Discrete monobloc TBX modules (IP20)

General

monobloc modules (IP20) consist of either 16 discrete 24 V DC inputs, or 16 discrete 0.5 A transistor outputs, protected against overload and short-circuits, or 16 relay outputs. They cannot be extended.

The connection point address assignment is set by 8 dip‐switches (the 3 most significant dip‐switches are not set), allowing up to 31 monobloc modules to be connected to the bus; Address 0 is reserved for the PLC. A display block indicates locally the status of the module and its inputs or outputs.

At a Glance

TBX monobloc modules have the following components:

An element which groups together the communication electronics and the input and/or output interfaces (1),
a removable terminal block (2) enabling the sensors or preactuators to be connected directly to the 16 discrete inputs/outputs of the module. The necessary power supplies are also wired to the terminal block.

The following diagram shows a discrete monobloc TBX module.

The TBX BLP 01 connector enables the module to be connected to the Fipio bus.
