Short description

The IM 270/W is a cost- and space-saving compact module. It combines the typical I/O design for plastic injection

molding machines in one module and offers functions for changeover point detection. In addition to application in the

plastics sector, it can also be used in other areas.

The IM 270/W supports the “fast control” concept. Innovative EtherCAT communication between the compact module

and the CPU module is used here to minimize dead times and thereby greatly reduce reaction times. This increases the

performance of the machine considerably.

Depending on the type of inputs and outputs, various diagnostic possibilities are available, such as the detection of

sensor failures or short circuits.

The IM 270/W is connected to the CPU module via EtherCAT. To adapt the I/O configuration to the application,

KeConnect C2 modules can be attached at the side directly via the K-bus.
