA, Profibus FMS, RK512, ETHERNET Powerlink, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, etc.
Field devices
Field devices based on conventional 0/4 ... 20 mA signals or fieldbuses (ETHERNET Powerlink, Profibus DP/PA).
