USB interface, Ethernet interface. The EM 131 also has space for a third override switch, a handwheel or other operator controls. The function of the MCP 398C can be extended considerably by installing additional keys. All keys are designed with replaceable caps for machine-specific adaptations. The key caps can be freely inscribed using a laser.
Expansion modules: EM 66: ● When installed next to the MCP 398C, this results in a total width of 464 mm. The EM 66 is therefore suitable for use with the TOP 1900. ● Four 16 mm or three 22 mm slots (depending on the size of the switching elements).
● The 24 VDC cable must be approved for temperatures up to 70° C. ● Select the permitted conductor cross-section in accordance with the national regulations (NEC, VDE, etc.) and the "Power supply connectors for MCP 398C" table below. The line protection in accordance with the national regulations (NEC, VDE,...) must be guarantied as appropriate for the selected conductor cross-section.
