Expansion options include external braking resistors and a separate 24 V power supply for stand-alone control voltage operation. Furthermore, NORD provides I/O modules that allow for the detection and transfer of sensor and actuator signals as well as communication interfaces (with and without I/Os) for CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, PROFINET and EtherCAT. Interfaces for the Industrial Ethernet standards POWERLINK and EtherNet/IP are under preparation. Expansion options are available as external technology units for straightforward and versatile installation either directly on the device, or on a machine frame or plant component. Alternatively, they are available as internal modules that extend the integrated functional range without altering the dimensions of the inverter. A ParameterBox with a control panel and a plain text display enables control, configuration and diagnostics. It also allows for the direct connection of a PC via a USB port. Another option for quick configuration and diagnostics is the SimpleBox which has a control panel with a four-digit, seven-segment display. In addition to the 24 V power supply for stand-alone operation, NORD also provides the PotiBox with robust controls for clockwise/counterclockwise operation and a setpoint potentiometer. Detailed information about the basic equipment, optional modules and applications is available at the website www.sk200e.de.
