Phoenix Contact - Left-hand extension modules
A left baying system supplements the PLCnext Control from Phoenix Contact with functions that are not included in its standard range of services. The AXC F 2152 controller can be extended by one expansion module and the AXC F 3152 controller by two expansion modules. If the supported number of expansion modules is not sufficient, the AXC F XT EXP expansion module can be used to operate up to three expansion modules on each controller. The AXC F XT ETH 1TX expansion module provides the function of an Ethernet interface. A dedicated MAC address ensures that networks can be implemented completely physically separated from each other. As an Interbus master, the AXC F XT IB module enables the use of existing systems in Interbus-based applications, among other things. The AXC F XT SPLC 1000 module acts as a safety-related controller up to SIL 3, to which up to 32 Profisafe devices can be connected. As the modules on the left-hand side communicate with the controller via PCIe, the interface can also be used by third-party providers. When a module is plugged in, the engineering verifies whether this has been done in the correct firmware version.
