The SPECTRA™ electronic unit is the center of your process monitoring system. Depending on the configuration, it is possible to connect up to eight analogue sensors to the up to two measuring input modules. Via the Profibus- or the Interbus modules, the SPECTRA™ can analyze another eight digital input signals.
The control communication between the CNC/PLC controller and the SPECTRA™ unit can be operated by these bus systems. In addition to this, it is also possible to realize the CNC/PLC – SPECTRA™ communication via a CNC I/O module, which uses 24 V DC inputs and relay outputs. For process visualization, the SPECTRA™ needs to be connected via Ethernet or a serial link to a PC based control or operating unit.
