Keypad Modules • Standard Keypad Modules
2.2 Standard and Special Keypad Modules
Keypad modules are divided into two groups:
•
Up to eight standard keypad modules can be daisy chained and connected to a
controller.
•
Special keypad modules are identical to the rest of the keypad modules regarding their
design. An electrical connection with a controller or standard keypad module is not
possible.They are to be wired by an electrician according to their function
(e.g. connecting an E-STOP button to an emergency stop circuit).
3. Standard Keypad Modules
3.1 Connecting to a Controller or Other Keypad Modules.
All standard keypad modules can be connected to a controller or an another keypad module with
a short cable. There are two sockets provided on the module for this purpose. The sockets are
labeled as input or output with triangle arrows. An output is provided on the controller and on the
display which can be connected to a keypad module input.
Make sure that an input is never connected to an input, or an output is never
connected to an output, as this will damage the modules.
