AEG AS-P930-104
- Product Introduction: AEG AS-P930-104 is a compact, rugged remote I/O chassis designed for the Modicon 900 series PLC systems, engineered to extend modular I/O capabilities to field locations in industrial automation and process control applications. The chassis features an integrated communication module, 4 standard Modicon I/O slots, and a robust industrial design, enabling distributed I/O control with seamless data transmission to the central PLC main chassis. It supports hot-swappable I/O module installation, comprehensive power and communication fault detection, and wide environmental adaptability, making it an ideal solution for decentralized control systems in large-scale factories, remote processing plants and harsh industrial environments where long cable runs to a central chassis are impractical.
- Technical Specifications:
- Number of I/O Slots: 4 standard Modicon 900 series I/O slots, compatible with digital/analog/temperature I/O modules
- Integrated Communication: Modbus RTU/RS-485, baud rate configurable (9600/19200/38400/57600/115200 bps)
- Communication Distance: Up to 1200 meters (RS-485) with proper shielding, extendable via repeaters
- Power Supply Input: 24 V DC (18-30 V DC), redundant power input support (dual 24 V DC terminals)
- Power Distribution: Independent 24 V DC power to each I/O slot, 2 A per slot overcurrent protection

- Functional Features:
- 4-slot modular design supports mixed installation of digital, analog and temperature I/O modules, enabling customized distributed I/O solutions for field applications. Integrated Modbus RTU/RS-485 communication eliminates the need for additional communication modules, reducing system complexity and cost. Redundant 24 V DC power input ensures uninterrupted operation of field I/O devices even if one power source fails, critical for remote and mission-critical applications. Independent slot power distribution with overcurrent protection prevents fault propagation between I/O modules, ensuring a single module fault does not affect the entire remote chassis. Hot-swappable I/O module support enables maintenance and replacement without shutting down the remote chassis or central PLC system, minimizing process downtime. Built-in fault detection and LED status indicators provide real-time diagnostics for power, communication and individual I/O slots, enabling quick on-site troubleshooting. The 10 Mbps proprietary backplane bus ensures fast data transfer between I/O modules and the integrated communication module, delivering real-time field data to the central PLC. Compact steel enclosure with powder coating provides mechanical protection and corrosion resistance, suitable for installation in industrial control cabinets and harsh field environments. Configurable communication baud rate adapts to different application requirements, balancing data transfer speed and communication distance. Seamless integration with Modicon 900 series PLC systems with plug-and-play operation, no complex programming required for basic I/O communication.
- Application Scenarios:
