KEBA+FB201

Description

The KEBA+FB201 module is a component typically used in industrial automation, specifically in the context of control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and process control systems.

Product Name:

• KEBA FB201

Product Description:

The KEBA FB201 is a modular I/O (Input/Output) extension or fieldbus module. This module is typically used to interface with different automation systems and to connect a variety of sensors, actuators, and other field devices to a control system. The FB201 module is part of the KEBA family of automation components and is designed to facilitate communication between the process control system and external devices via different communication protocols.

The FB201 is most commonly integrated into systems for controlling processes, handling data, and enabling the transfer of information between different parts of an automation setup.

Product Parameters:

• Type: Fieldbus Module / I/O Extension Module
• Supported Fieldbus Protocols: Common protocols may include Profibus, Modbus, CANopen, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, etc.
• Modular: The FB201 can be integrated with other modules to expand the system’s I/O capabilities.
• Power Supply: Typically powered through the fieldbus or an external supply depending on the configuration.
• Signal Types Supported: Digital, analog, and possibly specialized signals depending on the specific version of the module.
• Environmental Conditions: It usually supports a wide range of temperatures, humidity levels, and vibration tolerance, making it suitable for industrial environments.

Specifications:

• Supply Voltage: Typically 24V DC (for industrial automation systems)
• Current Consumption: Varies depending on the configuration and the number of connected devices.
• Communication Interfaces: Dependent on fieldbus protocol (  Ethernet, RS485, CAN, etc.)
• Number of I/O Points: The number of I/O points depends on the specific variant ( 8, 16, or more).
• Mounting: DIN rail mounting is typical for industrial automation modules.
• Operating Temperature: Often ranges from -20°C to +60°C, depending on the specific model.
• Protection Class: Generally IP20 (for indoor use) or IP65 for certain rugged models.
• Dimensions: Varies based on configuration, but compact to fit into standard industrial control panels.
• Certification: CE, UL (or regional certifications for electrical safety)

Product Use:

• Industrial Automation: The FB201 module is used to interface sensors, actuators, and other equipment in automated manufacturing and control systems.
• Machine Control: Provides I/O connectivity for controlling and monitoring machines and processes.
• Data Acquisition: Collects data from the field (  temperature, pressure, flow) and transmits it to a central controller or data logger.
• Process Control Systems: Used in various industries, such as automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, or any application where automation and monitoring are required.

Typical Applications:

1. Manufacturing Plants: For controlling and monitoring machinery and processes.
2. Process Control Systems: For data collection and control in industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals.
3. Machine Builders: As a part of integrated automation systems in machinery.
4. Energy Management: In power systems, for monitoring and controlling equipment in power plants, substations, etc.
